JHO WILL OWN THERNLRMDS? William W. Cook, of Corpora tion Fame. Has Some New Thoughts on the Subject. By B. C. FORBES. NEW YORK, May 27.—A man of affairs, well read, far traveled, and a close stu dent of economic conditions at home and in foreign countries, sends a pamphlet with the request that it. be outlined and discussed-, in this column. Its suggestive title is "industrial Democracy or Monop oly? A rian .for the Public Ownership of Our Railroads." By "Public’' is not meant government ownership. The author is somebody in the corporate field, to wit, William YV. Cook, of “Cook on Corpora tions’’ Rime The subject treated is time ly. for just a few years ago appeared the announcement that the railway president and labor representative selected to ap point other five members of a commission to Arbitrate the engineers' dispute can not agree, so that government officials will have to choose the other arbitrators. The future control and management of t American railroads is unquestionably one of the gravest problems confronting the nation. Are we drifting toward govern- Hi£nt ownership? Or can that be avert ed? If so. how? Mr. Cook, unlike most critics of current proffers a solution. Before thereon let us explain his proposal. Which shall control-the railroads Shall men allow their employers (the corporations! to be controlled by capital in a few hands, or shall men be free and capital he subject to their control, direct ly or indirectly? Mr. Cook asks. The downfall of the Roman republic occurred when the privileged classes absorbed the nation's wealth. How will it be in our own republic? . ■ The issue is "Socialism or Not?” Mr. Cook contends. ♦ • • Here is Mr. Cooks plan, "which will combine the advantages of capitalistic or ganization and monopoly with the advan tages of a widely diffused control. "I propose that the control of the (rail road! stocks of our country be taken from these security.holding Institutions of Wall Street and placed in the control of a se curity "holding’ corporation administered for the investing public of the United States. i . •Tor doing this 1 .propose the following method: Congress should incorporate a railroad ’holding company.’:wlth a capital stock of twenty-five billion dollars. It has clearly the constitutional right, to do this. In the charter, congress could name the first directors —men of the highest character and reputation, chosen from different parts of the country. They could be self-perpetuating. The dividends on the stock could be limited, say to 3 per cent Those dividends could be guaran teed by the Federal government. In oon sideration of the guaranty, all sur Pj“ s profits over the 3 per cent could by the terms of the charter go to the govern- I ment. ~ .. 1 “This holding corporation could easily made to acquire by purchase or con- the . omrofc of all the railroads H>f (he cduntry. besides providing funds future extensions and improve fnents of the railroads . B The money detffyep Ji'.sq U’C sale, as ■needed. of the holding company's 3 per <-ent guaranteed stock be. used .to bin the railroad stock* on the market or al private sale or by condemnation. Half of the five billion -par value—of our rail road stocks "‘would give an absolute con trolling majority ot live rajlroad stocks in this country." Ten main roads practically control our railroad transportation and an actual majority of their stock would cast less than a billion and a half of dollars. The holding company's stock “would be equal to a United States bond, or English consol or French rente," would be used as a basis for currency, could be used in shares as an investment for the poor and others, and "*ould be equivalent to a national savings bank for millions of peo pie.” i ■ » • Each stockholder would have but orte tote. . , » If the charter of the proposed railroad holding company for the United States named the first twenty-five directors— men of character, chosen from different parts of the country—and gave them pow er to elect their successors, subject to the approval of the president of the United States, in case of death, resignation or removal for cause. Wall Street would get its proper representation and no more. It would not dominate. If further check were desired, the election of directors might require the approval of the United States senate as well as that of the pres ided* If that safeguard against the cap italistic contra be doubted, the "recall” of directors by vote of the stockholders would be a modern remedy. It (the plan) would not impair the effi ciency of the present railway staff, be cause the present railroad corporations would be continued, the present offieftis and employees and mode of selection, pro motion and organization, retained, with no government officials to interfere. • . I And it would give advantages which | —.government ownership could not give. I* ■jjyould mean the avoidance of vast na- debt and a railroad deficit to be ; :Hnde up by taxation: the preservation of —institution of private ownership of railroad property: and -a more efficient management of railroads than any gov- I hrnment ownership ever did or ever could ! give. It is the utilization of the corporate ■ idea which has proved such an Aladdin’s lamp for modern industries it is avoiding government ownership by keeping the propert' out of the hands of ignorant inters and politicians It will prevent the great republic foundering on the division of spoils. It is not Socialism, it is not government ownership; it is not even di rect governmental control, and it is abso lute!' practical It would nationalize rail roads without political agitation and with out costing the national government a dollar. • • • 1 bard!' think so.

