THURSDAY. JUNE 2G, 1910. Vol. 7, No. 32 NEW HAIL PLANS ON SOUND BASIS Congress Determined to Make Certain Future Growth of Transportation Facilities. PLANS AGREE ON PRINCIPLES. 'keturn of Roads to Owners With Assurance of Adequate Revenues. ' Washington. One of the big prob lems befoie the new Congress, Is set ting the railroads, back on a peace basis. These 200,000 miles of. steel highways were taken over by the Gov ernment as an Indispensable ami of the national defense; but now that their war service Is over, there Is a country-wide demand that the Gov ernment restore them to their ownors to be operated on normal American business standards of efficiency. ! But, as has been pointed oilt by President Wilson as well as by many men in public: life who have given tills subject years of careful study. It is not enough simply to say to the railroad companies, "Take these rail roads and give the country the best 'transportation service that money and brains can provide." Old Laws Obstruct Growth. The President recently said that It would be a serious mistake to return to the old conditions of railroad regu lation without reforming the anti quated laws that were obstructing the free development of transportation fa cilities. The Director General of Kail roads has recently made an Inspection trip from 'coast to coast, and he has been telling the people that the time has now come to put the rutlroads on a sound foundation. The plans for a better system of liatlonnl control of railroads are as varied as were the plans for- banking and currency reform when Congress received a mandate from -thfe people jo provide insurance against financial panics. The public fow demands in surance against a. breakdown, of rail Toad transportation, and the new Con press is undertaking this work as sec ondary only to Insurance against In ternational -warfare. Congress solved the banking problem seven years ago ps a nqn-jmrtlsun issue, In which all the people had common interest, and Congress .evident) Is tackling the railroad problem with the same spirit. While .the .many plans that have been proposed differ In the methods to be adopted in reaching the desired goal, It has been pointed out by Sena tor Cummins of Iowa; that nil these plans have really very much In com mon so much so that he Is confident that Congress will have little difficulty In framing a bill that will meet wltn popular approval, and that will take the railroad question out of politics for many years to come. Many Plans with One Aim. The Iowa Senator has a command 'Ing position iu this Congress because lie Is the ranking member of the Interstate Commerce Committee of the United States ,Senutet and It is In this com mittee thut the new railroad bill will take final form. In an address before a national meeting of business men ut St. Louis Senator Cummins stated that since the close of the war, fully thirty complete pious for new railroad Validation had been submitted to him 'Jjtuijiestt. mPi U'ouoiulgtii, bflukem, ItMttoriiil Association ti.oo freb Catarrh Cannot Be Cured wltn LOCAL, AlTUCATtONS. As tlioy cannot reach tho soat of the disease. Catarrh Is a local disease. Rrently In fluenced by constitutional conditions, and In order to cure It you must take an Internal remsdy. Hall's Catarrh Medi cine Is taken Internally -and acts thru the blood on tho mucous surfaces of tho system. Hall's Catarrh Medicine was prescribed by one of the best physicians In this country for years. U Is com posed ot some of the best tonics known, combined with some of tho best blood purifiers. Tho perfect combination of the incrodtents In Halt's Catarrh Medi cine Is what produces such wonderful results in catarrhal conditions. Send for testimonials, tree. F. J.

Tlte basic principles upon which nil of these plans, with one exception, agree are as follows: 1. Private operation is more effi cient and more cco.nomlcal than Government operation, and the public interest will therefore be served by a return of the roads to private management. 2. To make certain that new capital will be attracted to the expansion of railroad facilities, there ought to be greater certain ty that a fair return will be earn ed or. the investment. 3. The merging of weak and strong roads into large competing systems should be encouraged. The making of a formula to pro vide a fair return on railroad capital seems likely tb be tho phase of the problem most thoroughly debated in Congress. The Director General has been urging thut the Government ought to guurantee a certain return nnd share In any excess earnings. Leading bankers, especially some of the international bankers In Wall street, who have in the past marketed many hundreds of millions of railroad securities, also lixk .'avorably on the suggestion of a Government guaran tee, which will make it easier to sell new securities, and will also stabilize the market for the old bonds and stocks. Government Guarantee OppoMd, Hut the proposal that the Govern ment shall guurantee the Interest and dividends on private capital fnveMed in railroads will undoubtedly .meet with very vigorous opposition In many quarters. Kven Tallroud executives, who might be supposed to take kindly to the Idea of a Government guarantee against failure, hnve frankly stated thai they do not want It, because they believe It Is un-American In principle, would tend to lessen efficiency, and would Involve the roads In a Govern ment partnership that would Incvltu bly lead tb Government ownership. War and Roller Skates. It Is a far cry from the world war to n child's roller skates, but accord ing to the fashion expert of Popular Mechanics Magazine, roller skntes nf the latest opprovd model are after the style of IlrltMi fighting tanks. Novelty always be'ng uppermost In the Juvenile heart, It ..miters not that the new skntes are n bit snowshoellke In size. Tho new skates are like nil oth ers except that th.-y are surrounded1 by tnnkllke bodies made of light sheet metal. The Source of Most Good Luck. "How do you happen to have such good luck with roses?" asked tho neigh bor. "Don't know" replied the umnteur gardener, "unless It Is bpcalisc I hoe the ground it lot mid spray them a lot, uud work with them u lot."
