Evening Republican, Volume 59, Number 113, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 June 1917 — Ownership of Railroads. [ARTICLE]

Ownership of Railroads.

No country in Europe owns all of Its railroads, but the movement toward government-owners^,..has made considerable progress. Where government ownership does not exist the government exercises a large degree of control. In Germany most of the railroads belong to the various states of the empire, by far the longest mileage being in the hands of Prussia. Kussla has more state-ownership than private ownership of railroads and Great Britain has no public ownership.
