when congress reconvenes in Decem

brotherhoods announce.
The idea of government ownership
of railroads or the Plumb plan which
the railroad brotherhoods and organ
. ized labor generally have indorsed, has
gained srength, it is stated here, as
a result, of the recent decision handed
down by the interstate commerce com
mission in the case of two roads that
the basis of valuation is to be repro

will be a month yet before the stock is entirely ar- |

cost, for which the La Follette group
contends.
Announcement by the Union Pacific
railroad that it will contest the de
cision of the I. C. C. fixing the final
valuation of one of its subsidiaries, on
the ground that the valuation should
be $75,000,000 instead of $45,000,000,
was taken by railroad men to mean
that the owners will seek new means
of delaying the valuation of the roads.
Ten years have elapsed since La Fol
lette succeeded in getting the valua
tion act passd by congress. Addition
al proceedings to contest the I. C. C.
decision may mean a delay of another
year or more, during which, the pub
lic will be paying railroads rates based
upon ' an excessive tenative valuation.
The legislation which the La Fol
lette group will urge in «the next con
gress will provide that the intrastate
commerce commission, in valueing the
railroads should find the original cost,
and if it cannot find them, to estimate
them. Such legislation, if enacted, has
the shortcoming that it may be de
clared invalid by the courts, the su
preme court having ruled in one case
that tlie reproduction and not the or
iginal cost must be used as a basis for
determining value.
A statement issued by railroad labor
organization contains an attack made
by William G. McAdoo, director gen
eral of railroads during the war, on
the association of railroad executives.
The association of railroad execu
tives has engaged in a deliberate and
organized propaganda of falsification
for the last three years about federal
control of railroads, because it has
realized that only by poisoning public
opinion could it accomplish the selfish
purposes it hajd in view," McAdoo de
clares. "It would be interesting to
know how many millions have been
spent by the railroads on false propa
ganda. Every dollar of this illegiti
mate expenditure has been paid for
by the people thru increased freight
and passenger rates."

The territory served by the Great Northern Railway har
vests its crops and ships to market its heaviest load in the fall
season.
This year the Great Northern is prepared to handle a larger
traffic than ever before. It has purchased nearly a hundred
large, new locomotives of the most modern type, as well as
four thousand new freight cars; it has built new track and im
proved old it is equipped to do the people's work well. A sup
ply of cars is one of the important elements in this preparation.
The Great Northern not only
owns ample equipment for the
crop moving season, but it has these cars on its own lines
ready for business and in excellent condition. Here is the
actual record:
