Tuesday Evening, September 3ft i, tage Two THE EUGENE GUARD OVHEHSHIPOF RAILROADS BY NATION FLAYED , Walter M. Head Speaks Be fore American Bankers Association CHICAGO, Bept. 80. UPh-Oppo-Billon to government ownership ot tin nuiioo's railroads and other basic industries was expressed in an ad dress before the opening melon of the 60th annual convention of the American Bankers' association by Walter W. Hesd, president of the or ganization, who urged the bankers to combat vigorously all efforta to give Gongresa the power to over-ride de cisions of the supreme court and de clared the causes of the agricultural crisis were predominantly economic and the remedy lay in the application of sound economic principles rather than in pursuit of political panaceas. Mr. Head dwelt upon the burden of taxation now prevailing and stated that it bad reached the point of op pression. ladvldiiato Kept Dawn. "Despite the general recognition of the overwhelming harden of govern ment," he laid, "we find ourselves constantly waging a defensive battle against plans which would transfer still greater duties to government, which would hamper Individual Initia tive atill further, which will, if put into practice, crush individual ambi tion and destroy individual opportu nity. ., "We are being urged to desert Ideals of individual enterprise, to en throne government instead of the in dividual as the mainspring of Individ ual achievement. We face demands for government ownership and opera tion of railroads, of coal mines, of va rious great basic Industries. These ef forts to nationalize our industries are especially destructive t the present time, when our railroads seed care ful guidance in order that they may avoid financial disaster, and that the transportation harden, borne by the public may be kept at the lowest pos sible figure. Cites Agrtouitire, The American Bankers aseoda tlon believes that the causes of ths agricultural crisis were predominantly economic and that the remedy lay in the application of sound economic principles, rather than in the pursuit ot political panaceas. ' "I would not for a moment, and do not, condemn all legislation which may be proposed for the relief of ag riculture, political action has its proper sphere, but its efficacy is lim ited to the removal of artificial ob stacles which interfere with the nor mal functioning of economic princi ples. Legislation may help to keep upon the avenues through which eco nomic law Is free to operate, but It cuunot de more. It may temporarily Swelenite or temporarily retard the ib and flow of economic tides. It will alleviate, but It cannot curt. We muBt be watchful thn,t the legislative pal Latlve does not like a sleep-Inducing drug, leave us to be victimized by a disaster greater than that which we seek to avoid." ' Praising the work of the Ameri can experts (a creating Ue Dawea re port sod bringing about financial re habilitation of Europe through its adaption, Mr. Head aald: "This great achievement is not the work of any single man. Statesmen of several governments, the people of many nations, made it possible. But insofar as special credit can be ac corded, ths largest individual meas ures must go to the man whose neme is bailed .in every nation ss the prin cipal author of tha plan since adopt ed, General Charles Q. Dawea of Chi cago, and to his associates, Owen D. Xoong of New York, and Henry M. Robinson of Los Angelea. Sou will observe that two of these great Americans are bankers." and allowed the water pipes to fresze In the winter. It waa pointed out to the governor that any of these objections can be met by nolice regulation. The governor will suggest that tho order be suspended 80 days. The fair board is to meet November 6, and the question will probably.be finally de cided on at that time.
