The Split Verdict in the Railroad

sired-a $l5.OOoOO0a-year hoist in class rates

At that the wonder that the commission yielding
1errific pressure didn't give the railroads more.
There are two ways OF running business One IS to
wasteulncss and necency; but in order do this you
have to have monopoly
That was the method chosen by the of finance
who ccntercd around Morgan and IL explains why the rail-
roads twice sought permission to raise rates.
The other way to practice careful management study
economy and develop profits by superior service 1t is the
way the real railroad men Of the country would choose

The present split verdict points the latter method
the which must be emphasized the railroads
main in private hands.
It gives enough TO the strain into which IMPROVE
dent guidance has plunged the transportation business and
thus invites better among dealers in railway supplies
But il also hosts the red lamp buccaneerng plainly
