This brought up the discussion of
the railroad, ar.vl the consensus of
opinion was that the fight during cam
paigns -was on the wrong line. What
was really needed was better equip
ment, l etter .‘ervice, safer travel, bet
ter accommodations for the money
paid.
But the demand was not on the line
of -etter s rvice, but the demand was
made urgent, insistent, clamorous for
lower rates, cheaper travel. Perhaps
this method braught more votes, but
as a business proposition, and the good
of the public, it had been better to in
sist on a better equipment and better
service. Not to pay the road3 less
roorey, but get more- for your money.
This program would have stimu
lated roads to better service, and saved
the road« from the embarrassment in
which they find themselves by reason
of the loss of confidence on the part of
th" great mbney lenders.
