THE interesting thing to some people
i about the illustration above, an
imaginary composition, The audience
Chamber, will be the fact that the pat
tern in the curtains is derived from the
fourth dimension. Yesi Claude Bragdon
in his new book, architecture and Democ-
rGey, shows how. First, you take a six
teen hedroid, which is to the people of
Fourth Dimensonia what an eight sided
object Of regular surfaces is to US. You
make drawing of this sixteen hedroid on
paper-what is called the tilted" view.
The rest is easy, for the drawing imme-
diately suggests such pattern as the
curtains show.
This is only an item in Mr.. Bragdon's
chapter on The Fourth Dimension In
The sun., 1918-12-01

which he shows how mathematics can be
employed to breed ideas for ornamental
ton. And that, In turn, Is only one sub
jet in Architecture and Democracy. The
other things he discusses are architecture
before, during and after the war; Louis
Sullivan, color and ceramics and color as
a possible art like music; symbols and
sacraments and self-education. An of his
writing is extremely provocative and most
Of it is interesting and not too intricate
for the general reader. Some of it is
sloppy with the sloppiness of the esthete,

architecture more than any one else.

These lines are carefully developed
in a clear, dramatic realism. But
the climax oil the whole matter

story appears-when through a
gradual and well sustained ap-
proach this business dynasty ceases
to be such and opens up real OPP
portunities to the laborer himself.

would say that it had abandoned an

The highest praise that can be
given to Mr.. Webster-and it is
Just praise-is that he has In An
American Family given his readers

has succeeded in presenting an

romdings such as are often actually

Samuel O. Dunn on
Railway Regulation
BY w. B. MCCORMICK.

HNE Of the chief impressions left on
" the reader of Samuel o. Dunn's
Regulation Of Railways, which includes a
discussion Of Government Ownership rs.
Government CONTROL is that while Mr..
Dunn most emphatically does not approve
Of Government ownership Of our railways
he can write on the subject with cool
impartiality of spirit that is not alone
wholly admirable but singular in discus
sions of this kind.
Indeed the amount of heat engendered
IN most arguments on this subject if ap-
piled as motive power on our railway sys-
tens would apparently solve their coal
question "for the period of the existing
emergency" Much of the matter in the
volume has appeared in various magazines
between February, 1915, and January Of
the present year; but most of this has been
rewritten and amplifed so that the work
has in no sense the effect Of repetition.
Mr.. Dunn's method of presentation of
his subject Is TO make an inquiry as to
what is the matter with railway regulation
in the United States; detailing the func-
tons OF Government in relation to rail
ways; making a survey Of the. various
forms Of regulation; discussing some po-
htical phases of Government ownership;
exposing the failure Of Government own
ership in Canada; and summing up his
conclusions in two chapters, in the final
one of which he asks the question: care
regional railroad companies the solution"
of the whole problem3 For the regional
railroad is an institution of the future
in the transportation world, in all prob
ability; and it is TO this form of railroad
holding company that Mr.. Dunn pins his
faith.
This railway authority is of the opinion
that legislation Of the future should en-
courage the natural tendencies which the
Legislation Of the past has discouraged.
The good coming from past legislation is
that it has abolished "the grosser forms
Of unfair discrimination formerly prac-
tised by the railroads themselves, but it
has substituted for them many unfair dis
ordinations in rates; it has almost
stopped the manipulation of railway
finances by insiders but under it we have
seen the percentages Of net operating in
come earned seriously decline for several
years.; and under it I'VE have seen more
miles Of railways in the hands of receivers
than ever before and Investment in rail-
way securities grow less attractive, as
compared with investment in industrial,
and also municipal and other Government
The sun., 1918-12-01

Securities And one Of the chief causes
for all tins. lie In;liniains Is that the re.yu-
lation of the railways by the Government
has not been entrusted 10 men trained in
railway management but largely TO
lawyers.
As the best solution for all these de-
fectS Mr. Dunn outlines plan mot mere
ly TO improve regulation but to secure
needed reorganization Of the railroads
under private ownership" in the form of
regional railroad holding companies.
This would include Federal incorporation
Of railroad holding company for each of
the large sections Of the country, each
company to be authorized to acquire all
the stock Of the existing railways within
its territory, either at an agreed valuation
or by condemnation. All stock of each
holding company should be issued under
the supervision Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission or some other Federal
agency, and the Government should guar
antee return upon it sufficient to make it
marketable at par say 5 per cent.
Each holding company should have not
more than twelve directors, at least two
thirds Of whom should be elected by its
stockholders, and part appointed by the
President of the United States, by the In
terstate Commerce Commission, or by
some other administrative officer or board
of the Federal Government. There
should be organized an equipment COM
pany to serve as central agency for the
acquisition and distribution of box cars
and SO far as desirable of other kinds of
equipment for all the regional companies.
The capital for this company should be
furnished and its stock held by the re-
gional companies in proportion to their
needs for the kinds of equipment provided
by the equipment company. The organi-
cation required for distributing equipment
to the lines of the regional companies in
proportion to their needs should be pro-
vided by the equipment company. A re-
gional advisory council, such as now OBJ
tains in some European countries, is also
a part of his plan. In conclusion he
writes:
mo plan Of this kind can hope to win
the approval Of either the doctrinaire ad-
vocates Of unrestricted competition or the
doctrinaire advocates of Government mo-
nopoly; but some such plan, if skilfully
worked out in its details, ought to be able
to win the support Of that large majority
of intelligent and thoughtful students Of
the railroad problem who are equally
alive to the defects of our present system
Of railroad regulation and management
and to the overwhelming economic and po-
litieal reasons for avoiding Government
ownership and management"

Protects the Deer.

A kindly act on the part of a rail way was the order of the Southern Pacific to its enginemen that when deer is seen on the track at night the headlight shall be extinguished for moment. More than dozen deer were killed by trains in California in Jan uary. It has been discovered that when the headlight is e1tinguished, if only for a second, the animals are able to jump to safety. Otherwise the glare of the headlight dazes them so that they are run down before they can es- cape.-OutlOok.
