A youd many people who have given tho ‘subject conskleration are inel{ned lo think with Mr. Mink that uniformity In charges and consisteyiey in management are essential’ to proper and mutually benell- cia! relations between the railroads and the pudlie; but the long and ugly fight between the principal corporations, following the most successful effort ever made ab voluns tary combination, makes Jt pretty evident that the railrowds must bo subjected to tho authority of Government and tho disetpline of law in order to assure the maintenance of a nniform poliey that shill be fale to both the public and the stockhalders.