CAPITAL - Si, OOO*OQO SURPLUS - 1,000,000 Designated Depository of the United States, County of Fulton, City of Atlanta. INTEREST PAID ON SAVINGS Widow, Land-Poor 30 Years, Agrees to Sell Farm Worth $20,000 GADSDEN, ALA.. May 27.—After having lived for 30 years almost in poverty rather than sell the old farm and home where she and her husband, John H. Walters, spent their early mar ried life, Mrs. Charity Walters, a wid ow. has at last consented to the prop erty being divided and sold. Conse quently a partition suit? has been filed in chancery court and the title to the property is to be cleared. Mrs. Walters and her son, J, Fourndy Walters, hold a three-quarters interest in the old farm of 40 acres now almost in the heart of Gadsden and worth 1600 an acre or $20,000 for town lots, but as a whole of practically no value as a farm. Ten others each has a one-for tieth interest in the land. Mrs. Walters has until the present time persistently refused to agree to a division of the property, even though tn nedd of the necessities of life. Many, persons since this city has been building up have at tempted to buy lots and build homes on the land, but Mrs. Walters turned a deaf ear to all such propositions. When the estate is now settled by the courts Mrs. Walters and her son will have a fortune of $15,000 if they decided to convert their part into cash. SHOP TALK ■ —I Sime Einstein, of the Globe Clothing Company, leaves today for Cincinnati and New York to purchase emergency stocks of merchandise. Extraordinary business for the past few weeks has caused this well known firm to replen ish their various lines for men’s and boys’ wear. The Biggs Antique Company will continue their sale at 130 Peachtree street for this week only. Thia is a good opportunity for the people of Atlanta to obtain rare qld furniture and antiques of all kinds at greatly reduced prices. Everything is tn readiness for the formal opening today of what gives every indication of being the biggest season in the history of Tybee, the pre mier summer resort of the Southeast. Tybee has put on its best bib and tuck er in preparation for the opening. For several weeks the convict forces have been hard at work getting the Island in a neat and attractive condition. The underbrush on Some parts of the island has been cut and the drain ditches opened, in its summer dress this pop ular resort is certain to present a fine appearance. While Hotel Tybee will not open until May 29/Charles H. Le van’s concessions will be in evidence today, looking after'the want's of the public. The Central of Georgia rail way put into effect a much'improved schedule May 25, with the completion of the oil-burning, cinderless engines the Central is to operate to Tybee, which are certain to increase the travel to the resort. The elimination of dust and cinders will make the Tybee trip a real joy instead of a hardship, a» it has been In the past. The Central is now operating six trains daily to and from- Tybee. J. W. Goldsmith, Jr., of the Fulton Auto Company, is in Detroit on busi ness. Later he will visit Indianapolis to witness the auto races. H. C, Bradfield, of the Cole Motor Car Company, jumped back into At lanta again this week after a whirlwind trip through the Southeast, making friends for the Cole and incidentally In creasing Cole business by Showing his representatives the value of newspaper advertising. Brad, as he is known from coast to coast, is a real live wire. A graduate from Hearst journalism in New York and Boston, with added newspaper experience on the Associ ated Press, Brad is perfectly capable of holding dotin his position with a con cern as large and prominent as the Cole Motor Car Company. Tn Indian apolis he is the real noise in hia par ticular line, and whenever he appears optimism naturally has to prevail. He says he is coming South again. A recent addition to the colony of At lanta motor dealers is the H. Motor Car Company, with temporary quarters in the Collier garage on James street. The new company will handle the well-known HerrescholT line. The HerrescholT oornes in a touring car at $1,150 and a snappy roadster at $950.
