 PREFATORY NOTE 
 
 The purpose of this List is to provide means of ascertaining the 
 main provisions of tho systems of raih'oad administration in the sev- 
 eral countries of Europe. The List is restricted to works already in 
 tlie Library or that have been ordered for the Library. 
 
 Condensed statements from the amuial reports of foreign railways 
 are printed from time to time in the Railway news, I^ondon. 
 
 Fuller abstracts of these reports appear regulaily in the '"Revue 
 generale des chemins de fer" and also in the "Archiv fiir Eisenbahn- 
 wesen." The latest of these reports found in the files of the above 
 journals are noted in the accompanying list under the respective coun- 
 tries. Annual surveys of railroad affairs in Europe by Leon Clement 
 Colson are published in the Bidh^tin of the International railway con- 
 gress. These appear under the author's name in the accompanying List. 
 
 Tabulated statistics of the raih-oads of the several countries are 
 given in "Statistical abstract for the principal and other foreign coun- 
 tries in each year from 1892-3 to 1903," London, 1905. 
 
 The following administrative reports not at present in the Librar}''

 British and American railway rates. 
 
 {In Railway news, vol. 82, Sept. 10, 1904, pp. 419-420.) 
 "A fairer test is to compare corresponding rates for corresponding 
 distances, . . . Such a comparison has, in fact, been drawn up 
 on an exhaustive scale by the officials of the Caledonian Railway 
 Company, the tables compiled by them (in order to contrast Cale- 
 donian rates with those in operation on certain leading American 
 lines) occupying no fewer than forty pages of printed foolscap." 
 
 The British railway court. 
 
 {In The Outlook, vol. 79, Feb. 11, 1905, pp. .355-356.) 
 Argues that rate regulation does not necessarily mean "rate reduc- 
 tion," as shown ))y the experience of the British railway court.

 This article begins by saying that certain trade journals have been 
 filled during the previous summer with a whole series of com- 
 plaints as to "the difficulties which traders under the existing 
 system of tariff records have in ascertaining any specific rates with 
 ease and certainty." The writer goes on to point out that it is 
 not easy for the German State railways even to go as far as the 
 French private railways and replace by one single comprehensive 
 publication "the existing welter of tariffs and supplemental tar- 
 iffs." The French publication known as Chaix is b)' no means 
 complete. It only gives the more important rates and conditions, 
 yet it occupies 2,700 quarto pages of small print and weighs 14 
 lbs. avoirdupois. The Austrian railways, continues Herr Liittke 
 (Austrian only, not Hungarian), do publish a complete collection 
 of all their tariffs, which may be regarded as the pattern of what 
 such a work should be. It is divided into fourteen parts, occu- 
 pies 6,000 pages, and weighs 32 lbs. avoirdupois. That no such 
 collection exists for the German railwa3's, Herr Liittke acknowl- 
 edges; "that such a collection might be made, is undoubted." 
 But it would need to be vastly bigger than the Austrian. Ger- 
 many has more than four times as many stations; the tariffs 
 referring to the international traffic between (lermanj- and Austro- 
 Hungary would alone require some 3,000 to 4,000 pages. "In 
 any case, as a glance at the tariff record of the German Imperial 
 Railway Office shows, a compilation of the tariffs in which Ger- 
 many is interested, even if the transit tariffs were omitted, implies 
 not a book but a library." Contemporary review, April, 1905, 
 pp. 574-575.

 This report was drawn up for the Itahan Parhament to provide 
 information to guide its action in regard to the proposed taking 
 over by the Government of the Italian railroads. The original 
 report comprised upward of 600 quarto pages. The translation 
 herewith presented is an abridgment. The report first considers 
 the railroad policies of the countries of Continental Europe, 
 Great Britain, and the United States. It then examines into the 
 causes which brought about State exploitation in the countries 
 where it has been adopted. It then presents alternate plans for 
 railroad organization in Italy. The speech by Zanardelli before 
 the Italian Chamber of Deputies, in opposition to State control, 
 June 3, 1903, is printed in the appendix. Saporito' s report is 
 favorable to private management.
