It opens with a brief excerpt from the special American Railway Edition of the London Times, which refers to the splendid spirit and faith that projected and built the railways of America out into the boundless wastes of a sparsely peopled continent. This is followed by the valedictory of James J. Hill, whose \"Life Adventure\" spans the period from the days when railways preceded settlers to our own times, when their problem is one of providing adequate transportation for an industrial nation of nearly 100,000,000 souls.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:0.82em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eRailway rates and railway valuation naturally occupy a prominent and significant place in this issue of the Library, and so the opinion of Justice Hughes in the Minnesota rate case, although not delivered until June, 1913, finds it appropriate setting amid the railway literature of the preceding year. It is given in extenso, the only omission being the legal citations, which are generally more distracting than illuminating to the lay mind. This opinion should be studied in connection with the findings of fact by Judge Otis and the decision of Judge Sanborn in the case under review, given in the Railway Library for 1910. Although no new legal principle is enunciated, delimitation of state and national authority is set forth afresh with exhaustive perspicacity. The decision of the lower court and the finding of the Master are overruled on the question of valuation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:0.82em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eThe railways can bide their time until Congress or the Interstate Commerce Commission puts the federal quietus on state interference with interstate rates ; but the existence of a \"railway value\" for lands needed for railway purposes will not down at the bidding of courts or college professors. The railway service and facilities which Judge Prouty, in another paper, says are \"obligatory\" wait upon the \"railway value\" at every terminal. It is the salt with which condemnation juries season so highly their awards for property taken for public use, whether in rural meadows or crowded city lots, whether measured by the acre or the square foot. It is this \"railway value\" that James J. Hill has in his mind's eye when he estimates the present and future needs of the railways for greater terminal facilities in terms of billions. It is no more speculative than Galileo's assertion of the Copernican theory.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:0.82em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eThe illustrated article on the New York Central's new station in New York illustrates how enormous is the cost for modern terminals. for passenger traffic alone ; whereas convenient terminals for freight are the more essential.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Calibri;font-size:0.82em;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;\"\u003eThe problem of safety in railway operation and service receives attention in several articles.
