W*I* Wfltaar Minnesota RAILROAD PROBLEM QUESTION OF STUBBORN FACT.N0T OF THEORY McAdoo Favors a Five-Year Test Period in Which to Prove Which Is Better, Government Ownership or Private Ownership Wisely Regulated Under Superior Authority of Federal Government. By W. G. M'ADOO. The railroad problem is today one of the most, if not the most, impor tant and vital domestic questions facing the American people. Our welfare and prosperity depend on its proper solution. Therefore it is peculiarly necessary that the facts regarding it be understood clearly that it be set tled not along partisan political lines nor in deference to the prejudices of any class that the American people face the issue boldly and dispose of it as courageously as they have always done with every basic problem they have had to meet Let me say immediately that I have no pet theory to advance in discussing the settlement of the railroad ques tion. At the present time I am neither an advocate nor an opponent of gov ernment ownership. But while my tendency is against government own ership and in favor of a wisely regu lated private ownership under strong federal control, I am frank to say that I am not afraid of government owner ship should experience, gained by an adequate test, prove that it is the best solution of the problem. We are liv ing in a new day in America the world is throwing off old shackles we must do what seems best in view of ascertained facts regardless of pre conceptions. I favor a five-year test period because I believe Its results will tell us convincingly which is better— government ownership or private own ership wisely and adequately regulated under the superior authority of the federal government. Calls Attention to Problem. The recent suggestion I made to the congress for such a test under peace conditions has at least served to con centrate attention on the problem. Many of the attacks on the plan plain ly have been dictated by selfish in terests others just as plainly are due to misunderstanding. The suggestion most generally ad vanced by the opposition is that the roads be continued under government operation for the twenty-one months' period after the war, as provided by the present federal control act, and that during that time remedial legis lation (there is an utter lack of agree ment on the details of such legisla tion) be enacted to return the roads to their private owners. There are two reasons why such a course* seems to me impossible first, the roads cannot be operated success fully under the present act for twenty one months with the prospect of their return to their owners at the end of that time approaching nearer every day and second, no adequate and fair remedial legislation can be obtained within that time in view of the polit ical situation, and the lack of crystal lization of the thought of the nation as to what is the best permanent so lution. In discussing these two points, I must be frank, for the American peo ple are entitled to frankness. This is their problem, and they are going to settle it sooner or later whether cer tain Interests want them to or not. The most serious obstacle to going on with the present system of federal control under existing limitations while the congress tries to work out remedial legislation is that of morale. Some purposely blind people appear to think this an idle argument, put for ward to bolster up a plan. They do not know the situation. "No man can serve two masters." Face Stubborn Fact The railroad officials and employees of the United States are only human. If they see the end of federal control rapidly approaching, with their posi tions and their future the constant subject of partisan political contro versy, and with an entirely different system of control, which will vitally affect each individual employee, about to go in effect they naturally cannot work with undivided thought and at the highest point of efficiency they will be thinking inevitably of the in terests of the private owners whose employees they will soon become, and they will pay less and less attention to the government officials operating the roads. Where the interests" of the private owners and of the government clash, as they unavoidably will in many cases, employees will hesitate which interest to serve. Confusion and lack of efficiency are bound to result. This is not theory this is a stubborn fact that must be faced. Already signs of the difficulty are beginning to appear. With other forms of industry this might not be so serious, but the p-osperity and even the lives of mil lions of Americans depend upon the discipline and efficiency of the Ameri can railroad machine. It would be a dangerous experiment truly to play with such an organism merely for fear of a bugaboo or for partisan political purpose or advantage. Then, too, were the effort made tc continue the present control under ex isting legislation, the railroads, from a physical standpoint, might stand still or even deteriorate during the twenty one months' period. Without the co operation of the railroad corporations, it is difficult under the present law to carry forward improvements or to ob tain needed equipment Already many of the railroads are resisting pur chases of necessary