Canada's Ra;11uay Crisis.

this Is the time for Canada to determine
what Its future policy shall be toward the
control and operation of the railroads.
The system of subsidies and guarantees
for privately owned and privately man
aged carrying corporations can not be in
definitely continued. Government owner
ship and operation of railroads is no
longer In it's experimental stage. The re-
spective governments OF Australia, South
Africa, Japan, Germany, Italy ana some
other countries own and operate their rail-
way systems, and successfully. Great
Britain has been practically in con, rol of
its railways since August, 1914. Canada
itself Is no novice In the matter of operat-
ing government railroads. The question
| which it must decide at a very early day
is whether. since it Is so deeply concerned
financially and otherwise in the transcon-
tinental lines now in need of further aid,
1t would not be wise to take these enter
priSeS over altogether.
How far 1T can go, how far it shol..I
go. In the direction of nationalizing its
entire transportation system is too tree
mendouS a question to be treated in any
offhand manner Canada has railroads
that are successful beyond cavil under pri-
waite ownership and operation. The Cat.
dian Pacific is the peer of any railroad N
the world. The Grand Trunk is a g1.. at
system. Government operation of lis
that would compete with these mie mt
haffn tnefn greatly. Government and pyi-
vate ownership of competitive lines is not
to be thought of. Government can not az
ford to come into competition with privat,
enterprise, private enterprise could not
survive government competition carried
on efficiently. The Dominion government
for several years will, If it do its full duty,
find itself very we'll occupied in opening
to the immigrant the country which it's
transcontinental lines penetrate and rami-
fly. Popping the country will mean pro-
viding for the railroads. Present condi-
lions should not determine a permanent
policy.
If the lines in Canada which are not
paying now. and which may not be able
to pay their way in the near future with.
out national or provincial aid, are thrown
upon the market, the desirable sections of
them are certain to be purchased at bar
gain prices by some competent existing
corporation. This would mark a long step
toward the consolidation of all Canadian
railroads under one management, or UNI
der two managments operating through a
common understanding as to division OF
territory. rates and so forth. In plain
language, either private or government
railway monopoly appears to be the choice
offered Canada. and the situation thus
created calls for the coolest, clearest, most
deliberate. wisest thought that can be ex-
pressed through the Medium OF a non-par-
tisan federal commission.

Protection of the national good name is

went into bonds of the Canadian North

Canada to safeguard its past and present

Tho Nations Meat Market.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
A letter from a country banker raises
the question whether the big packers
domination of the meat trade operates in
iuriously to the livestock industry. Many
people in the live stock industry believe
We had a big wheat crop in 1914 and
one that broke the record in 1915, yet
wheat prices are high. The export de-
mand, they say. ccounts for this. Well.
there is a big export demand for beef and
pork products too.
Shipments in 1915 were much larger than
in 1914. yet prices are not higher. They
were rather lower in 1915 than in 1914.
In considering this contrast the fact that
q few men naturally attracts attention.
The business of these men has been in
v~estigated as thoroughly as any in the
country, and the governments prosecu-
ton of them failed. Their position in
the meat trade seems to be a result Of
free competition. with the ablest COM
petitors naturally coming out on top.
AS contrasted with the packing industry.
the live stock industry is ~unorganized. A
hoof-and-mouth epidemic. a short corn
crop, or soft corn In a given region, points
to q final decrease in the supply of meat

err prices. But usually. in fact, its first
result is a great rush of stock to market,
which lowers prices. Grain can be held

The meat market operated unsatisfactory

whether the trouble did not arise from
complete lack of organization in the grow
ing end rather than from highly developed
organization In the packing end.

Tom Stout is a human young man
now doing time in congress from Mon
ana.
One of Toms rare traits of charac-
ter that first entitled him to the ac-
claim of the voters out his way was
the fact that he had never in all his
life made q public speech. There were
two reasons why Tom never was one
Of h speech-making nuisances that
become implicated with politics in al
most every community. In the first
place. he owned a little newspaper and
could use his editorial column for an
escape valve. And, furthermore. he
could not have made a speech if he had
been s disposed, because his talents
did not crop out in that way. Even
today it is just as hard for Tom Stout
to make a speech as it is for almost
n other congressman not to.
There came a time. however, when
Tom had to face the greatest ordeal Of
his life. 1t was during the tariff SEES
sion of h last congress. Tom felt that
the home folks would expect him 10
make some remark or comment on the
floor of the House in regard to the
tariff. He mentioned this to one Of
the floor leaders and it was arranged
that he should be allotted five minutes
! n which to sum up the tariff question.
Now five minutes. viewed in a big,
broad-gauge way. may not be a great
making your first speech and have
nothing in particular to say. Tom took
a deep breath and made the plunge. He
wasn't ure whether he could keep go
ing for five minutes or not, but he
hoped for the best. 1t seemed a long,
long way to shore inc the seconds trio
killed. slowly like drops Of old fashioned
New Orleans molasses. When the
speaker called time on him, Tom
reached a height of rapture that had
" been his before.
But his joy was only for a moment.
One of his democratic associates, wish
ing to do the polite, magnanimous
thing, got up and said:
