 The tremendous increase of railroad rates authorized by the interstate com rison. in a formal statement seems 60 cc mplete the cycle of government man agement of the railroad industry. It was recessary to carry the scale of expenses set up by the railroad administration, but it must cause great concern as to it's economic consequences.
 Tt now remains for private manage rlent to resume the practice Of compen- tive efficiency and self-rel!ant initiative which distinguished the American rail- roads during so many years, and 10 lus- tify the preference of the American peo- pie for that form of administration by making possible not only the success of individual companies and the prosperity of their loyal employees, but constant and prosressiye reduction of rates ac- connpanied by an enlargement of service to the public, such as may be traced through the old-fashioned railroad sta tistics No one can expect this to bs accomplished over night, considering the practical conditions, but a start can he made at once.
