Editorial Opinion
CANADA's STATE RAILROADS


From the New York Herald.
The former staustician of Can
adas Department Of Railways, J. L..
Payne, is quoted by an ottawa cor
respondent Of the Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger as saying that the Cana
dian Northern Railroad alone has
received to date enough money from
the government to have built ten
Canadian Pacifics MT Payne is also
authority for the statement that
since 1914 the Canadian Govern
ment has spent S763. .OOOO 900 on its
, railroads.
So far as reducing operating def
cits is concerned this enormous out
lay has had no effect whatever. on
the contrary. the deficits have grown
/ by leaps and bounds. In 1918 they
were s27,769,OO0; in 1919 tkey were
s47.993.OO and in 1920 they were
s7O,331. 600.
One of the reasons given for the
failure Of the government roads tC
make a better showing is because
as compared with privately owned
and operated lines they are heavil,
overmanned. A railroad job is Z
government job. and the politician
see to 1t that the jobs are passe'
out lavishly.

roads and the politicians wante
