overhead cost. And yet the postmaster
general no sooner gets his bearings in his
new business than he proceeds to add 20
cents to every dollar the public pays for its
telegraph service.
If this is inevitable under public c2n-
troll, and if, as the Postal officials maintain,
it can be avoided under private control,
by all means let the Postal and Western
Union companies have their lines again,
subject to whatever conditions are neces-
sary for the preservation of public rights.

Telegraph Rates.

II II is hard to convince the public that a
20 per cent raise in telegraph rates is
u justified, particularly when one of the
two big telegraph companies, the Postal
system, maintains that there is no need
whatever Of increasing the rates.
1t may be that such an increase is neces-
sary under public control.
The government has not been altogether
fortunate in it's recent handling of big pub
lie utilities formerly in private hands. Its
railroad control, while broadly effective
for certain war purposes, has proved ex-
pensive beyond all anticipation and dis
couraged many who were formerly in favor
OF federal ownership. The taking over of
the telegraph lines, at time when the war
emergency really existed no longer, bids
fair to prove still more disappointing.
Here is what many economists have
called natural monopoly" which the
oretically could be run by government
very appropriately along with its rostal
system, as is done in various other c,:.n-
tries. There is no apparent reason in the
nature of things why telegraph service
should cost more in public hands than in
private hands. If anything, one would ex-
pect it to cost less, because of the elimina-
ton Of competitive expense and smaller

Private Ownership for Ships.

m RESUMABLY the president agrees
~ with the plan announced by Chair
u man Hurley Of the shipping board
for turning the governments big merchant
marine fleet over to private ownership.
There is no doubt that most people agree
that they cannot see the practical bearings
of the present shipping situation.
1t was well for the government to under
take the building and buying of merchant
fleet as war measure, and well for the
with return of normal conditions it be-
comes apparent that the ocean shipping in
dustry is not well adapted to the slow,
bureaucratic processes of government con-
troll It is, Of all great branches of the
transportation business, the one which
most requires personal initiative, quick de-
cision and the stimulus of private enter
prise. Without these factors it would be
difficult to compete with foreign shipping.
From the mere standpoint of government
finance it is probably better to sell the
ships now at loss rather than face
steady loss hereafter through their public
operation.
BY disposing Of the ships at market
price the government will enable the pur-
chasers to compete with foreign shipping
on somewhere near equal terms. This is
particularly true of British shipping
which, of course, is the chief competitor
because the British government, like
ours, now requires that it's ships be man
ned with native crews protected by fair
labor standards.
The plan intends no alienation of these
vessels produced at so much expense and
effort. They will be sold only to Ameri-
cans, and will fly only the Stars and
Stripes. They will carry government in
surance and be subject to a large measure
OF government supervision, especially
with regard to rates. The terms of sale will
be easy, giving the purchasers perhaps 10I
years to complete payment.
Such disposition of the ships should en-
able the United States to develop what il
hats so long desired, great merchant
marine which will provide a big field for
American enterprise and adventure. bring
us into closer touch with all the world and
help powerfully in the growth of American
industry and commerce.
