A Momentous Question
In the world of finance the railroad sit

the most serious problem before the
American people. Canada has no diff
Guilty in securing funds, and in great
amounts, for the stupendous railroad con-
struction which the dominion has under
taken. The United States has stopped
railroad construction. Legislation and in
terstate commerce commission may con-

United States engaged in interstate COM

CAPITAL cannot be commanded by statutory
manGate or the ruling of the interstate
commerce commission to make investment
either in the construction of new rail-
ways or In the expansion of improve
ments which are necessary If the business

The only way new capital could re

government ownership. This question Il
regarded by men of finance as one of tine
most serious import at the present time.
