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."

forthcoming production of the dra
matic spectacle. "Evenwoman," at

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
