under the system which prevails he
was compelled to put up with in.

In Europe, where the railroads are
conducted by governments. which by
reason OF their close coordination
are much better fitted for the task
than our own, rates are high and
service is unsatisfactory. England
took over the control of her trans.
portation lines at the beginning of
the war The result of this state
management was that on January I.
1917 rates were doubled and many
trains which had been maintained
under private ownership for the con.
vepience of the public were discon.
