WHO AND WHEN? \ILROAD rates ought to come down. The R railroads must realize that they exist for the people instead of the people existing for the rail- road interview with That is the gist of a We Henry bord, in which, with characteristic force and point, Mr. Ford deals with the kind of rail road control that sees railroading in terms of fi- nance rather than of service It is this crowd which has run our rail- roads and ton them into the ground. ‘They have thought of the roads not as means of transportation but as so many securities for hem to play with, aud they have thought so miich of those securities that those secur tes bave finally become insecure.” [his is true. dt is true not alone of the great railroad systems upon which the country depends It is true of transit and other pubhe utilities in cities including the City of New York It is true of the coal mining industry now in the throes of another great strike Transit reorganization in this. ci finds its toughest obstacle in the question what can fairly be done with present consequences of past financial juggling On the one hand is the new determination to draw off all “water” and get down to clean, dry roots of actual service value. On the other hand are holders of transit securitic villing to ta the losses that somebody must take if the inher ited burdens of past manipulation and misman- agement are to be cleared away Is it the duty of the public to go on indefinitely putting props under securities which recklessness and incompetence have rendered insecure In the case of the coal mine owners a similar question arises Could the mine owners come into court and demonstrate that their wage-scales, their produc- tion policies, their practices of regulating supply and price are such as entitle them to the support of consumers and the money of consumers in maintaining these policies and practices exactly as they seek to maintain them Or have they, too, an inherited habit of letting service play second fiddle to finance on the theory that when the latter overreaches itsell the public is alwavs there to maké good * Railroads, city transit, mines—in all these great public utilities the same conflict is shaping for settlement Readjustment on a basis of real values is inevit- gible Readjustment based on real values means getting rid of false values.

IX.—BURIED CITIES OF GOLD SEEKEE* What was the imperious race thal dotted the territory in South Africa now known as Rhodesia with vast defenses of masonry, developed great gold mines, built up a civilization of astonishing solidity—and then vas~ ished in a night, leaving no recora that can solve the riddle of its ex= istence? @ The travelier through Rhodeste comes at frequent intervals upom the mute memorials of these nameless sold, Story-tellers have woven a network of romance about them. Archaeologists have ascribed their huge enterprise by turns to King Solomon, to Hiram, King of Tyre, and to the dusky Queen of Sheba seekers after ‘The prepondevating opinion is that these works, their defenses and the structures indicating religious wore ship that grew about them were of Phoenician origin Certain it is that the search for’ gold—followed by its discovery—le@ these prehistoric adventurers to the “Black Continent.” he assumption that they did dis< cover the gold they were seeking is indicated by the finds in the ruins, These include gold beads, weighing more than two ounces, gold chaim work, gold tacks in considerable quantities, pellets and bangles of gold, cakes of smelted gold, tools for working gold, as well as domesti¢ utensils and weapons of war, These immigrants—probably white, or at least brown, men—dug as if here would be no end to their digs ng. They built as if the work of ely hands would outlast time. Or, ther, they made the native popula~ on dig and build And, then, in some wild tumult ef menace and contusion, they vanished tween the rising and the setting of the sun--or of its going down an@ the dawn of the next day The Matabele tradition of this pres ristoric rush for gold and of its sud den ending ie conveyed by the nae tive reflection: “Our fathers told us in the past iges white men came here for gold, and that one night they were seized with panic and fled, never to return, What happened then will happen again and then we shall once more own our Jand.” What was the panic? To w! 6 shore did the stricken gold minere flee? Sixteen skeletons of these enter+ prising gold-seekers have been foun® in the soll of Rhodesia—and no more, The skeletons cannot tell the amaz= ng story of the great venture. But the weapons, the adornments and the treasure of gold that have been dis. covered at their sides tell the tale of their flight—and suggest the puz~ zing magnitude of the secret that as been lost to the world casi heh XXXVIIL—WHY IS A NAG? \ nag is a sick person.
