RAILWAY REFORM.

; jir Samuel . VaUe's Cheap t transit Scheme.

Air address was given by __r__3. last'evehing upon his scheme fpr jj^l w ay Reform. The meeting was held of the Y.M.G.A. Build ink-.The'. attendance was fair, a few r#t- ■ - ■■-•'••■ kdiesalso being present.

"Mr- Andrew Bell was voted to. the cßajr, and briefly introduced the speaker. Hi'sail''that', although', they might nf'tmaerstand : Mr' Vaile's'scheme, that was no' reason why they should not ,l_bri to his'explanation. He was glad to hear-that;Mr Vaile had decided.to stand for Parliament, and he hoped that he would .Btetur_ed;!thenhewould he able to ex pound his views to men of intelligence. .MrVaile said ;tbat he; proposed to,deal '*)s.s& influence' of railways, generally nwnindugtiqfd.occupation- He thought tqatajfafr better system, might he intro- They might get, he'believed, in cieasfi facilities, and also ah increase of the revenue to the extent of L20Q,000 per annum. hac|, throughput his voting in committee, supported this contention, and Majtff Atkinson was acknowledged to kg a great financier. When they looked upon ■» the ' poverty in the world they cgrjld not help wandering what wa3 the found' this, destitution both . fa'free"trade and' protective countries. Therefore there must be some deeper cause, anrfhethougHt ifc was due marnly> almost solely,tothe vicious transit system of the , world; "All the charges were, reckoned at per ."mile - , which prevented distribution and -tended to pile up people in the f*reat centres of the world. -' It was nothing but the transit facilities that in creased the value of the land by encouraging people to:settle on the land- They were all agreed that the poverty existed. They also /knew that all wealth came from the application of labour to. the land. . But in Eagland they had one„fth of the whole population piledin London.. These people were not. producers, but merely improvers and: exchangers. It was in these great cities that l the r: capitalist could obtain his cheap labour. Expense of. transit even caused the producer to crush in centres, \yhich were hismar %&, '.What they wanted to do was spread' thdr Jabour over the land, andtlitjsdb away with the cheap labour andl|sseii the' poverty." ' The great f9Wth. of London commenced when . ?as united "by rail to' Birmingham, ana it had continued increasing ever since. Were also compelled to crush "into the %rng to. be near the manufactories Tin wnicfi they were empioyedr How much i| Would be if the industrial popula tion, instead qf being crushed oh a'4o-foot allotment in' the J city," had been' spread out a J9?_ the railway lines ontwd"arid three acre Beetions?'But the cost *6f transit forbade fnchathing. Had this,however;been done, of men walking the streets when they w er g 0 f work, they would 1 ? transfer their' labour from the to the land, and thus the "»MFy would not suffer. Railways by capitalists for the ?l?_L-i ,^tß - & itu &>™ Great Britain had been expended jn the con ?v!3?to°n of railways. . They were owned w 9ftt*miUioh of people, so that it prac- Secally meant that out of Britain's popula- R ,pf 35,060,000, 34,1300,000 paid bote to: the other 500,000' for the m Pf;the roads. Jn America it was worse. The Czar pf Russia was not •? peat a despot as the railway companies. Wprfcpg P* the Standard Oil Company m an instance .of what the secret could do. '.Originally it W L M 5 poor company, and in 1873 its assets. Wbut L 200,000, but by using the., to crush the "rival. co_! The Standard was able to SS^ trad ° *_*? world until Russia mtered into competition, That showed iTJ orked th< > railways. l| S.^ tually . mem that:the Govern- to secure: "all P to protect thepeope. Infowweway

