OVERCAPITALIZATION.

The one chief objection to corpora
ton railroads and STREET car lines, and
the thing which will finally overthrow
the system for government ownership
is overcapitalization-m people
pay profits and dividends on money
not invested, on values not represent

which is not in existence.
The San Francisco Star gives a most
comprehensive statement Of this evil
in connection with the United Rail-
roads OF that city which will stand as
an illustration for the entire system
Of private railroads and street car
lines. The Star says:
Street railway transportation furn-
