COMTWAST IN EFFICIENCY OF STATE-OWNED AND PRIVATE
RAILROADS IN FRANCE. Students of iroremment ownershln will b« Interested in sn editorlsl In Tba r^ew Tork Telephone Review, wbicb pvfespnts some rather striking flipires reKordinK the or)eriition of goTernment owned rallroad.<t In F'ranfe. AlthouRb not expressed in the article, the paral¬ lel is clearly implied hetween the situ¬ ation of railroads under gorernnaent • ontrol and of other public nervice en- Terprlses under simllnr management.
"The Councilor of State of France hag Lssued the report on the operations of the state-owned railroads In that country during 1013. It is stated as a cause for congratulation that the loss In operation during the year was $10. 000.000. which is less than in 1012. The state-owned railroad lines in France are slwut one-fifth of the total mileage. Their freight rates are higher than thf privately owned lines, but their pas¬ senger rates nre lower. Out of every hundred dolfars of revenue received, tbe government spent from $83 to S8(i for operating expenses, the balance toe¬ ing Insufficient to meet the flxed charges of $26,000,000 a year. Out of every hundred dollars of revenue re¬ ceived the privately owned lines in Prance spent $59.60 for operating ex¬ penses, showing again tbat private en¬ terprise Is conducted more economical¬ ly than government nndertatiings.
"Both tbe government and private lines in France charged more tban Ave times as much per ton per mile for freight as tbe railroads of the United States. The figures are: In France, government lines nearly one and two- thirds cents, private lines nearly one and one-third centb; in the United States, less than a quarter of a cent."
The fact tbat it costs privately own¬ ed railroads only about two-thlrda of what it costs government owned rail¬ roads to operate In France is a star¬ tling fact, and the figures may cast some valuable light upon the railroad situation in tbis country.
Booming Buslnsas. Tbe relation of the present Buropean situation to the industrial and commer¬ cial life of the United States and the part to be played by the bu.slniws men of the country in mootlnf; the condi¬ tions which now e.xist is the theme of un interesting editorial In the Octobef issue of the New York Telephone Ue- view which says In part:
"While preparations for war always cause a feverish activity In business, there Inevitably follows a period of de¬ pression which Increases In Intensity wllh the proportions and o.vtent of the coiitlict. .Vs a con-siMjucnce of tho Euro¬ pean war, which is tho Kreatcst ever waRcd, our own country is bound to suffer.
"it Is pstiinntcd that Enirland is spt'iidin^ ,$,") a second, and that It IJ costiiif; the seven belliiforent nations $I.'_'(H).()()(),()0() a nii.nth.
"In .\nicrica we liiive l)oth ;in oppor¬ tunity and a rcspcMislliility in this wor.d crisis. Wo have tlie opportunity, in wliich, as the .N'ew York Tiiiirn says, 'tliere is uotliiiijJ: uniierliaiidcd, tlieie is iiDtliiiif,' uiiliiir or tiii^reijenius," to reach i ont 'to possess ourselves of a liifj^cr share of tlie world's trade:' we have tlie respoiisiliilily of our ecoiioiuic se¬ curity at home and tlie devisiim of new means to keep in motion the whecds of our industry and commerce."
Tile Iteview points out that the tele¬ phone offers 'lar>;e possibilities in fa¬ cilitating matters for the buslnesn man at this time of increa.sed pressure —whether It be the liiiaiiclal pressure or the pressure of added business. If it Is neces.s-ary to reduce expenses by reducing a sales-force the telei)houti will reach more customers In an hour than a salesman on the street could reach in a day; If the tradesmen com¬ plain of dull times, they can call up their customers and make sales by telephone. More business can be donfl and at less expense; automobiles can be bought and sold, houses can he rented, deals can l)e made, and a thou¬ sand other things can be done by tele¬ phone if only it is u.sed to the ex¬ tent of Its poasibllltles.
Business With Pleasure.
"The ugliest of trades have their moments of i)leasure. Now, If 1 were a pravedlgger, or even a hangman, there are some people I could work for with a great deal of enjoymeut," wrote Jerrolil.
"There used to be a saying,—-When you close your ofllce door nt night, leave business behind. Though not yet extinct, this saying gradually has given way to another,—Business is the most exacting mistress in the world. Another saying some of us had to write in our copy-books was,—Business lH.'fore pleasure. To-duy the .-(eutlment on the subject Is probably best cv- [iressed by saying,—Business with pleasure.
"Jerrold was a famous wit, but there's many a true tiling said in jest, und If the above quotation from his writings tells tbe truth, it is evident that business can be combined with pleasure in ail occupations."
With this humorous introduction tbe New York Telephone Review in an amusing and apt editorial calls atten¬ tion to tbe two leading articles of tbe issue, in wblcb are discussed aome of the peculiar telephone problems of Porto Rico and of tbe Great North Woods. The articles are written by two employees of a telepbone company who spent tbeir vacations in Porto Rico and tbe Adirondacks respective- iy, and ttuit tbeir business was enough of a pleasure to tbem to help make tbeir "play-time" interesting. Is amply proved by the two articles which make ery pleasant and profltabis reading not only to those Intrested in tbe tele¬ pbone boslDeas bat to tbe generml read¬ er M well.
