Government Ownership Of Railroads.

In another column of The Star govern
ment ownership of railroads in New
Zealand and the United States is the sub
ject of editorial correspondence. The
experience Of New Zealand does not COM
mend TO the United States ownership
rather than stringent regulation Of the
railroads. for two reasons: ID The conced-
ed advantages of government ownership
in New Zealand are TO such an extent
offset by disadvantages, OF which New
Zealanders complain that the verdict of
successful operation even in New Zealand
is far from unanimous; and CD whether
beneficial or not in New Zealand govern
ment ownership would not on account OF
differing conditions work well in the
United States.
Those who see distinct evils on a
small scale in little New Zealand's gov
eminent ownership believe that those
evils would be reproduced on a grand
scale if government ownership were
applied to the vast railroad system of
the United States. And many Of those
who think that New Zealand's govern
ment ownership bestows blessings un-
mixed with evils declare that the ex-
pertinent would not be successful in
the United States, which. they contend.
is unready and unfit to own and man
age railroads. since here as yet the
people do not rule.
The United States has been under OBJ
servation as the direct regulator with
out government ownership of steam
and street railways in Washington. the
national city. A comparison of local
railway conditions in 1888. 1898 and
today suggests that while Congress as
the Districts legislature is discourag-
fngly slow in It's movements. a highly
creditable record of Improvement has
In this period been written. The evils
which might drive an American COM
munity or the nation to government
ownership of railways are no longer
oonspicuously in evidence in the ma
tons city.

Sacramento Surrenders.
From the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript.
California is cooling off. An alien land
law will be passed. but ii will deprive no
alien ineligible to citizenship of any rights
now guaranteed by treaty. Thus is the
supremacy of the federal government in
the making and enforcing of treaties rec
ognized even on the Pacific coast. The
fact that the advice of President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan against any alien
land legislation at this time has been ig-
nored is of secondary Importance. Japan
may have fault to find with the inter-
probation which the California lawmakers
have placed upon the treaty of 1911, but
a question of Interpretation is a matter
for diplomatic discussion between Wash
ington and Toxic. Sacramento disappears
from the map as a world capital in en-
bryo. There remains. however, to count
the cost in International amity of the
folly of the original proposal to deprive
all aliens ineligible to citizenship of the
right to hold or lease property of any
kind. That involved gratuitous slap AT
Japan and defiance of the nation $
treaty obligations for which the dema-
gogues responsible for it will not soon be
forgiven.

Mr.. Hill and Congress.

James J.. Hill is man of SO much con-
sequence in the business world he should
not talk nonsense. AS a captain of indus
try he has laid the country. and particu
larry the northwest under obligations
He has done some big things in aid OF
national development.
Nonsense il is for Mr. Hill to speak dis
respectfully of Congress. He does not
mean it. and nobody who reflects mo-
Inent will take seriously the remark Mr..
Hin made at ST. Paul alleging injury to
business by the frequent sittings of the
national legislature.
But there are many persons now ex-
cited about Congress and the country. and
they snap up with avidity anything and
everything condemnatory of the existing
order of things And thus Mr.. Hill. by
proposing. in cynical levity. ten-year
adjournment of Congress, plays into the
hands of men with whom ne has nothing
in sympathy. and who would be glad OF
a chance to put an end. not for ten years.
but for good. of all his own activity. They
would if they could adjourn him without
day.
Congress and the captains of industry
should cultivate a respect for each other.
Both are necessary under our form of
government. There is good reason
why they should be enemies. Captains of
industry organize great plants which.
when properly managed. benefit both
themselves and the public. As a people
We should have made small progress
without their genius for discovering and
increasing business values.
Congress- as the representative of the
people. is charged with safeguarding the
peoples interests. 1t must see that this
genius for money making is not exercised
oppressively: that the public gets a just
share.
And yet plain as the case is. of late
years sentiment has been created set
ting Congress against big business and
big business against Congress. Captains
If industry have been blackEsted as gifted
scoundrels without a spark of patriotism
or honorable public spiri, in their COM
position. while Congress has been con-
temptuously tagged as body Of ineom-
petents, meddlng with and muddling
every question of Importance to the
country.
Mr.. Hill is not joker. OF phrase
maker, or Intentionally demagogae. but
a man of large business views. whose
performances have turned out well. and
secured for him an eminent place in
American public life. Noblesse Oblise.
Let him avoid such excuses Of speech
as connect him with those with whom he
has nothing in common. and who think
quite as little OF him as his careless words
would suggest he thinks Of Congress.

Appeals to the People.

| The fashion spreads. New York copies
New Jersey. The democratic legislature
of the former state having defaulted in
the matter of the direct primary issue.
| Gov. Sulzer will call an extra session.
| and meanwhile stump in behalf of what
| he thinks should be enacted into law.
The announcement is interesting. and
promises a warm summer in New York.
Gov. Sulzer loves, and understands. the
art of stumping. He knows his state
| from Buffalo to the Bowery. He has al
ways drawn large audiences. and they
should be larger this time than ever be-
fore. For two reasons:
~ The issue is important. and Gov.
Sulzer has the right end of it. He is
fighting for a fair expression of public
sentiment as opposed to the manipula-
tons of machine politicians working in
selfish interests. He wants the people
and not the bosses to choose public ,serv-
ants. In New York, the bosses on both
sides have had their way at the expense
of the people.
political life. If he wins, he will stand
an excellent chance for denomination. Ii
he loses. he will find that road hard one
u travel 10 the cHCms, anu
Tammany in triumph will be relentless
toward him. He is a member of the or
sanization. and it will pursue him for
his detection. A family row is ever the
bitterest OF rows.
Now. will New Jersey support Mr.. Will
son? If SO. the effect should show on the
New York situa ton The New Jersey
legislature will meet in a few days: tine
New York legislature not until midsum-
mer. If Mr.. Wilson downs Boss Smith
and Boss Nugent. and gets what he is
asking for. Gov. Sulzer should profit by
the victory in his graPple with Boss Muir
ply. The spirit should become infec-
tious.
But if the Jersey bosses down MIR. Will
son. then Boss Murphy will exert himelf
to the utmost to down Gov. Sulzer. He
will appeal TO mis- followers not to permit
the machine men of New Jersey to Guido
them in the contest for the preservation
Of machine politics What New Jersey
has begun. let New York strengthen and
pass along.
The task in both states would be SIM
pier for the reformers if new legislatures
were TO be elected. But Mr.. Wilson is
now striving, as Gov. Sulzer will be later
to bring pressure to bear on men already
i'm office who have made records under
organization pressure. and will be adj
jured to stand by what they have already
done.
