WITHOUT having proved much fol
- or against government ownership
the United States railroad admins
tration has handled the roads back to
their owners. The government prob
ably Is glad to get rid Of them and the
owners undoubtedly are glad to get
them back. The public's feeling
seems to be that there was nothing
else to be done, and that when moth
ing else can be done that which is done
ought to be regarded as being for the
best. The roads were taken over by
the government as q war measure.
They were operated at loss. In
money, that is. Actually the value Of
their service as war agency must
be considered in the balance, and so
consired it must be conceded the ques-
tion Of revenue Is not entitled to first
place. In war cannons are fired at q
loss, too, = total loss in money but
we do not reckon war costs in that
way. The railroad deficit therefore
does not properly come into the bal
ance.
