a little sensitive in regard to 1t. You
are willing l should consult with you
in regard to this?'
"Of course | am at your service, Mr..
Santoine." Avery's voice was harsh
and dry.
The blind man was silent for an in
slant. He could feel the uneasiness
and anxiety Of the man across from
| him mounting swiftly, and he gave 1t
every opportunity TO increase. He
had told Eaton once that he did not
use "cat and mouse" methods he was
using them now because that was
the only way his purpose could be
achieved.

Gus emergency to which l am indebted

fectly convinced that the only way to

prosperity was to accuse, condemn

at that time. one Of these men-one
Of the most efficient but also. perhaps,
| the one personally most obnoxious or
unpopular - committed one Of his
gravest in~discretions. It concerned
rho priyate use of deposits In national
banks; 1t was a federal offense Of the
most patent and provable kind. He
was indicted. Considering the temper
of any possible Jury at that time, there
was absolutely no alternative but to
believe the man under indictment
must spend many succeeding years, II
not the rest Of his life. In the federal
penitentiary at Atlanta or Leaven-

The proposal for government owner
United States Is a menace to the ex-
listing forms of government. 1t Is sup
ported by those who would destroy
the courts and long-establlshed com
mercial relations. Radicals Of this
sort favor government ownership as
an entering wedge to be followed by
the naturalization Of all public utili'
ties and means OF production OF those
commodities which are essential TO the
public welfare, including the coal and
steel industries.
Success by them In establishing gov
eminent ownership and operation Of
railroads would inevitably result in de-
stroying our republican form Of gov
eminent, and ultimately result in de-
NAL OF all personal rights in private
property.
Without discussing a political or
economic result, attention is called to
the financial results only OF govern
ment ownership and operation Of rail-
roads in Italy and Canada, and the ex-
perience Of government operation in
the United States.
EXPERIENCE OF ITALY
In 1905 the Italian government took
over the ownership and operation Of
its railroads, which, in 1920, com
prised 9,747 miles. 1t has lost heavily,
and only occasionally made a small
profits The number Of employees has
increased from 154,S56 in 1915 to 216,-
075 in 1920, and they have become an
organized political machine, which, by
frequent strikes and continued oppo-
sition have made efficiency Of opera
ton impossible. Since Premier Mus
sollni assumed control Of the govern
ment the number Of employees has
been reduced by 10000 in an effort to
improve the conditions, but he is now
offering TO lease the roads to private
operators.
The deficit for 1920 amounted to
$i65,931, 943, or S17,205 per mile Of
road. The capital invested in these
railroads Is about 81 100000 600, and
Mussolini has no expectation Of earn
ing any interest on this investment,
although at 9 per cent 1t should yield
S112,000,000 annually. Disguised with
government ownership, the Italian gov
eminent has offered to turn over the
railroads to private enterprises. Under
the leases proposed by the premier the
operators will be entitled to earn Z
per cent profit. Excess Of profit above

EXPERIENCE OF The UNITED
STATES

The actual and complete results Of
the experience Of the United States
government in operating the railroads,
commencing January /, 1913, are not
fully known as yet, but the most con-
sentative and reliable statements we
have indicate that the loss to the gov
eminent will be above $1,000, 200,
and the number Of employees in
creased 292, 737. This result character
ICES this undertaking as one Of the
most unfortunate steps, from a finan-
cial point Of view, upon which our
government ever ventured. The eX-
p%erience of the United States has
proved cOncluslvely that the public In
terest is best secured by private own.

structive regulation can be secured

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

z per cent and not exceeding 10 per
cent will be divided between the
~lessees and the government, and after
the profit exceeds 10 per cent, iessees
must reduce passenger fares and
freight rates.
If the experience Of Italy in 1920 in
the operation Of her railroads were to
be repeated In America with b loss Of
$17,205 per mile Of road, there would
be an aggregate annual loss from our
100000 miles Of railway Of $4,426,5UO,-
600 and the number Of railway en-
ployees would approximate 5,720,0OO
or three times the present number.
EXPERIENCE OF CANADA
The Canadian government owns and
operates the Canadian national rail
ways, comprising 1888 miles OF rail
road. The expenses Of operation In
1921 exceeded the revenues by $l6,-
092,9O2 and in 1920 by $36,SI2,97O or
an average annual loss per mile Of
road for these two years Of $1,000. If
the experience Of Canada in 1920 and
1927 were TO be repeated in the United
States In the operation Of our rail-
roads with a loss Of $1,000 per mile OF
road, there would be an aggregate an
nual loss from our 100000 miles Of
railroad Of $39O,OOO,OOO, without any
consideration for the taxes now paid
by the railroads which amount to over
$30O,OOO,OO0 annually, indicating that
under these circumstances there would
be about $69O,OOO,OOO which it would
be necessary for the federal govern
ment to secure through taxation.

DOGS WEAPON HIS JAW.

The power of a dogs jaws is of the
greatest consideration when that dog
is used for running down and killing
some other animal that fights with its
teeth. A dog has little or no chance
against one of the larger felines or
the bigger bears. There is more power
in the smite of a lion, leopard, tiger
or bear than there is in the danger of
his teeth; that is to say, the lion and
the bear use their mighty forelegs and
cruel claws as their first line of Of
tense and defense. That is the rea-
son the dog bays the sharp-clawed
animal. and worries or uses his teeth
on such animals as foxes, coyotes,
wolves, jackals. etc. The bite of a
fox, coyote, and jackal has little ter
ror for single coursing dogs such as
grey hounds, deer-hounds, Russian
hounds. Afghan hounds and the grey
hounds of Persia. Arabia and Syria.
But all of these dogs are very careful
when they run up to full-grown Eu-
ropean or American timber wolf. The
strength of the VOLTS jaw is such that
it win break a domesticated dogs leg,
while the power of the jaw of the
hyena is said to be capable of crack
ing the leg bone of horse. Bearing in
mind the fighting powers and methods
of certain generally of the
predatory Kind. and a menace to the
flocks and birds, man-even primitive
man--set about breeding dogs that
would be of service to him. not only
as hunters, but as companions and
watch dogs.--Field and Stream.
