The Great Issue.

Was Darwin wrong? Was Oar
win right? And was the ape our
brother? Now valiant men go forth
to fghf>on one side or the other.
Great men who might be framing
schemes to benefit their neighbors,
devoted are to idle themes, to vain
and useless labors. If they would go
and preach on thrift (since they
must talk or perish), they might
their fellowmen uplift. their throb-
bing words we'd cherish. This coun-
try's curse is surely waste. and here
the spendthrift RACES, and our be-
setting sin is haste in blowing i'll
our wages The scheme of learning
how to save deserves our high de-
votion. but orators, severe and
grave. pass up SO sane a notion. The
spieler, with his words of fire,
emerges from his villa, and thunders
loudly that his sire was not aNcheap
gorilla. And he might thunder for a
year. and keep the welkin reeling,
nor would useful fact appear in
all his frenzied spelling. 1t cuts no
ice from whence we came, from
what we are descended: our duty is
to play the game and make our
record splendid. And if we keep our
girls supplied with hats and shoes
and ribbons, it should not jar our
wholesome pride to know our sires
were gibbons.

The proposal for government owner
ship and operation Of railroads in the
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 established 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 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
profit. The number Of employees has
increased from 1886 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
solini 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
$165, 931 ,943, or $17,2O5 per mile Of
road. The capital invested in these
railroads is about $1,7OO,000O00, and
Mussolini has no expectation of earn
ing any interest on this investment,
although at 6 per cent it should yield
$112,000,00O 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

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

u 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, 1essees
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 a loss of
ST. POS per mile of road, there would
be an aggregate annual loss from our
100000 miles of railway of S4,426, $780,
600 and the number of railway en-
ployees would approximate $4,000
or three times the present number.
EXPERIENCE or CANADA
The Canadian government owns and
operates the Canadian national rail.
ways, comprising II, 1888 miles of rail-
road. The expenses Of operation in
1921, exceeded the revenues by $780,
O92,902 and in 1920 BY $36,842,970 or
an average annual loss per mile of
road for these two years of 1,500. If
the experience of Canada in 1920 and
1921 were to be repeated in the United
States in the operation Of our rail-
roads with a loss Of 81, 800 per mile Of
road, there would be an aggregate an
nual loss from our 100000 miles Of
railroad of $390OOO,00O, without any
consideration for the taxes now paid
by the railroads which amount to over
$500, 100000 annually, indicating that
under these circumstances there would
be about $69O,0OO,OOO which It would
be necessary for the federal govern
ment to secure through taxation.
EXPERIENCE OF THE UNITED
STATES
The actual and complete results Of
the experience Of the United States
government in operating the railroads,
commencing January 1, 1913, are not
fully known as yet, but the most con-
servative and reliable statements we
have indicate that the loss to the gov
eminent will be above 81, 100000 900,
and the number Of employees in
creased 292,737 This result character
ICES this undertaking as one of the
most unfortunate steps, from fnan-
cial point of view, upon which our
government ever ventured. The ex-
perience of the United States has
proved conclusively that the public In
terest is best secured by private own
ership and operation provided con-
structive. regulation can be secured
