THE RAILROAD CRISIS.

1t appears doubtful if the RAILROAD
magnates CT the country realize the
state of the public mind today. They
have done as they pleased so long that
they cannot conceive of conditions that
will curb them.
Even DIR. Albert Shaw, the conser-
vative but observant editor of the con-
sentative Review of Reviews, sounds
note of warning to the railroads in
the current number of his magazine.
THE argument for government own
ership of railroads in the United
States" says DIR. Shaw editorially, has
usually been based upon the view that
these highways of commerce are of
public necessity and should be placed
under public control to insure to the
citizen an equality of advantage in
their use. The principal argument
against such governmental ownership
has been the superior practical eff
cheney of private direction and man
agement. But unless conditions no.
toriously prevalent just now should
soon be changed for the better, the
public-ownership advocates will be-
come confident and aggressive along
a wholly new line of advance, where
they have heretofore been on the de-
plete breaking down of efficiency in
the actual business of transportation
in this country, and will begin to claim
that the government could not posi-
bly, do things as badly and would in
all probability manage the roads with
far higher degree of business eff
cheney. Furthermore, they will point
to the inability of the great railroad
managers to obtain the money they
need to make absolutely necessary i'm
provements, whereas the government
OF the United States could obtain al
most unlimited capital at half the rate
