MOfloOiit imavo said that governments
are not able to administer the affairs of rail-
roads. They try to make time peopio beilevo
that thmo plan of government roads is a pro-
ductlo of thc imagination of socialistic and
popuiistic dreamers , while In reaiity time aye-
tOOi of government adnministratiori ha a attmb-
horn fact and railroads of this character
have been operated for decades with greatest
financial success ,
I'russia u'as the first country to introduce
time government railroad system , to thmo cx-
tent of oxiuding nearly all private railroads ,
and lt infimmemico lies induced a large umuimibor
of other statea to adopt time Mine a-vstemn.
After the I'russian constitution of 1350 Imad
closed the rov'biutionary period of 1118 to
1850 , time I'ruasian government directed its
attention to time material Interests of time
people amid conmrncncod the government comi-
strtmction of roads In those Provinces wimich
were imeghected by time prlvato companies.
This s'as not for the purpose of mmmakiimg
11101103' , lint to develop time agricultural , corn-
emercial and industrial interests of thmeo see-
tions. One of tile main roatis thins con-
etructed by tie government and run unmier
governnmentai administration was time great
eastern road , connecting lhorihn and Koonigs-
burg. This action of the governnmemmt mnado
all claera of time people faiiiiilar whit time
systemmu of govermmment roads amid naturally
toil to the Idea that nil roads should be
OWlieti anti managed by tii0 govornmuemmt. No

time Young Uermnan empire appoInted in 1S73
a coimirnisalomi for time Investlgatiomi of this
rAilroad question , Thie cornmmmlesion , after ft
timorough Investigation of all circumstances ,
decided in favor of the system of gos'ermm-
mmmont roads , and this system was recoimi-
mnemnhcd for adoption by time wimoho German
empire. In consequence , fllsrmlarck proposed
in ISTG a govermimmiontal railroad project for

were jeaiomms of time growing uowor of time
empire and preferred to control their own
rallroads
Not discoimraged by flismarck's failure In
thIs matter , the Prumselan governhmlommt began
in 1879 tIme work of introducing time systeimm
of government roads. Time aequmisition of
private roads by the governtnemmt was ac-
cornpiisimed by voimmntary sale and tmrclmaso.
In purcimasing raIlroads from private corn-
panics time governmnent acted with great
liberality , giving mmear time taco value of time
shares in :34 : er cent interest-bearIng bonds
whicim had a imiglmer amarket. value than had
time shares. Thmimi made the shareholders
very willing to agree to thmo trnmmsaction.
All time railroad otilcimmis wore also taken
care of , their rights beIng reserved and time
moat of them being appointed as ofllcial9
in time state raIlroad service. TIme directors
of time private roads , if they were emmtitled
