Governments have their origin in
the moral identity Of men.-Emersen.


When railroad presidents go be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and assert that advances in
freight rates to provide $1,0O0.ooo,-
600 additional revenue will not in
crease the cost Of living. even
though the rate of increase were to
be as high as Sc per cent. a good
many people feel an inclination to
shake their heads. But Daniel VIII
lard of the Baltimore and Ohio gave
his statement:
Nothing that l know Of would re-
duce the cost of living IS much as
the prompt and speedy transportation
of goods" and when it is pointed out
that the railroads are at present only
about IS per cent. eficien., being I'M
able for lack of funds TO purchase
equipment to give better service, the
first statement sounds a little more
plausible The railroad men assert
tlal tn4S Is llit ildI tcStiA5 e-A-N
for private management of trans
portation facilities and that events OF
the next few months will determine
whether government ownership of
railroads will come again-despite
popular opposition. They contend
that the main thing at present is to
esta blish a feeling of stability in the
minds of investors and that one chief
use of the billion asked for will be to
bolster up the falling market for rail-
road securities.
This feeling of stability must be
created not only in railroad securities
but in every other market. in indus
tries, in society and in government.
Imitation of everything. including
heads, has made the world dizzy and
it doesn't dare to stop for fear it will
find itself feeling sick. But if it goes
on and on it will ultimately get sicker
and sicker. and sometime will be
stopped by an outside force that will
be painful to say the least.
