Mr. Merle k said that he believed
the best plan yet presented for solv

prr-ented to congress by the national
asotiatin of owners of railroad se

for a fixed percentstte return to ths
roads and that where a road makes
a profit in excess or tl per cent the
'excess shall be divided between the

railroad. In his opinion this plan
protected all interests the public
