May 14.?That the Unit- I ed States Is Tare to face with a.scrlous j crista In Its commercial affairs. due to : the conditions by which Its trans|>orta tlon system Is confronted, wua the oplu j Ion expressed by W M. Ac worth. Kng i land's leading authority on railways, before the Newlands Joint committee, on Interstate commerce at a *|>ecla) session held here to enable the com J inlttee to bear hla views before his do 1 parture for Lopdon this week. Two j steps are necessary. accordlug to Mr Ac worth, to avert this crisis and to solve the threatening; railroad problem confronting tho country Tho tlrat la to allow the railroads to ! charge freight rates suftlcleut to meet the great advance in operating ex ? pen sea which is taking place and to j enable them to command the credit necessary to provide the extensions and Improvement# needed to meet the growing demands of huslnese. The sec ond is to do away with the multiple , and conflicting systems of regulation j that now hain|>er ruilway o|>eratloii j and to provide one centralized reguia tory agency with such local suIkIIvI- : alons as may be necessary. Highar Rate* a Publio Necessity. Mr. Acworth'a vlewa on tho transpor tation situation In the United States I were expressed In answer to questions by members of the commute?, who j asked him to apply his knowledge of railway conditions throughout the world and of the experience of other countries with government ownership to the present problem before the Unit ed States. "Tho fundaiuentaal factor In the sit nation la very simple." said Mf. Ac worth. "It lies in the fact that you cannot get three-quarters of a cent's worth of work done for less thaa three quarters of a cent, no matter whether the agency |>erfornilng it Is a govern ment or private enterprise. Freight rates must advance when the cost of performing the service advances as It Is doing nt present. Just as the price of bread or jiw.it or any other Com uiodit\ incre.'Mcs with increased cost of pi-od'i'tI'm." In answer to a question Mr Ac wort li said that ho thought American ? freight rates had l?een at much too low , a lex for several years past, that they ( had reached this low point during the period of cutthroat competition among > I he i>< d - and had since been held there i>.? regulating Inxlles. Unless re- i lier were afforded to the carriers very promptly, he said, the result would! he a tremendous loss to the people of the whole count r.v through lusufflcien* . ev of truns|?ortatlon facilities Wiaknesi of Oovirnment Ownership. On the subject of government owner- ; ship 6f railways Mr. Acworth said: "It is iniiH?sslhle to obtain satlsfae- j tory results on government railways , in a democratic state unless the man- ? ngemcnt is cut loose from direct pollt* Ical control. Neither Australia nor any other country with a democrat ic constitution?perhaps an exception ought to be made of Switzerland?has succeeded in maintaining a ix?rmanent severance. In France, In Belgium, In Italy, parliamentary interference never has b"cn abandoned for a moment. The facts show that government in terference has meant running the rail ways not for the benefit of the |>eople at large, but to satisfy local and sec tional and even personal Interests.' Prussia. Mr Acworth said. wa?r tbe best example of an efficient govern ment railway system, and he j>olnted nut (hat military considerations were treated as of paramount lm[>ortance In the Prussian railway system. While American freight rates had l>een re duced nearly 4<> [>er cent In thirty years rates in Prussia were nearly as high as at the beginning of the period While the charge for moving a ton of freight one mile in tho United States was a tritle over three-quarters of a cent the r:ite in Prussia was 1.41 cen i s As Illustrating the difference in rates between government ar?d private roads Mr. Acworth compared the railways of New South Wales. Australia, with those or Texas Whilo the amount of traffic to each mile of line w?8 about the same In both cases, he jn?Inted out, the Texas railways |>erforrued for the public four times as much service as the government owned roads of New South Wales. The charge in Texas for hauling a ton of freight one mile was le^s than 1 rent, while In the Ana traltan state it was well over 2 cents. "American railways lead the world." *aid Mr Acworth. "Nowadays when men in any other jmrt of the world want to know how to run a railway they come to the United States and study your railways here. The Araer lean railways are entirely the result of private enterprise, and I think they go a long way toward proving the case against government ownership." THK sw KJKT KOT^TO u ..
