Abhland, Oie., Thursday, Ajril 15, '15 NATIONALIZING RAILROADS. Under the present system the stock holders of a railway company do not in any sense control the road. It has developed that the creditors usu ally control it. Wall street, being tbe credit center, holds control and merges railroad properties through holding companies. Now William W. Cook, general counsel for the Mackay Company, Postal-Telegraph Cable Company and Commercial Cable Company and author of "Cook on Corporations," comes forward with a plan for gov ernment control without government ownership through enactment of a naioual law for the organization of a holding company for them all, or to create four holding company dis tricts, say, one east, one south, one west and one for the Pacific north west, in which one-third of the di rectors would be named by the gov ernment, one-third by the roads within the regional district and one third by the present railroad staff. The stock of the holding company would be interchangeable for present railroad stock, the exchange to be forced by condemnation if neces sary, the government guaranteeing dividends and supplying funds for further extensions by issuing guaran teed stock as needed. After the guar anteed dividends were paid tbe sur plus profit would go to the govern ment. By this method, one In very com mon and successful use now by pri vate corporations, he proposes gov ernment control without government ownershsip. In other words, he of fers this solution of the railroad sit uation without entailing the dangers of political manipulation under gov ernment ownership. The plan Is worked out on the same scheme as the regional bank organ ization, and coming as it does from a lawyer high In corporate organiza tion, will no doubt meet with careful consideration by thinking men.1 Late agitation against railronds has resulted in practically closing the market for needed railroad funds, an-1 this proposal may offer a solutlot. both in the Interest of the roads and the public. Those from southern California are tbe best judges of scenic, comparison between Ashland environment and that. Practically all who come from there here go into ecstasy over our scenery. The lateset is Dr. Guy W. Wadsworth, who spoke at 'the Pres byterian church last Sunday. He lives in southern California that section of all sections exploited for its beauty. However, on coming here and viewing our scenery he exclaims, "Tbe most beautiful I ever beheld." So with most widely traveled people. Many of them have gone across the great waters in quest of scenery, but have found nothing so classy. What a great asset, these scenic resources, not only to Ashland but tbe whole valley, if properly exploit ed; greater than all our orchards, al falfa fields and stock ranches. Every commercial club in the valley should organize with especial view to ex ploiting this asset Now that the ! mineral water project is under way ; tbe foundation is laid for a broad j development and utilization of these i scenic attractions. One contributes j to tbe attractiveness of the other and all of our scenic resources combined constitute a drawing card that should make the Rogue River Valley in fact "The Playground of the Pacific Coast."

"Evenwoman," at i the Tining Theatre April 21, by I Henry W, Savajr, hoc anne of the , preat success the piece achieved at jthe Drury Lane Theatre, London, where it had a long run. Though hat vast playhouse seats over four ; thousand people, it was packed to the rafters at every performance until the play had to give way to the an nual Christmas pantomime which, un- Hder the king's patent, is a fixture at this theatre. The pit and gallery lines during the run of 'Everywom an" are said to have been the longest jever known there. A pit line is a peculiar British institution. It is composed of members of the British i public who desire to economize in the ! matter of theatre tickets and who buy what is known in America as "rush" 6eats. They take their places jin line at the big successes and wait patiently, sometimes for hours, for 'the doors to open. The "Everywom jan" lines began forming shortly be ; fore noon. The lineups took with ! Alice Baxter in "Everywoman," Vin- lDeal eir dinners or suppers, as the ! ing Theatre, April 21. case might be, and stood there until 7:30, when the doors were opened and the procession advanced. The j police kept the lines in orfler and I there was no rushing or stampeding.
