RAILROADS AND PUBLIC OPINION,

hAtLKOADS AND PIBLIf OPINION
The circumstance that the railroad
presidents who conferred on Monday
with President Taft opposed the changes

he has in mind 10 recommend TO Con
Gress has not caused surprise The rail
roads have generally opposed all the
regulatiye legislation that has been
adopted. and that fact weakens the
force Of any criticism which they make
at this time. If the public service cor
pOrations had co-Operated in the past
in the formation Of regulative laws il
would be a damaging fact that half
dozen Of the leading railroad presidents
OF the country had condemned a pro-
posed enactment Bat the railroads
have lost in influence over public
opinion, partly by their habitual opposi-
tion 10 all progressive legislation affect
ing them and partly by the exaggerated
language employed in expressing this
opposition. The cry Of Wolf" has
grown SO familiar that few take il
seriously
This is a matter Of regret, for there
can be no really intelligent general con-
siderati0n OF the questions involved In

OF that Kings Scottish campaign in 1873
1900. Of 'somerii de bulgis." Thus Lat
inized from Celtic or Gallic. the word
became re-Gallicized from the Latin into
"bouge," retaining its former meaning,
and then assumed the diminutlve form
''bougette. In a French English die
tionary of 1850 the latter word is de-
fined as "a little Golfer. or trunk. of wood
covered with leather, wherewith the
women of old times carried their jewels,
"attires and trinkets at their saddle
bows when they rode into the country;
now gentlemen so call both any such
trunk and the box or till of their cabi-
nets wherein they keep their money"
This definition marked a certain change
OF meaning from a mere travelling bag
to a safe repository of valuables. In
1861 an English dictionary derived bud
get" from the French "bougette," the
Italian "bolgia" and the Saxon "bilig,"
and defined it as primarily a small bag
and secondarily that which is contained
in the bag.