equipment for their account. Many of the necessary improvements* such as joint terminals, while of great benefit to the public, are not relished by some railroad cor porations for competitive and there fore selfish reasons. Such improve ments would result in great econo mies, without which it probably would be impossible to reduce passenger or freight rates during the twenty-one months' period. It is impossible to carry forward an adequate program of Improvements and to demonstrate those operative economies which will cheapen transportation in a shorter pe« feigs ^,^^t^!P-S"T*^'% WILLMAR TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, JAN. IS, 1919 rlod than live years. Must Keep Out of Polities. I would prefer not to mention poll tics in connection with this problem, because primarily it is an economic question. But we must-not be blind. The American people have been dis cussing the railroads for generations almost every man in public life has gone on record on some phase of the subject. In 1920 there will be a presi dential election. It is idle to suppose that under such conditions it will be possible during this or the next con gress to secure calm and deliberate consideration of the ultimate solution of the problem, much less a fair and adequate permanent settlement. This vital question must not be settled in the heat or passion of partisan poli tics it must be dealt with in the calm of an inter-presidential election period. Some of the opponents of the sug gested five-year extension of federal control appear to do so on the ground that the operating revenues during the year 1918 will be insufficient to pay the rentals guaranteed to the owners. They forget that most of the wage increases granted to employees took effect January 1, 1918, whereas the increased passenger and freight rates did not go into effect until six months later. If increased freight and pas senger rates had gone into effect Jan uary 1, 1918, at the same time as the wage increases, there would have been no deficit. They also forget that the government took over the roads when they were completely paralyzed and when the greatest congestion, of traffic in their history was upon them. It cost the government millions of dollars to clear up the congestion and get the railroads running again efficiently. They also forget that blizzard followed blizzard, and that it cost much money to overcome their effects. They for get, too, that the price of coal, of steel, and of other supplies was far above normal during the past year. These added expenses all would have had to be met had the roads continued under private control, and to pay for them, rates would have had to be increased. Private operation the past year would have failed utterly and the deficit would have been greater perhaps than under government management. Economies Can Be -Effected. Under peace conditions, and with a period of five years of federal control assured, It should be possible to main tain existing wages and working condi tions and to effect such economies, that reductions in rates, both passen ger and freight, ought to follow with in a reasonable time. Unquestionably economies can be effected under uni fied control that cannot be practiced under diversified control. Already the extra charge of one-half cent a mile lor riding in sleeping cars, imposed as a war measure, has been removed, and other restrictions enforced by the war are rapidly disappearing. Unfortunately some of the opposi tion to the proposed five-year exten sion is based on dissatisfaction with service given the public during the war. It is argued that conditions have been bad, although this is not true. It can be stated as a fact, which can not be successfully contradicted, that service has been greatly improved un der federal control, in spite of the tremendous demands that the war needs have imposed. 'Here again it is forgotten apparently that the railroads were placed under government control for the purpose of winning the war against the German autocracy. The first duty was to move troops and war supplies. I have yet to hear a sound criticism of the manner in which that pressing war need was met. Millions of soldiers were moved safely and ex peditiously to the seaboard, and from camp to camp. Foodstuffs, munitions and other supplies were rushed to ships at express-train speed. The American railroads during the past year have functioned for the war pur pose. Civilian travel and ordinary business, while ot necessity given sec ondary consideration, have been cared for extraordinarily well in the diffi cult circumstances. But even in the conduct of ordinary business, the record made by the rail roads shines by comparison with the record of private control in previous years when considered from the stand point of important traffic. During the full of 1918, there was practically no congestion anywhere and we were still at war. Remember the congestion on the railroads in the crop-moving sea sons of 1916 and 1917. Toward the end of 1916 conditions became so bad that the Interstate commerce commis sion made an investigation. As a re sult, Commissioner McChord filed a re port in which he said that "mills-have «hut down, prices have advanced, per ishable articles of