conceive of a president recommendiii": to congress that our
railroad systems be consiilidati'd tinder four or . five g
Ofgiiiiizations. Yet wo are gradually coming to believe
(hat much wasle could bo :;to.pod by such a plan, that
duplication of service could bo eliminated, that overhead
expenses would be reduced, that lates, could bo modified,
that labor and common people would be lienrl'ited far nii'no

more and more "sold" on the idea that larjve capital, prop-!
erly suicrvised, can serve mine effieientlv than the same'
amount split up into many small units handicapped by J
small volume and excessive overhead. We may eventually j

the progressive, and the idealist must seek a new anlo '
nid a new appeal if ho is to create a follow-in;; that will
