COMPETITION UNWIsE

"All will agree. I believe, that compe- tition in railroad rates is universe and practically impossible. Competition in rates cannot exist without rebates, secret rates and other kindred evils, that make it intolerable But competition in serv- ice and facilities always existed until the beginnig of federal control, and has really been responsible for the great ad- vance in the quality of railroad service in this country, particularly in recent years. It's elimination would mean com parative stagnation.
 Much is said of the waste of rail- road competition. Nearly everything thus characterized is for the benefit of the public. Undoubtedly there IS some actual waste. but the amount Of eN- penses saved by unification is not rei- atively great item Moreover l have no doubt that the rigid economies en- forced by keen supervision of details under private management as against the lax habits inherent in public man agement and the greater freedom and extravagance in methods of spending government money would much more than offset every year any possible saving from the elimination Of eN- penses incident to competition.
 What seems to me also serious objection to government ownership is the very large financial undertaking that would be involved.
 On December 31, 1916, the total out standing capitalization of all the rail- roads in the United States amounted to $20.679. .350.501. Of course it would not be necessary for the government to provide the entire amount of this huge investment at once, if the gov ernment should be willing to acquire the property subject to existing mort gages, but this would undoubtedly add enormously to the value of the bonds outstanding, since buying subject to the mortgages, the bonds would in eff feet be guaranteed by the govern ment :"

He was not sure that he had acted

paper SyndicNeO
When the barriers are broken down
and we see ourselves as we really are,
1t is sometimes humlliating spectacle.
This had happened to the masterful
man. For years Henry Travers had
regarded himself as the hard, cold,
analytical business man to whom the
sentimental side Of life did not appeal.
This morning in his private office he
was facing bare facts.
Arriving at his Office and crossing to
hang up his coat--a spot from which
corner Of the outer Office could be
glimpsed-he had seen sight that had
thrown down the barriers Of his self
deception and shown him an uncom-
promising truth. 1t was nothing but
triviallty, perhaps, but 1t was sufi-
cient to make clear to him more than
he wanted to know. .
Presently he rang the bell and his
private secretary stood before him. He
did not speak at first, but sat at his
desk moving the different objects from
place to place. At last he looked up.
"Miss Deane," he said, u wish to
speak with all restraint and Difference,
but must be frank. This morning, by
a mere coincidence, I happend to see
something take place between you and
our Mr.. Halliday on which only one
construction can be put-that you are
engaged to him. OF course, that is no
concern Of mine; but you must realize
that during once hours such q condi-
