IT IS hard to understand why, with all
the popular opposition to railroads, there
is not more sentiment against the ex-
actions of the express companies. The
behavior of the railroads is mild com
pared with the hidden monopoly Of the
concerns which dominate express trans
portation. Combined in an informal
trust which controls the whole system,
they are accountable to nobody for the
rates and service rendered, and in many
cases do not, apparently, care particu
larry for the interests or opinions of their
patrons who pay enormous prices for
their services.
