In getting at the Rabbits they did not think of the hardship that they were working on the rest of the commu- nifty, and now the reaction has set in.

upon a basis which has often been that should prevail everywhere. The whole tendency to give both public show and to leave disputed questions to the judgment of an expert tribun- al, the railroad commissioners of the
 commonwealth Certain tendencies there have been in the past to over tax street railways, but that perhaps has been due to ignorance of the fact that the travelling public must pay the tax. Street railways of Massa- chusetts actually pay in taxes 6.3 per cent of their gross revenue; in other words, each passenger as he hands in a nic1l!e to the conductor is in re- ality contributing nearly half cent to the public coffers. In the main, however. the form of public control, under which the Boston Elevated rail- way has been enabled to build up satisfactory services has been re- peatedly declared by economic writ CTS to be preferable to the types of municipal ownership which some European cities. such as Glasgow. have established.
 A remarkable feature of the fifty years development of street railroad ing is that it has so largely been brought about by Americans Some thing of the credit for the third rail system is due to Dr. Werner Siemens of Berlin and his associates. and very lately the German government and a syndicate of manufacturers have been carrying on experiments on the Zossen Military railroad near Berlin in the utilization of train speeds and high pressure of current For the most part. although every ei- vilized nation has been quick to adopt American street railroad de- vices, none has sensib1y improved up. on them.
