OTTAWA AND THE RAILWAYS.
The National Railway System is
the 'work of the Conservative Party
and especially Hon. Arthur Meighen.
Through his constructive states-
manship the 'bankrupt railways -the
result of the Liberal railways policy:-
in/ere
olicy-•were rescued from disaster, brought
together and co-ordinated into a
great transportation 'entity, He Was
the founder of our great publicly
owned system and is now its guard-
ian: Today the control of this system
is in the hands of elle amen who op-
posed the absorption of the Grand
Trunk and who fought for the return
of the system tei corporation •owner-
ship and control. They •now profess
devotion to this great public enter-
prise, 'but in act and deed are de-
stroying its effectiveness and
wrecking public faith in it,
It is due to the watchfulness and
care of Mr, Meighen and -his col-
leagees that the National Railways
have not been more seriously burden-
ed and handicapped than they are. Al-
ready the capitalization of this sys-
tem due'to the mad over construction
If 20 years ago is at least $300,000,-
000 greater than it should be to
make the system a business proposi-
tionand to give the people of Can-
ada relief from the freight rate bur-
den so injurious to businessof all
kinds and especially' interprovincial
trade, one of the bonds of confeder-
ation, With such a capital burden it
is essential to the very existence of
this system that this capital should
not be unnecessarily augmented. To
prevent this Mr. Meighen has closely
scrutinized expenditure, not t
de-
prive the people of necessary trans-
portation facilities, but to prevent
political expenditure
r the people peopat le injuresthe
t
railway, deprives
es-
sential accommodation, and will per-
petuate the freight rates' burden.
Last year the government present-
ed a branch Lines' programme, that
was stated would cost about $30,000,-
000 hut which railway experts claim-
ed would entail an expenditure of
$80,000,000. In this programme were
many essential lines, but also some
of the "pork barrel" variety that were
unnecessary and meant, if built, a
continuous drain on the paying
branches for generations. The gov-
ernment told 'parliament that they
must vote for the whole programme
or none at all. It was a, clear attempt
to build political lines, by taking ad-
vantage of the necessities of certain
sections entitled to transportation
and including the political lines in
the programme of necessary lines and
then telling parliament to swallowall
or nothing. No information was
given as to cost, necessity, traffic,
estimated profits or deficits. *The
Senate refused to vote for the bill
containing .such pork barrel railways
as the Guysboro branch, rejected by
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Sir Robert Bor-
den and Hon, Arthur Meighen.
This year the government has
introduced almost the same pro-
gramme but, despite threats to the
contrary by Hon. George P. Graham,
each branch is judged on its merits,
and it is not a case of last year-
all branches or none. The Senate's
action last year has been justified by
the government's 1urrender this year,.
which permits parSkingat endorsing
essential lines and rejecting .political
projects. Parliament therefore retains
control of thircapital expenditure to
some degree. It can do justice to
citizens requiring railway facilities
and also justice to the country in
rejecting unnecessary lines,
Much .has been said of Sir Henry
Thornton's letter endorsing the
Branch Lines programme. It bore
every evidence of having been wrung
from him, as it gave--rnore reason
why the programme should 'be care-
fully scrutinized than it gave for the
endorsation of the whole proposal.
It is known that the. Canadian Na-
tional officials -not directors -fear
the adoption of the whole pro-
gramme. ° It can be stated and on the
Co-operation Will Win.
"Competition- is no longer the lite
of trade but co-operation.ls the as
eurance 01'success. There are three
forces leading us to bigger things and
they must co-operate. One is ,finance
and the others are labor and the
farmer, The farmer has been wee -
pendent and an individually and coin
pete with others collectively. There
must be 0 -operation for sales. for
purchases and for production. We
must standardize our products so the
buyer will know just what he is to
get." -Peter G. Ten Eyck before

best authority that leading Canad-
ian National officials will welcome,
in fact are privately asking. that
many of the "pork barrel" branches
he rejected. It is a government and
National Railway directorate pro-
gramme, not the programe desired
by the railway men, who wish to
make the system a success. Of
course it is endorsed by the directors
--that awful directorate -that Sir
Henry Thornton has to fight, and
whose waste and ,rapacity are only
paralleled by the Drury -Smith -Biggs
combination that discredited and al-
most ruined Ontario. 'Mr. Meighen
gave the National Railways a direc-
torate of superior Conservative and
Liberal business men, Premier King
has given a directorate of "pork
barrel" Grit politicians. Sir Henry
Thornton 'has to fight both the gov-
ernment and his directorate, Many
of the branch lines are "direc-
tor's" dines.
Mr. Meighen and his associates will
see that every line required in the
interests of the public and the rail-
way will receive' support, but they
will guard the treasury, public and
railway, against the enemies of the
National system on the government
benches and the railway directorate
Who will wreck it by extravagance,
since they, failed to prevent its co-
ordination. 'The government is at-
tempting to make the railwaya politi-
cal adjunct. If this is. permitted the
railway is doomed. Wasteful •ex-
penditure will wreck the system al-
ready overburdened with debt, ,,Mr.
Meighen is having a greater battle to
conserve the National system front
Grit politicians than he had when he.
defeated their attempts to prevent its
co-ordination. He will see that
everything necessary will be sup-
ported and . every political. line
exposed..
