RELIEF AND PREVENTION.

From the Outlook.
Before the United States entered the
war America spent many millions Of
dollars to relieve suffering in Belgium
and elsewhere. 1t is spending billions
now in Europe TO prevent suffering by
removing its cause Nothing is finer
than to feed the hungry and bind up
the wounds Of those abused by sayag-
cry; we are proud Of all that our peo-
pie have done are doing; and will con-
tinue TO do in this direction. But tho
way to stop savagery is to stop tho
savage.
A man died in New York the other
day who saw this clearly. One night,
TO little group Of acquaintance at a
restaurant table. he said in effect u

A WORLD WIDE 7ENL ENCY
TOWARD HIGHER RATES

and in July, 1914, were raised twice
in 1916. In Switzerland passenger fares
have been increased and now prepare
lions are being made to follow the same
course as to freight rates. In Russia
rates have been undergoing Increases
since 1902 and since the war the gov
eminent has placed taxes on transpOr-
tation in such a form as practically to
increase the rates. In Holland passen-
ger rates were increased in 1909 and
freight rates in 1916. in Norway rates
were increased in 1913, 1915 and 1915
and a similar plan has been followed
during the last three years. In Austria
Hungary freight rates were recently IN
creased 30 per cent. and even In Prus-
sia the minister of railways has sub
miited to the Railway Council q pro-
pOsal for a 10 per cent. increase in
passenger fares. Canada, Argentina and
Denmark are also mentioned as coun-
tries where rates have been advanced
10 offset the increases in expenses The
commissioners Of the New South Wales
government railways in their report for
the year ended June 30, 1917, ask for a
10 per cent. advance in all freight and
passenger rates in addition 10 those al
ready made within the last two years.
The efforts of the railroads Of the
United States to increase their revenues
by a higher scale Of charges cannot be
ascribed solely TO an inordinate greed
for profits They are subject TO a con-
dition which is world wide in its effect
and they are seeking to meet that con-
dition in the only way which is open
to them, that Of seeking permission to
do what other kinds Of business have
done requiring any permission
Evening journal., 1917-12-12

THE suggestions by Clifford ThoIne
and others that an increase Of freight
rates might be- avoided by having the
government take over the railroads are
rather amusing in view Of the increases
in rates which have been put into ef-
feet or are under serious consideration
In other countries where the govern
ments either own the railroads or have
practically taken them over during the
war, says the Railway Age Gazette,
commenting editorially on an article
from the Economists Francois, which
describes the plan recently proposed by
tho French government itself for a
general - per cent increase in rates
on the larger systems Of France TO
meet the deficits, for which the govern
ment has assumed responsibility, caused
by increa In wages, prices Of fuel
and materials and expenses Of all
kinds.
"The article shows" the Railway Age
Gazette says, that these unprecedented
rises in operatlns costs are by no means
confined TO the United States or even to
the United States and France but that
they are the result Of conditions in eff
feet in all parts Of the world. It also
shows that in every case the remedy
for this condition proposed or adopted
has been the same. In many countries
increases i'm rates were found to be
necessary even before the war and
since then, the article says, the ter
rlble conflict which has overturned
economic life not only in the belliger-
ent countries. but in the neutral as
Well,' has forced an increase in rates
i'm nearly every country which has any
considerable railway system.
