-jmember of Parliament and a journalist
fl question of Government ownership in the
current number of theCanadia'i Magazine
1 colonies and New Zealand nearly all the
llrailways as well as the telegraph lines
_ are owned by the State. In Germany the
‘same rule prevails, and the same in
no Government railways the Government
` owns and manages the telegraph system
as an essential part of the postal service.
Mr. Richa.rdson`s contention is that In
each of these cases State ownership hives
_ service at less cost than is obtained in
countries where the railways are ex-
‘ clusively owned by companies. 1
In the lirst place it is argued that Gov-
ernments can borrow money at a lower
rate of interest than companies and hence
, can construct railways more cheaply. The
£l3f),000,000 to build and equip, or $48,930
per miie. in the United series. where
the company system prevails exclusively,
the average cost per mile was $56,715, or
16 per cent more than in Australia. The
Australian railways already pay about 3
per cent on their cost, and will pay better,
as the country becomes more thickly set-
these roads carries interest at 32 per cent,
while the money borrowed to build Am'
erican roads pays an average rate of 5 per
cent. Here we have in the case 'of the
company roads a much higher first cost
and a much higher rate of interest which
the traffic must pay. ~ _ f
When he comes to the German and
Hungarian railways an even stronger
case is maile out. The cost of the State
railways in Germany has been 2.550 mil-
lions of dollars and the net proceeds in
1895 was 127 millions of dollars, equal to
tive per cent on the cost. The German
Government own 25,400 niiles of railway,
or 90 per cent of the total mileage. About '
20,(l)0 miles have been built within 20
years past. German railways have a. low
tariff rate which has powerfully aided the
industrial and commercial development of
the country. The ordinary 'freight charge
is $1.50 for carrying one ton of freight 100
