Over-Regulation

In 1915 less railroad construction was earned on IN
this country than any other year since the CIVIL war
at the beginning of 1916, less new track was under
way than for any other January IN half century.
It does not need scientific economist or a deep
student to infer that something is wrong with the
governmental policies Of the states and OF the naon
when new railroad construction has practically ceased
The country is growing rapidly in population, wealth,
and DEVELOPMENT Immense areas are being opened
TO settlement all the time, and old areas becoming more
conRested There are vast IN the United states
having no railroad facilities and vaster areas having
facilities that are exceedingly deficient in the requisites
of first class service But capital Will not invest IN
new railroad mileage the United States under existing
conditions.
The best equipped students of transportation PROD
lens agree that If would take S5o00oooOoo TO orlng
the railroads of this country up to where they would
adequately present requirements and offset oepe
cation of physical property during the next decade
Far from this capital being available the tendency
is for railroads 90 into kind of bankruptcy, talng
to meet their operating costs and fixed charges out OF
revenues 0nesixh of the total railway mileage OF the
country is in the hands of receivers appointed oy
courts.
The present situation is natural, and often pre-
diced result of overreguation, which has amounted
TO strangulation Similar effects would have been the
rule in the general business and industrial fields and
for the same reason the European had not created
a temporary and unstable super-prosPerity

that Bud Coxatts COW had
strayed away from home aud
gone TO the knobs in search of
greener pastures, and that the
latter gentleman, after a dlllgent
search of three days, at last
found her in a large slnkhole,
which she had filled full Of milk,
and in her efforts ~ get out
had trampled around so much
she had succeeded in churning
the same and almost filling the
hole with butter. Mr.. Phillips
says that Bud not only succeeded
in finding his bovine, but also
realized handsomely from the
sale Of her product. He says
that Bud 5 cow is certainly a
wonder. Danyille Advocate.