an attempt had been maclo to monopolise the whole pf.the.-coal trfide and the gas trade, also, stock. They simply crashed out all competition. Mr Vaile" also referred to the wheat, corner in America, and cited instances to show that those commanded the roads of a 'douiitry also" commanded its com merce. The same system was carried on in Englahd.only in a lesser degree. The rates were purposely confused, so that people could not understand them. Sir Edward Watkinson had stated, before a Railway Commission at Home, that on the Great Northern Railway alone there were 10 000,000 rates. How could a man find his particular rate out of that number ? Mr Vaile then quoted from a book written hy Mr Grierson, manager of the Great Western Railway, to show that the rates pressed heaviest upon the small local produc- 1 '- He said that such waß ' the state of things which Mr Maxwell wished to bring about here. ir e then quoted statistics to show that foreign goods were carried at less rates than the English articles. All this tended to crush out the small men, and he considered that it was greatly due to the manipulation of the railways that the trade had to a crreat extent deft England.. He admitted that it was necessary to charge a little j j-]) 9 j. {or smaller parcels, but'contended that the extra charge should only be suffi cient to pay f° r exfcra handling. (Applause.) _j_ r Yftill th§n went on to prove "that the railways, of this colony are now both uncon sciously " n d also designedly used for the purpose of crushing out local indus tries/ He showed how the, rates on the New Zealand lines pressed heavily upon the small producers, and were much higher than in America, although the construction of the lines had cost less, He contended that the rates were fraudulently constructed. He waa; prepared, if. necessary, to prove that assertion. Mr Vaile then criticised Somewhs..- severely the presenf rating sys teni shoving that different rates could be charged -just as the i-ailway manage ment pleased. Mr Vaile relieved the dry details by telling some amusing anecdotes relative to railway changes. His final one was of a more serious character. At one of the country stations a poor woman arrived with a little poffin which she wished to forward to town. Inside was the dead body of her child, winch she wished to be buried alongside others of her family. The rail way official demanded £1. The poor womanbarj hot got the money, and was forced to turn asay- There "was another official B _^ n ffingby,' Hewa_ of a different style, for they hat many good men upon their lines. As soon as his superior's back was turned, this man and, '*Here, giye me the coffin." 'He then took it to a small shed, and put it irjside a soap box, and forwarded it to town for one shilling. (Applause.) Mr Vaile next pointed out now local rates had in some instances, been manipulated in such a manner as to crush out local in dustries and other companies. As an in stance he referred to the Waikato Steam Navigation Company. He contended that the rates were purposely jo framed as to be perfectly unexplainable to tbhe mass •of the peppTe.- He quoted from Mr Max well's report, 18S4, in which he stated that the differential rates were not sufficiently -icarried' out,, owing to ihe sensitiveness qf the public generally. Under bis SJftem the prices would be so }qw that there would be no competing with the railways|and, as a result, the omni buses would/be driven to act as feeders to the railfiay, as the people would npcessafily ijettle all along the line. He contehdedtbat it was quite possible to produce an "intelligible system of railway rates, and also that the railways could be worked on the same system as the Tele graph and t|e Telephone Departments. Th.y could not develop the internal trade until tjiey had obtained cheap means of transit.. What they must look forward- to was. the universal fare, so that a man's! goods could travel the same as Jiis Setter,' any distance, far the same price. Mr Vaile then by means of diagrams" explained his pro posed scale off charges, and pointed out how suoh a Bjstem must inevitably en courage industrial operations everywhere throughout the He did not be lieve itfjuld be easy to at once adopt, the. qnmrsal fare, although he understood that Sir George' Grey was pre . pared to adyocatS the immediate adoption of that system) *Jf men could travel 128 miles for 2s, thef; tiie manufactures would be spread aj]'W the country instead of crowding into the cities. It" was impos sible to distribute wealth without distribut ing the population. He did not believe that his system fould give all the advan tage tp the lareelandholder's, _ as all would be able % cut up their land into small sections, and the competition would still equalise matters. . He did not propose to go intplithe financial argument, as that had already been laid out at sonic length! He stated.that Sir George Grey and Sir William Fox were both in favour of giving his scheme atrial. ,Mr Otto made Mgft remarks. He said that Mr Vaile's system would cause such a revolution would become very valuable, and theywould require to look also to the questionp'f the land tenure. He certainly advocaj£d'gny system that would distribute the peopli} oyer the land. A vote of thanks was then accorded to Mr Vaile and the chaiman, after which the meeting concluded, m
