was the opinion expressed by W. M.
Acworth, England'» leading authority
on railways, before the Newlanda Joint
committee on Interstate commerce at
a special session held hern to enable
the committee to hear hta views before
his departure for London. Two steps
are necessary, according to Mr. Ac-
worth. to avert this crisis and to solve
the threatening railroad problem con
fronting the country.
The first la to allow the railroada to
charge freight rates sufficient to meet
the great advance In operating ex
penses which la taking place and to
enable them to command the credit
necessary to provide the extensions
and Improvements needed to meet the
growing demands of business The sec
ond Is to do away with the multiple

that now hamper railway operation

Th<> facta show that government in
tnrforence has meant running the rail-
rays not for the benefit of the people
at large, but to satisfy local and »to-
tlonal and even personal Interests.”
Prussia, Mr. Acworth said, was tho
best example of an efficient govern
ment railway system, and he pointed
out that military considerations wers
treated as of paramount Importance In
the Prussian railway system. While
American freight rates had been re
duced nearly 40 per cent In thirty
years, ratos in Prussia wore nearly as
high as at tho beginning of the period.
While the charge for moving a ton of
freight ony mile In the United States
was a trifle over three quarters of a
cent, tho rate In Prussia was 1.41
esnts.
As Illustrating the difference In rates
between government and private mails
Mr Acworth compared the railways
of New South Wales, Australia, with
those of Texas. While the amount of
traffic to each mile of line was about
the same In both cases, he pointed out.
the Texas railway» performed for the
public four times as much servic« as
the government owned road» of New
South Wale»
The charge In Texas
for hauling a ton of freight one mile
was less than 1 cent, while in the Aus
trallan state It was well over 2 cents
"American railway» lead th# world.”
said Mr. Acworth. "Nowadays when
men In any other part of the world
want to know how to run a railway
they come to the United State» and
study your railways here. The Amer
ican railways are entirely the result
at private enterprise, and I think they
go a long way tov. ard proving the case
against government ownership."
