STARTING RIGHT.

People in general, and even those
who transact considerable business
with railroad companies, are unfamil
lar with the economies of railroad
ing. Those who make pretence
of knowing something quote tonnage
statistics, rate per ton per mile, TO-
tai and net receipts, amount of water
in the total isuse of stock, ETC., etc
All that is meaningless unless the de.
tails are given with an understanding
of them that IL seldom or neve!
found except mong railroad men
themselves. Fact Of the matter is
work-a day railroad economics are a
sealed book to outsiders-"It's all
Choctaw"
What would farmers think of men
who know nothing of practical farm
ing fixing maximum price for
which they could sell their products
that price being based on cost OF
seed, cost of labor and per cent on
original investment-and all estimat
"a in a good crop year, taking no
heed of short crop terms, or the hun
dred and one incidental cost items
arising from chance or weather., acci'
dents or pests? There would be re-
bellion, pretty quick.
A l.te thought on this line will
make anyone see there are two sides
TO the rate regulation problem
News Record readers are aware that
this paper has never been an advo-
cate OF regulation for two reasons
first, 1t has always been a failure
for Is years, didn't regulate anything
but the salaries of the regulators
and second, because the rates fixed
are admittedly guesswork.
So, as Mr.. Cotton of the o. R. &
N. said in his talk at the Enterprise
banquet Thursday night, there is
need of better understanding be
tween the people and the railroads in
order that both sides get fair deal
or the alternative is government
ownership. And between the two,
guesswork regulation by prejudiced
commissions and government owner.
ship. Mr., Cotton said the railroad
men themselves would take the lead
In favor of the latter. Mr.. Hartman
said, In substance, the same thing in
a speech at Kansas City, couple
of years ago.
If people don't want-are not ready
government ownership, in the
name of fairness they should strive
for better understanding of the rate
regulation problem. There is no bet
ter way to do this than by personal
acquaintance between railroad men
and the people who use the railways,
such as was promoted by the ban
quet in this city,
