SOME LESSONS FROM EUROPE


'T'he People Pay the Freight
~ HE important question is What
does it cost a people for trans
portation?" For the people pay
the freight in everything that they
consume. It enters into the cost of
living. And in this respect the sta
tistics are more nearly final although
disturbing elements enter here as
we'll. In 1911 the railroads collected
$2,S26,917,967 from the American
people for transportation. That is
$30.72 for every man, woman and
child in the country. It amounts to
about $3.50 per family or one-third
as much as the total wages of a large
part of the working population. The
German railways for the same year
collected $821,651,945 or $12.64 per
capita or $632O per family It is
rather difficult to reconcile these
facts with the claim that German
freight rates are twice what they are
in this country.
A fairer comparison is between
the private roads in Europe and the
public ones And here the compari-
son is all in favor of the latter. In
practically every country rates were
reduced following the naturalization
while in most of the countries
charges are constantly being adjusted
to needs and new demands. Freight
rates in England are particularly
high and are very complicated.

On holidays and Sundays the trains
running out of German cities are

days it seems as though the entire
city were out for holiday.
In Switzerland, Belgium, Italy and
Denmark the idea has been carried
much further. Season tickets are
sold for S, l5, 80 and As days upon
which one may travel as long as he
likes and on any of the railroads in
the country. For a small sum he
can travel five miles or 10000 miles.
The third class fare in Belgium for
five days is $3.50 and for Is days it is
$4.90. These tickets are used not

DETROIT WILL TAKE OVER f : y
STREET RAILWAY SYSTEM

prOval-the entire system will be
controlled and operated by the city.
Neither the city nor the railway COM
pany, under the provisions of the con-
tract, may withdraw from the agree
ment In the event that the court s
figure is unsatisfactory.
Negotiations between the city and
the company reached climax several
weeks ago when the street railway
commissioners submitted to the rail-
way stockholders a tentative .propo-
sition providing for the transfer Of
the property to the city at a sale
price Of mot to exceed $24,9O0,000.'
In executive session, the stockhold-
ers voted to accept the proposition at
the price named. The railway COM
missioners then entered their real
bid for the property, offering to as
sumo the entire bonded Indebtedness
On the city lines-namely $23,250,0o
in return for clear title to the
property, free from mortgage.
Refusing to accept this latest Of
fer, the company made the counter
proposition that the circuit court be
permitted to fix the sale price. To
this, the railway commissioners
agreed.
No Money Down.
Not single dollar will be paid
down by the city for the company's
property. The contract will provide
that the property be paid for out of
the earnings Of the system, on long
time and easy payments.
The city will not bind itself for any
amount nor render itself liable in
any way except to operate the sys-
tenn, and, out of the earnings, to
keep it in good condition and grad
ually to pay off the bonded indebted.
ness.
It is proposed that the city shall
assume control of all the lines within

all lines within the city limits and
several divisions extending beyond
the limits. Approximately 225 miles
of track will be taken over by the
city. ~>'

:RegardIess of many rosy" reports

the unemployed situation at the Head
of the Lakes those engaged in the
building trades are having hard
time making both ends meet accord
ing to official notices issued by the

and slightly greater percentage of
the union men in Duluth are seeking

means normal and at the present

though it is predicted that consider
able work will be started this coming

Warning is being issued to building

~ freight rates are higher in
Europe than in this country
And comparisons are generally made
with Germany in which it is claimed
that the freight rates average II
mills a ton mile while in the United
States they are but rs mills per ton
mile, and that while the earnings Of
our railways in 1910 were .$1O,94O
per mile, if the European rate had
been charged they would have been
$14,580 a mile.
Comparisons Of this kind must be
taken with many reservations and
qualifications
In the first place heavy bulk
freight, like coal, iron ore, lumber,
building materials, wheat and grain,
which make up a large part of the
traffic in this country and enjoy low
rates, is carried almost exclusively by
canals and water ways in Germany
because 1t is cheaper to do so. In
addition, transportation is not the
only item, for switching charges,
terminal costs, demurrage and many
other items are added in America
some of which do not prevail in Ger
many.

the same commodities under similar
distances and conditions should be
taken, and 1T IS MY OPINION

Earnings. Easy Payment Plan
Agreed On.

DETROIT, May 27.-Complete mu-
nicipal ownership and operation of
the Detroit street railway system be-
fore the end of the present summer
is in prospect
After more than a decade of bick-
ering between the city and the De-
troit United Railway company, terms
for the actual transfer 'of the prop
erty to the city have been practically
decided. upon and there is every in
dication that by July the munich
pality will be in actual control of the
system.
Sale of the property to the city
will give to Detroit the largest mu-
nicipality controlled street railway
system in the world. Value of the
company's property has been various
ly appraised at from $1S.000,000 to
$35,OOO,000.
Voters to Act.
At a special election, to be held
probably during the latter part of
June, voters of the city will be asked
to give their final approval to the
purchase plan. Three-fifths of the
voters must approve the proposition,
the municipal ownership question
may be accepted as a criterion, the
vote will be mere formality
At previous elections when the
question has been submitted, it has
carried by overwhelming majorities
by an eight to one vote at the last
election On the auestion-but each
time legal obstacles have been inter-
posed to prevent the actual transfer
Of the property to the city. These
now have been removed, and the
June election is expected to be the
final step necessary for the taking
over the lines by the municipality.
The exact price at which the prop
erty will be sold will be determined
by six memebrs of the Wayne county
tDetroit) circuit court, sitting in
chancery.
Under terms of agreement between
the city street railway commissioners
and the railway directors, the court
may fix any price it deems fair, and
both sides must accept it's findings, or
appeal to a higher court.
