is only "a per cent Of the 244.377
miles to be valued.
Calling attention to the fact the
people pay the BILL" no matter
whether the money is expNnded out
Of the Government funds or out of
those Of the railroads, the Railway
Review criticizes the valuations made

1t is. indeed, matter of regret that
the valua ton Of the railroads has not
moved forward faster. But il would
be Of considerable interest TO know
how readily the roads themselves
have co-operated in this work: roads
which violently opposed the. valua tion

proposed.
Critics OF the valuation Of the rail
roads lose sight sometimes OF the rea.

that the rates charged by railroads

with the valuations 50 found, the

A New Kind of Strike.

There is new kind Of strike
The street railway company OF Port
Arthur. Tex. refused to move a car
from it's barns last Friday night. and
il still sticks to it's refusal. Its com
plaint is against the bus lines that the
city authorities have permitted 70
compete with the regular street car
lines, operating under franchise.
The action taken by the street rail
way company of Port Arthur throws
into relief the greatest question that
disturbs urban transportation today.
Street railways are almost always
given a monopoly in a city. Econo-
nlists recognize such a monopoly as
natural just as II recognizes the
natural monopolies of gas and cleo
trio companies and telephone COM
panies. Competition means 'duplica-
ton and waste. 1t Is far better for
community to grant monopoly and
then regulate that monopoly than to
permit the waste of competition.
Today the trackless and wireless
Of the practice Of natural monopoly.
Street railway companies that made
their contracts with cities on the basis
OF monopoly find themselves subject
to severe competition. The condi-
ton cannot last. If cities are to re-
ceive street railway service, they must
recognize the principle of natural
monopoly. If bus service Is partially
to suppla mt street railway service. the
street railway companies must be per-
n1itted a monopoly of bus service. In
the long run 1t mea ms cheaper and bet
ter transportation both by bus and by
street car. The experience of cities
with competing street car lines proved
