natural that the railroads should be
called on to relieve every grievance
with a cash indemnity. The figures
do not reflect altogether an increase of
damage claims, but rather the change
by which compensation is made in
money instead Of in free passes and re-
bates.
But allowing for all exaggerstion,
there is no good reason why the dis
proportional amount Of loss to our
railroads, by injury to person and
property, could not be materially re-
duced by the exercise of greater pre-
caution, not only on the side of the
railroads and their employees, but also
on the side of the passengers and ship
pers. safety appliances and efficient
service by the railroads will not alto
gether Offset carelessness of shippers
and r~ecklessness Of passengers. Much
of this loss is ~preventable and most of
it economic waste, and 1t can be, and
should be, avoided.
