The question is up In Iowa In va
rious forms, affecting the right OF ri

should be declared a public highway
! not only as to Its channel but as tt
its banks. and every meandered Lake
should be public not only as to its
waters but in the matter of approach
and free right OF way along Its shores
Just how far the decision Of tn,
New York courts will go to influ

is something to have the sea beacl

eneisa RAILWAYS DO NOT PAY.


British railroads do not pay and
the value OF British railway stocks
have fallen 80 much In value in re-
cent years that reliable authorities
say investors have lost one-third OF
all their capital In the shrinkage.
This information is rather aston
ishing to the American who has for
years heard the praises OF British
railroads sounded loudly. The gen
eral presumption has been that Brit
ish railroads not only gave the Brit.
ish people the best service In the
world but that they were also exam
pies of the best managed and most
profitable lines In the world.
All that has been said about the
service is true. but from a financial
standpoint the railroads Of Great
Britain are not successful. They
earned last year much more than
5000. 900 900, which is $25.000 per mile.
as against about $4,000 per mile In
the United States, and yet their aver
age dividend was less than 31h per
cent. These have been the conditions
for ten years or more past and as a
result the stocks OF British railways
have deprecated .750.o00,oo0. which
is about one.third OF the total capi
talizaton.
AS London newspaper puts 1t
such state of facts with Great Brit
aims enormous population and huge
trade seems altogether absurd.
Why is II?
According to British railroad di
rectors. British railroads are none!
losers because they are subjected t.
oppressive taxation. They pay no
only an income tax and a passenger
duty to the general government, bu
also heavy local taxes of various
kinds. Within the past forty year
the taxation OF British railways hai
multiplied by ten. Today. out of ev
cry dollar earned. II cents is paid II
taxes
But taxation is not altogether re
sponsible--the management Of thu
railroads must bear some of the blam'
for losses also. For instance
Most OF the railways maintain a pas
senger service that is tremendousl.
expensive instead of revenue produc
ing. The Great Western. one Of Brit
aims great systems, run thirty-eigh
fast trains daily between London ant
Bristol, twenty-one into London, sew
enteen out. Each train in one montl
averaged only fourteen passengers!
But there is still a larger reason
for the loss In British railway stocks
Railway companies are now paying
for the extravagances of two genera
tions ago. British railways cos
! more to construct than any Other
railways In the wrold. The bill foi
construction stands at about $218,00t
per mile, as against about 100000 PEI
mile In the United States and lesi
than $4,000 per mile in Sweden. A
result the British railways are CAPT
talized at s6.435, 100000. After pay
ing heavy working expenses. II PEI
cent In taxes, 1t is not strange tha
there is but little left for stock ani
bond holders.
