SETTER LOOK IT OVER

Probably most Of those who are
opposed, to yovernment ownership OF
railroads are favorable to some sort
of government regulation, notwith-
standing the difficulties encountered
to have this practical or beneficial.
But how many OF them are aware Of
purpose, on the part of the schem-
ers for government ownership. TO
make government regulation imprac-
teal and consequently injurious?
Editor Dunn OF the Railway Age
In recent address declared that
those advocating certain policies of
regulation are doing so ito make 1t
Impossible foe the railways to be
successfully managed under private
ownership and thereby to force them
into government ownership
This Is plausible and some OF the
proof may be found In the character
ct those who are supporting these
policies. One Of the efforts II said
20 be that to destroy the railroad
labor board by means OF the Howell
Barley bill. Another effort referred
TO by MIR. Dunn IL that to lower
freight rates and keep up wages 20
az to prevent railroads FROM making
any prcnts. Criticism Of the vafuA-
ton made OF railroad property con-
tinues, but as yet no evidence has
been advanced to disprove its essen
tial fairness. We hest be cautious
about the regulatory legislation. II
easily could be made . medium for
forcing stockholders to sacrifice their
interests, and the government to
sake over improbable property and
nnwise management.
