An Italian Experiment


THE italian government has had q sad,
roads and the taxpayers are paying the
cost Of the folly. The movement was
fairly launched In 1877, and in; 1879 m,
act OF Parliament authorized the state
TO build 3.762 miles of railroad at q n
aggregate cost OF $s2422, 0OO, 900 the lines to
Sbe completed by the year 1900, This was
in accordance with popular demand and
there was popular enthusiasm when the
movement began; but popular enthusiasm
has 8lapscd into popular discomfort, for
tho poor inhabitants of italy nre now
paying from twenty to twenty-five per
cent. OF their Income for taxation, the
I greater portion of which Is collected to
meet the governments railroad ,obliga-
8ticns. 55
The whole story Is admirably told In
ar. article contained in the June number
OF the Journal Of Political Economy, by
Hugo r. Meyer, OF Denver, Col. Mr..
Meyer says that after the act Of July
60. 1879. had gone into effect, the pressure
brought to bear by members OF Par
lament was such that the government
was obliged to let contracts for rail-
ways on surveys and specifications that
were entirely inadequate, and a 8 a result
the cost was more than double the orig
inal estimate. For example, In 1879. and
1880, contracts vera let for 927 miles at
5000 q mile, but by June. 1889. the
charge for work not specified In those
contracts had raised the cost to S1l5,2 zoo
a mile. Every species OF graft was prac-
ticed and the government was fleeced
al. every turn. Moreover. theer was a
demand for railroads In all parts of the
country and lines We're built where bus
~ ess conditions did not Justify, as y
! result of which the government soon
found itself possessed of n number of
roads which did not pay operating ex-
penses. BY 1885 1t WAS discovered that

The Corporation Commission and

criticised for falling to make the rail-
roads observe the SChurchman act, under
the provisions OF which all railroad COM

" cents per mile.
The act did not become effective until
June 18th, and the commission explains
MAT 1t did not think It proper to pre-,
Judge the validity OF Sthts act. or to pass
upon 1t In any way, until an issue should
arise under 1t. especially as the commits.
sion had no means of knowing the In
tention OF tho railroads In the matter
or yielding obedience to Its provisions. AS
a. matter of fact. the issue between the
state and the railroads did arise about
JIne 18th, By the refusal of one OF the
railroad companies to sell q mileage book
at the rate provided under the Church
man act. Since that date the commits,
sion has been in conference with fife

With a view to determining what action
should be taken against the railroads
OF the State In behalf OF the Common