great value have been destroyed, and hundreds of car loads of food products have been de layed in reaching their natural mar kets." Also that "long delays in tran sit have been the rule rather than the exception, and the operations of established industrial activities have been uncertain and difficult." Became Simple Matter. The accommodation of passengers In peace times, and the proper at tention to the transportation of ordi nary freight, become a comparatively simple matter once the larger ques tions have been disposed of. No prac tical, just and experienced man can honestly argue that government op eration per se has caused bad service. Already needed trains are being re stored crowded conditions are being remedied rules made necessary by the war are being done away with. I touch on such questions briefly in order that there may be no beclouding of the issue by the injection of false premises. No disaccommodation will result to the traveling or shipping pub lic by the extension of the period of CS^eral control. The question jnerelg DEFECTIVE ^^t^^k^'i^l^%^^Vs*f' »^W3 Is whether wise and well considered remedial legislation for the return of the roads to private control can be obtained under existing conditions within twenty-one months, and wheth er, even if that were possible, the roads could be operated successfully, economically and satisfactorily pend ing the discussion by the congress and the country, and especially with the 1920 presidential campaign ap proaching. Neither contingency being possible jn my judgment, I see no escape from the conclusion that the period of fed eral control must be extended for five years, so that an adequate test of uni fied operation may be secured under peace, not war, conditions, and neces sary improvements to terminals and other facilities be made, free from partisan political influences, or the railroads must be restored to private control in the near future to take their chances under the old laws and conditions which governed them prior to the assumption of control by the government.

Some of the Remarkable Achieve ments of the Participation in the World War. Washington, Dec 1918 —"The American Navy has designed, built, and is now manning with bluejackets specially trained for land service, the largest and most high-powered mobile land artillery in the world," it Is stat ed in the annual report of the Secre tary of the Navy recently issued. The type of gun referred to is of fourteen inch calibre, hurls its projectile thirty miles, and can be moved from one end of France to the other, on specially designed railway cars on which the guns are permanently mounted, as easily as can field artillery. In comparing this type of gun with the German long-range "freak" guns which fired on Paris, the report says. "They (the German guns) were built on permanent steel and concrete foun dations which were eventually sought out by allied aeroplanes and the guns subsequently silenced. The shells were small and specially built for long-range flight. This fact reduced their military efficiency. The German long-range guns, while they had a cer tain moral effect, were without great practical military value. The Ameri can naval guns fire projectiles approxi mately seven times heavier than the shells the Germans used against Paris." Other recent achievements of the Navy Department, as shown by the re port, include a special mine-loading plant with a capacity of more than 1,000 mines a day. This plant has been established near Yorktown, Va About, 11,000 acres of land was need ed for the enterprise In Brooklyn the Navy Department has built what is said to be the largest concrete storehouse in existence. The Navy has also installed in Annapolis the greatest high-power radio station the world and in Washington has constructed two office buildings for war expansion one for the Navy De partment and one for the War Depart ment, which "considered as a group exceed in volume and floor space re other office building in the world re gardless of type indeed, it is thought that no existing office building is larg er than either of these two Time records were broken in the construc tion of these buildings The total floor space of the two buildings is ap proximately 1,800,000 square feet, or more than 41 acres. The several wings if joined end to end would form a structure 1 3-4 miles long, GO feet wide and three stories high. A complete circuit of all the exterior walls would require a journey of four miles. That American invention genius in tends to take no chances with a for eign foe is indicated by the fact, as stated in the report, that the Naval Consulting Board has considered more than 110,000 ideas, inventions and de vices submitted. In his report the Secretary of the Navy pays the following tribute to the efficiency of the civil service system: "Under the law all navy-yard work men must be recruited through the civil service, and the department de sires to express its gratification and appreciation of the manner in which the Civil Service Commission met the emergency and by the creation of almost a new organization and the fearless cutting of all needless red tape has done all tha.t All Ladies' Tailored Suits sacrificed to effect a quick clearance.
