The announcement that the gov- ernment will allow the railways a bil- lion of dol for the increase of their | efficiency marks the diffcrence between j the government as regulator and as operator. As regulator, the govern- ment told the railways haw railways ought to be operated. As operator, the government's way differs from the way of the railways only by the government’s use of methods which the regulators’ laws put out of the question for the railways. When the railways asked for the funds which the government now allows them, the regulators repeatedly told the railways that they should first increase their economies and cfficiency. As operator, the government does both, but only by methods for which the rallways were prosecuted. They are combining and pooling and ccasing to compete most heinously The result is satisfactory to all who think that the service of the railways is more important than the question either of rates or profits. The billion dollars now made available to the rail- ways merely enables them to do what ! they were stopped from doing hecause the emphasis of Tegulation was placed ubon the reduction of rates and prof- warfare is the only branch of war- fare in which anything of the old spirit of chivalry has persisted.
