NEW BAIL PLANS
ON SOUND BASIS
Congress Determined to Make
Certain Future Growth of
Transportation Facilities.
PLANS AGREE ON PRINCIPLES.
Return of Roads to Owners With
Assurance of Adequate
Revenues.
DELICIOUS and REFRESHING
You smack your lips over it,
because you like its taste, its
quality, its genuine gratifica
tion. It satisfies thirst. /
Nobody has ever been able to suc
cessfully imitate it, because its quality
is indelibly registered ia the taste of
the American public.
Washington.—One of the big prob
lems before the new Congress Is get
ting the railroads back on a peace
basis. These 2(10,000 miles of si eel
highways were taken over by the Gov
ernment as an indispensable arm 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 owners
to he operated on normal American
business standards of efficiency.
But* as has been pointed out by
President Wilson as well as by many
men in public life who have given
this subject years of careful study,
It Is not enough simply to say to the
railroad companies, “Take these rail 1 -
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 l>e 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 wade an inspection
trip from coast to coast, ami lie has
been telling the people that the time
has now come to put the rullroads op
a sound foundation.
The plans for a better system of
national control of railroads are as
varied as were the plans for banking
and currency reform when Congress
received a mandate from the people
to provide Insurance against financial
panics. The public now demands in
surance against a breakdown of rnll-
I road transportation, and the new Con
gress is undertaking this work as sec
ondary only to insurance against in
ternal ions I warfare. Congress solved
the hanking problem seven years ago
os li non-partisan issue. In which ail
the people Had a common Interest, afid
Congress evidently is tackling the
railroad problem with the same spirit.
While the many plans that have
been proposed differ in the methods
| to he adopted in reaching the desired
goal, It has been pointed out by Sena
tor Cummins of Iowa that all 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 hill that will meet with
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 in this.Congress because he
is the ranking member of the Interstate
Commerce Committee of the United
States Senate, and it Is in this com
mittee that the new railroad bill will
take final form. In an address before
a national meeting of business men
at St. Iaouis Senator Cummins stated
that since the close of the war fully
thirty complete plans for new railroad
legislation had been submitted to him
by business men, economists, bankers,
ruilroad officials and owners, Govern
ment officials, railroad workers aud
Just plain citizens.
The basic principles upon which all
of these plans, with oue exception,
agree are as follows:
1. Private operation la more effi
cient and more economical than"'
Government operation, and the
public Interest will therefore be
served by a return of the roads to
private management.
2. To mako 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 on 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 to be the phase of the
problem most thoroughly debated In
Congress The Director General has
been urging that the Government
ought to guarantee a certain return
and share in any excess earnings.
Leading hunkers, especially some of
the international bunkers in Wull
street, who have in the past marketed
many hundreds of millions of railroad
.Securities, also look favorably 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.

« faction to Georgia people by the scientific fitting of glasses
His 12.000 and more patrons haye spent many happy days and year
ill relief from error of the eyes, because of his exactness in tee ing
their eyes and fitting glasses.
Government Guarantee Opposed.
But the proposal that the Govern
ment shall guarantee the interest and
dividends on private capital invested
in railroads will undoubtedly meet
with very vigorous opposition in many j
quarters. Even railroad executives, I
who might lie supposed to take kindly 1
to the idea of a Government guarantee
against failure, have frankly stated j
that they tin not want It, because they j
believe it is un-American in principle,
would tend to lessen efficiency, and 1
would involve the roads in a Govern- I
meat partnership that would Inevita
bly lead to Government ownership.
