WHERE PUBLIC OWNERSHIP
SUCCEEDS.

While the managers Of privately
owned American railways complain
of inability to give efficient service,
with reasonable working hours, with
out increased rates, the government
owned roads of New Zealand make
different showing. The Auckland
Star Of July 26 presents figures from
the railway statement. These show
total receipts on operation of 1870
miles Of railway to have been 6 4,54S,-
346, while total expenditures were
&2,91O,883, leaving a net balance Of
&1,637,473. This is 4.39 per cent on
capital invested. In view of these
facts American railroad management
is convicted Of ineff1ciency when the
claim is advanced by advocates Of
private ownership Of public utilities
that the nature of the case must
make government management less
efficient than private. According to
this claim, New Zealand management
must be less efficient than American
management might be, and nothing
but exceptional inefhciency can &C.
count for the alleged need of higher
rates in the United States to make
possible improvements needed in
railroad service. If private owner
ship in the United States can not
make at least as good showing as
public ownership In New Zealand,
then the case for private ownership
is lost.-The Public.
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1916-09-27
FORCE SETTLES NOTHING.

Nothing is truer than that force
settles nothing save which contestant
is the stronger. The trainmen's eight
hour law was due in reality not to
the power of the trainmen, but to the
pressure of public opinion; and the
law will remain on the statutes, not
for fear of strike, but because Of
public approval. 1t would be absurd
to say that the action of Congress
was due to force or intimidation.
Such a contention would be a confess
sion Of the rule Of the many by the
few. The few may control the many
by trickery, but not by force. Con-
gress and the Administration we're
suddenly confronted with a condition
fraught with great possible injury to
the country. There were no laws
governing the situation. Neither the
managers nor the men would yield.
The passage of the eight-hour law,
and the law empowering the Inter.
state Commerce Commission to 1nves-
tigate the whole question, postponed
the crisis. Insofar as the action of
Congress had the appearance of yield
ing to force, it was wrong; but inso-
far as its action is just and squares
with public opinion it is right, regard
less of the action of the men.-The
Public.

Sheriff Lands His Man.

Some time ago a horse and set OF
harness and flynets were stolen from
the Alfred Harris barn at Hawick
and Sheriff Bonde was notified and
set out on the trail. The result of
the hunt for the thief or thieves
came last week when the sheriff went
to Cohasset, and returned with one,
o. S. Curtis who turns out to be the
culprit. Last Wednesday his prelim-
mary examination was held and he
was bound over to await the action of
the grand jury, on a charge of grand
larceny in the first degree.
He claims he had sold the horse,
and the new owner refused to pay
him for 1t, so he entered the barn at
night to secure his property. The
case will come up in the fall term Of
court which opens next week Mon.
day.
