Any person who has full knowledge of the above condition will not dispute my assertion, nor that It fa the suddenly deprived of light, power and transportation; when France, with its government-owned railroads, face trikes that paralyse traffic, you can foresee the result here. More than that, there will be the waste of Inefficiency.

The government cannon run enterprises so well private corporations. AH experience provee It. It multiplies employes and swells expense. And it cannot get the ablest men. The New Haven bow pays Its president as much as the president of tbs United States Is paid.

Massachusetts' 1 love the state. But never in the west did I receive the sordid, crooked proposals that 1 have there. And they point their fingers at me! There is more indlgesttoa. physical and mental, la Boston than la any other city In America.

Boston eats endless dinners, gets radices attacks of dyspepsia and passes endless revolutions that rad in nothing. And I sometimes wish that Boston would stop trying to reform the rest of the country and turn her attention homeward. "Massachusetts could at any time have controlled the New Haven system, But Massachusetts stockholder gave New York their proxies They thought to make more money that way. How about Braudels I have no animosity toward him. He has fought me hard for his client.

But he haa fought la the open. When the government has assumed the monopoly, said the Interviewer, "and the people have the railroads, do yon suppose theyll give yon credit for building this New England monopoly and showing them the way 7" Maybe they win, aaid Mellen. I hope so. For I'm net so different from, other men. I like public approval, though I've been too busy to seek U.

railroads of the tnlted great monopoly owned controlled by the United Slates government. It it Inevitable. First the government will take over the telephone and telegraph systems That may occur la five or six years. After that the railroads It was an amazing statement, coming from a man of Mellen's experience and caliber former president of the New Haven and one ot the biggest "captain of Industry of a generation ol big railroad men. Why ts government ownership In-j evitable T' I asked.

Well, there la no longer any real monopoly In the old sense. Private monopolistic power which I admit 1 (liable to abuse haa been destroyed by the growing authority of the Inter statu commerce commission, with its grip on rates and service. That commission will possess greater and greater powers. Congrees will confer them nt the demand of the public Then, when the railroads can do nothing without federal permission, will be but a step. The public will demand government ownership and get it.

And, as a monopolist, do you favor that pecialtv. ciation. OUR UNPARALLELED, Typewriter Rental Offer Three Months HOTEL ARRIVALS. WALL STREET. For all the ancei New York.
