Government Ownership Is Coming
Judge
Railroads paramount ssue"-A by

Bryan got cold feet on government
ownership and quit, but Van Wagenen
is not OF the quitting sort and he has
published in this book an argument
for government ownership which is
exciting comment all over the world.
For instance, the Bombay Times. OF
India says: I'm view of the English
interest in government ownership Of
railways. this volume is timely
work" The Hartford Courant says:
The book is brief and plain his
tory OF the growth of public owner
ship. The style Is dispas-
sionate, and with few exceptions clear
and convincing. The argument Is
strong and sincere"
These comments upon the book
show that the work itself reflects the
character Of the man who wrote II.
In one notable chapter Judge Van
Wagenen discusses the question as
To whether government ownership OF
railways is socialism. He says 1t Is
not. There used TO be people who call
ed the free school system socialism
but nobody does now People used 10
say that carrying packages In the mall
Is government express business ana
socialistic. but Van Wagenen doesn't
think 1t is. Formerly II was argued
that for the government 10 sell money
orders Is TO go into banking, and
therefore socialistic. but the author Oh
this book denies that II is really so.
He points out that whether II Is so
cialism or not, the world Is gradual
" doing more and more by collective
effort: municipal and state govern
ment, especially in Europe. aie run
ming theaters, tenement houses, mar
kets. street railways. and the like.
This advocate OF government owner
ship OF railways as a means or avoid
ing socialism He says
THE man who has a horror OF So
clalism cannot hope to stop the gen
eral movement all along the line. He
will have to be content with turning
over to the government as little as
possible and the least objectionable
activities. He will have TO do what
the pioneers did, when TO protect
their houses from the mad flames oil
the prairie they engaged in back-hr
ing. AS things are running now, the
privately owned railroads are uncon
sciously doing all In their power to
bring about a condition OF complete
socialism"

At last a writer on transportation
speaks out In meeting and tells the
world that the next great step in Am

Chance Takers.

a practical railway man, F. p.
Roesch by name. and master
mechanic of a Southwestern railroad
by occupation, advances a new rea-
son for the many accidents on Amer
lean railways. Mr.. Roesch say 1t is
summed up in two words chance
takers in Pa speech before the
Railway Surgeons Association this
Western master mechanic declared
that the only way to do away with
railroad accidents is to eliminate the
."chance takers" His position is
wen taken, declares the indianapolis
Star, and his terse description of a
vital reason why railroads OF this
country kill so many people is rather
startling.
When one comes down to the only
phase of railroad operation that has
so Far been beyond absolute control,
Mr.. Roesch says the element of hui
man fallibility stands out as the prI-
mary cause in 90 out of every 100
cases. This view of the matter,
while not questioned, is rather out
of the usual in summing up causes
for accidents on railways. The
American people are the greatest
chance takers on earh. They not
only take chances on making money
but they take chances in politics,
education and in social life. and they
risk their lives daily without the
culver OF an eyelash merely to get
somewhere quickly. Automobile
racing is condemned in some quar-
tiers because of the great danger;
football comes under the same ban;
Marathon racing is risky, as are
prize-Hghting, polo and numerous
other sports.

MATTHEWS
Attends Meeting of National
Association of State
Bank Supervisors.

WASHINGTON, ID. C.. Sept. a.
State Commissioner of Banking SAM
uel. v. Matthews. also chairman Of
the Republican state committee in
West Virginia, is in Washington at
tending the meeting of the National
Association of Supervisors OF State
Banks. The association was adj
dressed yesterday by Comptroller Of
the Currency Lawrence o. Murray.
Comptroller Murray spoke of the
co-operation between the national
and state banking departments, and
offered to furnish. any state bank eN
amfner with lists of rejected applt-
cations to establish national banks.
He said that within eighteen months
los applications to start national
banks have been rejected because APP
pltcants were dishonest or incompc-
tent. because there was not sufficient
business to justify the new banks or
because the men seeking to establish
new banks were promoters or with
out standing in the community. In
this matter of refusing bank charters
he bespoke further cooperation. and
acknowledged the help he has had
from the state examiners.
