ROADS COMPARED
WITH THOSE OF EUROPE

We are often reminded in lugubrious
statistics and heated orations, says
Lippincotts, that American railroads
are peculiarly deadly to their pas
sengers We are told of the superior
safety of European travel; and not In
frequently we are told that drastic
government supervision or even gov
eminent ownership is necessary to put
an end to the slaughter of passeng-
ers by the steel highways OF America
The contrast between American ana
European railroading is just a shade
more than half true. The deductions
from it are not true at all. Two-fifths
OF the American railroads have as
good a record as the railroads OF Eu-
rope in the matter of safety-and an
infinitely better record in most other
things.
There Is one American railroad sys-
tenn which comprises 1850 miles OF
rails. In the year 1910 it carried 49,
4s1 900 passengers. Counting the aver
age distance of the journey this was
equivalent to carrying 30,0OO.ooo.ooo
Messengers one mile each. 1t was al
most exactly 10 per cent OF the entire
railroad passenger traffic of the Unit
ed States Yet in 1910 this system did
not cost the life of a single passenger.
This, mark qou. was achieved under
american conditions"-those mysteri-
Gus things which are so often invoked
at the inquest. 1t was achieved with
out government Ownership-tna'
panacea so often proclaimed from the
platform The triumph of this great
system was won through discipline
safety devices and plain common sense
1t can be duplicated anywhere by the
same COMMONPLACE things.
