From G. H. Mackenzie. Farmer, Kelso.

In regard to yours of April 15th, my opinion is that the Railways are better under the present management. If Government had the management, there would be changes as the members change, which in case of strikes would be very awkward for the farmers and stock raisers. Every new member would be having a dig at Railway management. There would be no settled system. In fact they would be run on the same lines as the country is at present.
