The extravagance in the government
printing office has become a scandal,
there being a recent report revealed,

While serious shortcomings are
shown in the operation of these mono-
polies the results of that ownership
of railways are even more striking
and llluminatlvo. Experiments in this
field began in Frauds in 1876. The
line acquired then returns less than
two per cent. today‘on the capital in-
vested. Regarding this line Prof. Le~
roy Beaulieu says : “It has had some
terrible accidents of late costing the
lives of scores of passengers " The.
last accident, it seems. was due to al
weakened bridge over the Loire whose
condition had been common gossip for
some time. To this line have been add-
ed other lines until government rail-
ways in France now amount nearly to
one-fifth of the liotal. running from
Paris to anvre. Cherbourg, Brest and
Nantes.
The, operation of this system is de-
scribed by the French economist as a
great financial and technical disap-
pointment. :He says: “For the first
two years the whole line was in an
absolutely" chaotic condition. The
trains were never on time and the
worst possible accidents were contin-
ually happening, whereas under. the
old management not a single passen-
ger had been“ killed in ten yonrs.‘ The
new management has been ‘cutting
