Forty-one Countries In Which the TX
pertinent Is Being Made.

State ownership OF railroads is the
subject Of a report recently issued by
a British commission. Forty-one coun-
tries are dealt with. the number be-
ing divided into -four groups

tries which own and work a part or
tie whole Of the railroad system:
India. Canada. New South Wales,
Queensland. South Australia, Tas-
mania. Victoria, Western Australia.
New Zealand. Cape Colony. Natal and
the Transvaal and Orange River col

Rica. Cuba. Denmark. France. the vari-
ous states Of the German empire Hon
duras. Italy. japan. Norway Portugal.
Ruman.a. Russia. servla. Siam.
Sweden. Switzerland and Turkey,
The second group IS composed OF the
countries where the state. while own
ing railroads. leases them to private
corporations. These are Newfound-
land Nicaragua and the Netherlands.
In Brazil and IN Bulgaria the state
works some Of the railroads it owns
but leases others.
In the third group are the countries
where the state has given assistance
to roads which are in private owner
ship: Denmark, France. Greece. Lux

i Greece and Spain concessions are
given for these roads for certain
number OF years and at the end oi
that time they pass into the hands o.
the state. In Norway some roads be
long Jointly to the state and the loea
authorities.
The fourth group is scarcely
group. since it consists of only on'
country. This is Guatemala, where thu
railroads which were built BY th'
state we're turned over to private own
