had an attorney to which he replied
he had not. The judge then asked
him If he wanted one and he replied
that all the attorneys in oregon

WHAT THE EVIDENCE SHOWS.

The adoption of public ownership of
railroads would be a political and
economic change of the greatest mag
nitude and importance, and the bur
den of demonstrating, by a clear pre-
ponderance of the evidence and con-
vincing logic, that the result would
be of public benefit rests on those who
favor the new policy, writes B. l..
Winchell, president of the Frisco sys-
tenn. in the December Atlantic. They
have not shown this, nor do I believe
they can. They claim that under gov
eminent ownership wages would be
higher, rates would be lower, service
would be better, and the profits from
the railways could be applied in miti-
cation of public taxation, but the evil
dence shows that under private own
ership the wages paid by the railways
of the United States are the highest
in the world, that the rates charted
by them are the lowest in the world
that the service rendered by them is
as good as any rendered in the world,
and that the taxes paid by them into
the public treasury exceed the net
profits, after interest. paid into the
public treasury by any state-owned
railway system in the world This
combination of facts seems to demon
strate that our railways, under pri-
vate ownership, are the most efficient
ly managed, in the interest of the
public, in the world. What good rea-
son is there for believing that public
management here would be more eff
fcient than private management
when the latter is, in this country,
more efficient from a public standpoint
than public management is anywhere
in the world?
