MONTANA BIG PROJECTS OF /I Wi 4 | TRANSPORTING CEMENT FOR A HYDRAULIC PROJECT IN AN UNDEVELOFED SECTION OF SERVICE Naturally, the re Wi an under- mining of railway credit and a rob- bing of the companies of their only source of funds for increasing their services The increase in the country’s popu- lation between 1908 and 1916 was a little less than 20 per cent. A corre- sponding increase in commercial and industrial capacity will require a pro- portionate increase of ton mileage per capita. To do this we must attract private rital to the railroad field. This we bave not been doing. Since 1800 the rate of return on railroad in- vestments has ranged from 835 per cent to 5.83 per cent. In 1917 it was 72 per cent. At the same time ms on investments in manu- factures averaged as high as 17.12 per cent fn 1900, not considering the un- | usnal returns yielded by war Indus- | tries during the last two years. Unless the zovernment'’s future ooli- FREIGHTING s THOUT RAILROADS-- CALIFORNIA toward railroads Is such as to in- sure fair regulations and just returns, which will be absolutely essential if new capital in sufilcient quantity is to be attracted, the development of our “reat resources in the west, northwest and southwest will be arrested and the retarding of such development will be a national economic disaster. One vital fact is apparent today above all othess—the scepter in the railroad world has passed out of the hands of the railroads’ executives and the bankers who financed them. The American people control the situation through their political representatives, and they will determine the whole course of the future, 0 class of people will excrcise so powerfal an influence in reaching this decision as the shippers. They must learn, if they have not learned al- ready, that the thing of most vital im- portance to them is getting their goods to market. The rates at which this service is rendered are tncidental. The long struggle of the shippers to hold trend of the times and the obvious ne« cessitles of the railroad situation bas worked the undoing of the shippers, as well as of the railroads. It is obvious that we should adopt a definite, comprehensive and adequate policy for developing our railroad ex tensions, a policy based on definite, de= termining factors. It seems very cer- tain that from the present plan of cor- ordinated, centralized operation, with its many savings and added efficiencies made possible by Government control, there will be no reversion to the old system of competitive private owner- ship and conflicting regulation. If not that, then what do we face? On every hand we hear the propheecy made that the present control of the railroads by the Government is but the first step toward Government own- ership, and that once unified under Government direction the railroads will never be “unscrambled.” But n no country in the world where Government ownership of rail- roads has been attempted has it been successfui, with the single exception of Prussia, where, under the arbitrary mandates of a military autocracy, some degree of efficiency and profit has been secured. FKurther, in no im- portant instance has the experience of our own Government in business oper- atlon or ownership of any form of pub- lic utilities been such as to warrant the conclusion that suchgactivity could be profitably extended. The privately owned railroads of the United States have the lowest freight rates, the lowest capitalization per mile, the greatest operating efficiency and pay the highest wages of any raii- roads in the world. If private ownership has fafled. hot$ when unreguiated and when over-rec ulated, and Government ownership gives no promise of success, what plan offers for meeting the situation? Various suggestions of a central Fed- eral corporation, regional holding com- panies, Government guarantees and plans calling for profit sharing with the Government above a fixed return have been frequently made. Some- where along this line of thought lies a rational solution. Tt is very certain that the old days of enforced compe- tition, anti-trust laws, anti-pooling laws, conflicting State regulation, wasteful competition, duplication of service, would not be permitted by & public alive to its own Interests. It seems equally certain that Gov- ernment ownership would not be per- mitted if the public were equally alive to its real interests. The hour has ar- rived for the suggestion of some plan which must be made ready for adop- tion as soon as possible, now that the crisis of war has passed. Somewhere within the meaning of the words “co- operation” and “partnership” lies the answer. The public interest in trans- portation is paramount and must be protected, but public Interest and pri- vate Interest need not be in conflict If intelligently regarded. Regional companies representing both private snd public capital under private operation with governmental participation in the management and earnings above a just guarantee would seem to assure the necessary extension of railroad facflities, In unity of in- terest and understanding progress to- wards the desired goal should be pos ! down rates in defiance of the economic sibley
