Three or Four Railroads.

The ideal national transportation
machine as to economics, finances,
responsible control and modern
standards would not be score Of
great railroads any more than a
couple of hundred. good, bad and in
different. 1t would be a single sys-
TEN. But II so vast and overshadow-
ing railroad unit under private
control and management is out Of the
Question-and there seem practical
reasons why it is out of the question
then the logical alternative is not
nineteen systems, it is not more
than four or five.
With nineteen systems there still
would have to be several that would
remain half starved. The very es-
sence of the consolidation principle
is to let those roads that put fat on
their ribs in their own rich grazing
pastures support those whose ribs
are bare for all the sustenance they
can gather in their barren fields.
To bring about such a distribution
of the fat and the lean that there
need be no pauper railroads and no
always struggling systems the four
or five grand divisions of national
transportation must be created by
virtually tearing to pieces the major
ity of the weak systems in existence
to-day. They must be re-collected into
the few groups, moreover, with a
view not merely to the strong carry
ing the weak but to the normal flow
Of traffic in the national territorial
divisions and subdivisions of the
country.
This, it will be said, would pre-
vent competition. In the old sense,
yes. But the day Of unrestrained
railroad competition ended on the
day the power of rate making was
vested in the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Our railroads will never again en-
Joy the privilege of independent rate
making. Nor do they need it in
view Of the income provisions OF the
transportation act OF 1920, II those
provisions are perfected and adhered
to. What the railroads do need is
a plan Of consolidation that will do
away with the hundreds of petty
railroad problems and the thousands
of cases of inefliciency and unneces-
sary and wasteful competition. and
at the same time erect limited
number ola very few-strong sys-
TENS with enough possibilities for
initiative to enlist the thought and
energy and engage the imagination
of men of the old type Of pioneer
railroad builders like the Hills, the
vanderbilts and the Harrimans.
For the rest they will have to rely
on the natural rivalries of the human
race. There is and always will be an
inextinguishable competition be-
tween man and man. 1t is the in
stinctive impulse of the boy to climb
higher in the apple tree than any
other boy, of the runner to outstrip
his rival in the race. of everybody
that is healthy, normal and wide
awake to want to give somebody else
tussle for the lead in whatever they
are doing together.
There will continue to be that sort
of competition among four or five
railroad systems or among the per.
sonnet of the various parts Of any
one system. 1t is about all that
there can be under two dozen sys-
TENS or half a dozen.

Samples of rabbit leather recently

have been examined and tested by the
United States bureau Of standards,
with n view TO determining the utiliza'
bility of such skins for shoe uppers or

The leather was found TO have only
about one fourth the strength OF calf
skin and to tear rather easily. II has a
great advantage in point OF cheapness
and might perhaps serve for uppers OF
fancy shoes that are not expected to
stand mHch wear. The experts are OF
the opinion that II could be used to
advantage for Innings and novelties.
