PHILADELPHIA, January 10.—De- claring that no government was more unfitted than that of the United States to manage railroads, Elisha Lee, vice president of the Pennsylvania rail- road, in an ad- dress last night before the Fore- men’s Club of the Philadelphia 1In- dustrial Associa- tion, asserted that a‘let-up on regu- lation of railroad business was sential to an crease in geners prosperity. He,at- tacked the theory that 5% per cent on an investment was enough to put new life into railroads. “Government ownership,” he de- clared, “means political management, operation for partisan ends instead of service, higher taxes to pay for the resulting waste, end of progress and a lapse into general inefliciency. It has failed wherever tried. The more democratic the form of government the greater has been the failure. For this reason there is no government in world more unfitted to run rail- s than ours, because of the very pleteness of our democracy.” —_— VIEW DEBT IS ASCONING TOHEAD Congress Expects Tangible "Proposition to Be Sub- mitted by President.
