THE RAILROAD SITUATION.
HE fact that a man the calibre of Daniel Roper is predict
inc the railroads may hav to g I back under govern
mental control shows the seriousness of the transDorta-
tiou system. JHuch has been said of the deficit incurred under
government management but all signs indicate the deficit under
private control will be still heavier. Though the roads have
been given a $300,000,CK)0 revolving fund and are guaranteed
: Lit per cent interest on their investment they are still up against
iar it and think they must have a half billion dollar irovernmont

The key to the solution of the nrohlcm. in the onininn nf
practical railroad men. is a government loan, in addition to rho '
j revolving fund of $300,000,000 and an increase in freight rates,
aciequate to meet increased wages and other costs of transporta
tion. The Interstate Commerce Commission is preparing to relieve
me ireignt congestion by rigid priority rulings which will check
the shipment of "all non-essentials until the yards are cleared. j
The effect on general business, temporarily, will be drastic.
