Lovett, president of the Union Pacific railroad system, for- merly head of the division of capital expenditures of the United States railroad administration, made public here today, included as a fundamen- tal principle the necessity that will give railroad capital “a business chance,” “If congress will enact the neces- sary laws giving railroad capital a business chance,” declared Judge Lovett, “I believe that capital will take a business risk and the money required to provide the requisite rail- road facilities for the future will be forthcoming.” ‘Four Contingencies. The head of the Union Pacific de- clared that, in his opinion, the coun- try is confronted with four contin- gencies: Inadequate and poor serv- ice, government ownership, a federal guaranty of a reasonable return upon railroad capital, or reasonable rate- fixing by a government agency, the latter providing “consideration of the needs of the traffic and the carrier, with the right of each carrier to keep whatever profit it can make out of rates so established, by good govern- ment, good service, economy, wise investment, and success in competing for business.” “ Regarding rate-making, Judge Lov: ett, likewise, favors’ five other fea- tures of the railroad committee’s re- port ag being remedial, and “wise.as 9, national railroad policy,”’ namely; compulsory federal incorporation, ex- clusive federal regulation of securi- ties and rates, the creation ofa de- partment of- transportation in the president’s cabinet, the head of which would have power “to act quickly and deal with‘ emergencies,”. and modification of restrictions upon railroad consolidations and provision for the merging of lines when in the public interest. \ System Must Be: Rescued. “Our jrailroad transportation #ys- tem,” observes Judge Lovett, “which is essentially national, should be res- cued from the irresponsible and: cpn- flicting state agencies, and -brought under uniform control and regulation car-owners which makes everybody anxious that the other should. get all.the benefits going in the handling of his car.

BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE in the natiohal interest) except as to strictly jJoca} matters, : “Without government ownership or operation, the only reliance for rail- road revenue to support railroad credit must be upon the adoption by congress of a sound ra‘lroad policy involving absolute justice to rail- road capital and requiring specifi- cally and plainly that ihe rates to be fixed shall be sufficient to enable the carriers to provide safe and adequate service, to protect existing values and to attract the new capital neces- sary in the public interest.” Railroad investors, according to Judge Lovett, are deserving as much of encouragement, liberal treatment and appreciation as ‘stockholders in other enterprises “with no ‘public in- terest involved.” “No money except that devoted purely to benevolence is employed mpra in the public interest or is entitled to more encouragement or fairér treatment and consideration tian that which’ {gs invested in ‘the construction and development of railroad facilities declared Judge Lovett, who added ‘that’ “it is about time that we were introducing com- mon sense into some of our theories about railroad capital.” CONSUMER LESS PRODUCER NORE; MIDDLE MAN NIK Senator Kenyon Believes He Has Plan That Will Please All But the Packers WOULD LICENSE JOBBERS Declares Big Men in Business Control Market and Fix Prices at Both Ends “Congress will have to .decide whether we are to have government of the public, for the packers’ pocket- ‘hooks, by the packers, or whether, we areto have government of the peo- ple, by the people, for the people. The issue is clear cut. It has, been made so by the, big packers them- selves,: Every. member of this con- gress will have to face the issue of standing by the packers or with the people. The question will come up in concrete’. shape when the senate and the house consider the ills to put the packers under license, to regulate them, and to shake off their clutches from the dairy and poultry business; from the canning business, and from many’ branches of the gro- cery business.” ‘Senator William S. Kenyon, of Iowa, thus summed ‘up the situation, discussing just, what his bill and the bill of Senator Kendrick put up to the solons. Cattle Raiser, ‘*-Consumer, Packer Benefit.

' Small (Prices to Housewives Will Gradually “Pall, : “And if the packerg.are no longer able to control the market in which they sell, and real. competition en- sues, the chances are, despite the food shortage throughout the world, prices to the American consumer will gradually fall. The consumer wilt get some measure of relief. “There is another angle to this thing. Nowadays it is hard for in- dependent little packers to exist. I have seen them put out of business in my own state because the big packers would undersell them. If necessary, they would make prices that were at cost, or even below it. “Of course the small man could not survive. such opposition. The losses sustained by the packers in such a fight in one territory would simply be added to the prices de manded somewhere else, 80 one monopolized territory « paid the freight for the folks who, for the time “being, were getting very low priced’ meat in ‘territory where the packers did not enjoy monopoly ‘but expected to shortly. “If a combination of men dam up a stream they get the full benefit of its waters but interfere with the ordinary flow below. The packers have dammed up the stream by their clutch on things. They have inter- fered with the ordinary flow of eco- nomic results by cutting out compe- “a Tesed SSR LOANS tition and substituting monopoly. “It left without federal —inter- ference they wil soon get to the point: where a few: men ‘meeting at various times will be able to fix the price of everything the housewife prepares for the dinner. table.” ‘Tribune Want Ads bring results, ih FG is elena d omaepet ow TUESDAY, JULY 15, 1919.
