AS A JAPANESE SAW THE1I "C OMPETITION between dif-. ferent railroad companies has resuHed in duplication of service to the point of a loss all round in many districts." This Is the statement of a mem ber of the Japanese mission after an exhaustive study of the railroads of America. It ia a conclusion that is sound to the core. For example, there Is duplication in the wasted effort In which the Union Pacific carries traffic past Portland to Puget Sound In order to engage In competition with the northern, railroads at that point It is a needless and wasteful haul of 186 miles, a needless and wasteful expenditure of locomotive energy, a needless and wasteful expenditure of car power and man power. To haul freight the additional 189 miles when the traffio so carried could be put on the high sea from Portland at a cost of 5 cents a ton, Is throwing conservation ; to the winds, is casting stookhoMers' money Into the sea, is helping the roads on ward la their drift toward- the bank ruptcy about which they are con stantly shrieking. By his own words. If this observ ing Japanese commissioner had par ticularized, we can be sure that hi would have cited the situation in the Northwest as a "duplication of serv ice" that is nothing but waste, ex travagance and folly. The railroads try to respond that they go where the business is. Whs made the business? Who made mora ocean traffio at Puget Sound than, at Portland? . Mr. Hill, ; on completion ' of the Great Northern, built and put on his own line of steamers to the Orient. The Northern Pacific sent its own traffio man to tie Orient to go business for Its line after making a contract for Oriental 6teamshlp con nections. The Milwaukee arranged for. steamer connections to the Ori ent and had an established buslnes the moment its tracks reached Pugt Sound.
