Nationalized Roads a Failure
Some of the results of nationalization as applied to public ser-
vices are made apparent in the course of an article on the Swiss
railways .contributed to the Journal de Geneve by a Swiss engineer.
Switzezrland lias had nationalized railways for the past twenty
years and the writer of the article subjects the whole system to un-
.'p.iring condemnation.
lie points out that it has proved a huge financial failure and
luit for state protection would long ago have gone into liquidation.
The department is overburdened with officials and mere placemen.
For a total mileage of only 2700 kilometers there are twenty
general and departmental managers and six boards of direction with
about l."0 members in the total. Tins state of affairs is contrasted
to the French example of the J'. L. M. with its mileage of 10000
kilometers which is under the direction of only one general mana-
ger. Moreover the actual administration itself is a miracle of bung-
ling incompetency and the army of railway men has become such a
power in the state that in order to meet their demands rates and
charges have constantly . to be raised. These fall heavily on the
economic life of the country affecting equally both home and ex-
port trade. No mere palliative can remedy the financial"disaster
which must inevitably overtake the Federal railways .before very
long.
No Cut in Steel Prices.
Announcement of the decision of the II. S. Steel Corporation
that it will make no change in the basic prices of its products next
year is worthy of more than passing attention at the hands of stu-
dents of the business situation.
Judge E. II. Gary chairman of the board of directors of the
corporation issued a statement last week in which he said there
had been no reduction in the cost of producing steel and that no cut
in the wages of workers was contemplated under existing condi-
tions. On the contrary he said there had been some increase in
manufacturing costs but with a view to aiding in there-adjustment
of business which is under way' the corporation would recommend
to all its subsidiaries the maintenance of the prices that were agreed
upon by representatives of the government and steel concerns early
this year.
As is well known the steel industry is of such magnitude that
if is regarded ns one of the barometers of business. The policy of
the corporation which controls a large part of the steel output is
bound to have a tremendous influence upon other "lines of business.
AVhile conditions vary widely in the different industries in the face
of the announced policy of the big steel coneen it would appear
that hopes for the early return of anything approaching pre-war
prices are doomed to disappointment.
Fall in Food Prices.
According to statistics made publie by the U. S. Department of
Labor retail food prices throughout the country decreased three per
: cent during the month of October. Prices of twenty-two articles
were included in the study made by experts of the department.
The greatest reductions were in prices of sugarand potatoes the
cost of the former being cut 24 per cent and the latter 1.1 per cent.
A decrase of 14 per cent in the price of eggs was noted. . '
The reductions were by no means uniform in the various sec-
tions of the country. In Omaha where the decrease was the larg-
est food prices fell six per cent while in New York the reduction
amounted to only one per cent. "

Some Interesting Figures
For the year 1918 a total of 442.") Ill persons in the United
States filed income tax returns according to a report issued by the
Uureau of Internal Revenue. Of those filing .l.alti.iHS had incomes
running from 100(1 to .2000 while 1.4!(i.S7S reported incomes from
$2000 to WOOO and (1 ().(!)." had received from $JOO0 to 4000 during
the year. Those reporting incomes from ."000 to 10000 numbered
o:il!).:i")().
The persons included Jn the classes here enumerated total
!)li267. AVhile there are too many "swollen fortunes" in this
country too many extremely rich and too many in dire 'poverty
for the well-being of the social fabric these figure lack ;nuclr of
sustaining the contention that all wealth of the country has been
gobbled up by the "favored few."

The news that the conditicn of
Bill Hohenzollern has improved so
much that his son Willie alias
crown prince has gone home prop-
erly comes under the heading "Im-
I'ort if True."
Also it relieves the .whole family'
of a heavy load of worry and anxiety
to larn that the ex-kaiser may soon
be able to resume his wood chopping.

Another thrilling 'bit of news from i
afar is the information that Mr. i
Harding on board a liner bound for
Panama spends much of his time on
deck smoking his pipe.
The fact that the president-elect Is
a patron of the pipe will still fur-
ther endear him to the hearts of the
male portion of his fellow-countrymen.
Mr. Harding probably contracted
the pipe habit whtie he was an
editor. All newspaper men smoke
big black pipes at least in stories
and movies.
Albert Thompson is arranging to
let a contract for a clean shave and
a fresh hair cut. We heartily ap-
prove of such public improvements
and we command Mr. Thompson for
his enterprise.
Ki Simp says he notices that a
warm spell in the fall never vlasts
long when the wind changes to the
north and the temperature drops.
Tho mero fact thut a woman is
somewhat rheumatic isn't going to
keep her from moving like light-
ning when a mouse runs across tho
room.
One reason a woman sometimes
warns her husband not to .buy her
a Christmas present Is because she
wants to pick it out herself. '
You'll have to admit that tho
price of Red Crossing Is a lot lower
