The Answer to The Railroads..

President Roosevelt has taken no back
ward step in the matter of regulating and
supervising railroads by the Federal au
thorities. On the contrary, he would go
further and clothe the government with
authority to prohibit the issue of ficti-
tious stocks, though he would recognize
such stock now in existence and protect
it from the confscation some of our doc
tors of politics and statecraft propose.
But Mr.. Roosevelt's chief anxiety is in
regard to governmental ownership That
is what he breads, and to avoid it he
would resort to rigid regulation and i'm
partial supervision of every concern that
carries merchandise from State to State.
He sees in government ownership the
bureaucracy that withered France under
Napoleon the Little, and paralyzed Rus
STA in the struggle with Japan. l his
opinion proper governmental regulation
is the only means of preventing govern
ment ownership
If the railroads should agree with him,
the entire business would be settled in
short ORDER but even as the Israelites
hungered for the aeshpots of Egypt SO
do the roads remember the easy money
that came from overcapitalization. Not
one of them would agree to the issue of
fiat money by the Federal Treasury; but
they would hold on to the privilege of
selling to the public fiat securities created
by them by a stroke of the pen. The
President says to them: Retain the wa
ter you have, but not another drop. In
future every dollar of stock you put for Ii
must represent real dollar paid into
your treasury and employed for the i'm,
provement or the expansion of your
lines"
1t does seem as though the roads ought
to fall in with this view. 1t is the best
way to spike Mr.. Bryan's guns. 1t is the
only way to spike them. One thing is
certain, and that is that if men like Mr.
Harrimen are allowed to do with impu.
nifty to the great trunk lines the thing.

Chicsgo's Experiment.

The people of Chicago have decided to
strike out on new line in the handling
of the street car problem. They have re-
iected municipal ownership, after having
gone far enough to see that the expert
ment would have been a dismal failure.
Now they propose to try a sort of JOINT
control of the traction companies, through
commission which shall see that inn
provements are made, receipts correctly
reported. and portion of the profits paid
to the city. Within sixty days of Tues
days election a commission is to be APP
pointed-three by the city and three by
the traction companies-to be presided
over by Bion j. Arnold. This commits
sion is to have jurisdiction over all trac-
ton matters.
| The traction companies have virtually
accepted the ordinances passed by the
council over Mayor DUNES veto, and
the way is paved for the ultimate pur-
chase of the lines by the city if it shall
decide to daily further with the munich
pal ownership idea If the ordinances
are not accepted by the companies they
are to lose their franchises. If they do
accept them, the traction commission
will be empowered to provide more cars,
repave the streets, build $50, 600, 600
downtown subway, sprinkle the streets,
build extensions, and tune up the system
generally. The daily receipts are to be
reported to the city government, and 80
per cent of the profits are to be turned
over to the city.
Mayor-elect Busse, it will be seen, is
confronted with situation as delicate as
that which faced Mayor Dunno. The
Chicago experiments in handling the
traction problem are worthy of the at.
tention of every city in the United States
Fortunately for other cities. they are
getting,the instruction for nothing. Chi
cago seems to be perfectly willing tC
furnish entertainment for the rest of the
country, although the expense is fright
fully high. The city government now
becomes Republican, Mayor Busse being
supported by Republican majority il
the council. The country will watcl
; with keen interest the developments o
the next year or two, in order to deter
mine whether the Republican programm,
will prove any more fruitful of progress
than the Democratic plan that has beef
rejected.

reached Seventh street, the horse made a
sharp turn to the left The speed of the
horse, however, was too great to make
the quick swing successfully and instead
of landing in Seventh street, the horse

found that the animal was badly cut
