RAILWAY RATES.
Prof. Hugo Meyer Author of Work cn New Question.


 Prof. Hugo Meyer Author of Work on New Question.
 The appearance of a volume entitled Government Rate Regulation of Rail- ways" has such a timeliness, In view or the present interest in the subject. as to suggest hasty preparation in order to meet a current demand for informa- tion on the subject, but such suspi- cion is soon shown to be i'll founded. The author, Prof. Hugo R. Meyer of the University of Chicago has been engag- ed in a study of the question for twelve years, and this book embodies the re- suits of his investigations. He began his career, as student In Hammond, with a leaning toward socialism, and 1t was through his inquiries into State ownership of railroads that his atten. ton was attracted to the failure Of Governments which had such control as Australia, to conduct transportation In a business like way, free from polit- fcal influence. His studies extended to Germany and other European coun- tries. where he found similar condi- tions, and eventually included work ings of the United States interstate commerce law. His discoveries led him to abandon the socialistic :dea and to reach the conclusion that Government rate making hampers commerce and in- dustrial development.
 Professor Meyer explains that one Of the principal reasons leading the Rus sian Government to take over the own ership of it's railways was the com plaint of discrimination in favor Of competitive points, which Is one of the arguments put toward for Government regulation of rates in this country. In Germany. however, the remedy mas proved to be far worse than the cure. according to Professor Meyer. The conflicts between various producing centers intent on securing or preserv- ing advantages in relation to common markets has thrown the question or railway rates into politics. In many instances important legislative meas ures-for instance, the commercial treaty with Russia--have been passed only by paying the price of concessions fin rates to politically powerful sections of the country.
 Professor Meyer, 1t will thus be seen, Is not a mere theorist. He has facts to support his conclusions, and, though he may not convince all his readers. what he has to say is of much material fn- terest The subject as public cues' ton in this country is comparatively new and there is little general knowl- edge concerning 1t. His book, there fore, supplies distinct and immediate want and is likely to fill an important place in coming discussions of the sub ject.
 The professor testified before the Senate Committee in May. The Sena- tors expected to be bored by dull eco homie theorist, but when business like man Professor Meyer was then in his 3sth year) stepped foward be- fore them and began marshaling striking array of facts and figures and drawing his concise conclusions. the members of the Committee sat up and paid him more attention than they had given to any other witness. lie left the Committee room sn economist of National reputation.

 Paris, Oct 1S.-The French armored cruiser Desaix. understood tc be bound for Venezuelan waters. did not put Into Brest after leaving Cherborgue Octo- Der 16. as it was announced she would do. but passed the island of Ushant, heading direct for the French Antilles where she will join the cruiser Trude and Jurien De La Graviere. For the present the cruisers Lavoisers and Chasseloup-L Laubat will be held at Brest as the situation may not require their presence In West Indian waters.
 The officials here say that the pub lished report that the French squadron intends either to Lombard some coast points such as Cumana or Barcelona or else seipe Venezuelan shiTs ing is an exaggerated idea, as the only decision arrived at is to have ships in readiness the nature of the demonstration being determined later if the attitude of Venezuela requires q resort to force. At the same time the officials are sim cerely anxious to avoid the necessity of adopting force. In any event the United States will be fully advised in advance concerning the nature of any coercive measures.
 4 dispatch from Cherbourge reports that in naval circles there 1t Is expect ed that marines from the Desaix will be landed in Ven eZuela.
