Hazel Rounds How Cuticura |BEST FOR RAILROAD Dean Johnson, Financial Expert, Gives Views on Problem “The outstanding problems of the hour in connection with railroads in- clude: “1. The necessity for the federal control of both intra and inter-state rallroad rates. This question is now before the supreme court of the Unit. ed States. and it is earnestly to be hoped that the court will find consti- tutional that provision of the Trana- portation Act of 1920 which gives the Interstate Commerce commission the power to change state rates that In- terfere with or adversely affect inter- state rates. “2. The consolidation of railroads in accordance with a plan worked out and promulgated by the Intérstate Commerce commission for the pur- pose of eliminating from the railroad family thoso weak sisters whosa in- solvent condition makes them a bur- den to their stronger brothers and o the public. This is a problem of the near future, of the next ten years. 3. T federal Incorporation of all railroads engaged in interstate commerce and the consequent sub- otdination of the railroads as corpora- tions to the United States government. Federal , Incorporation should run on al] fours with consolidation. It thus, also becomes a problem of the next ten years. “4. 'The debelopment of executive machinery for the comstructive rezu- lation of railroads and for the devel- pment of a unified system of trans- portation by rallroads, ‘highways, waterways and posgibly by alrways. This Js a problem of the next t ty- five years during which period ! all the agencies and fachitjes. of trans- portation should be welded together into ‘a unified system - serving all parts of the country with maximum economy and efficiency. “A brief diagnosis of the present rallroad situation leads to the, fol- lowing conclusion: “The cost of operating and of ex- tending the railroads must be brought down and this can be accomplished only (1) when the rallroad execu- u regain control over the man- agement of their business, and (2) when the costs of suppll equip- ment and new plant are made as low as moderate profits on the past of producers will permit. This reduc- tion in the cost of rallway supplies, equipment and plant may be expect- ed to accompany the return of in- dustry to more normal conditions. “The revenues of the carriers must be maintained. The hamper- ing laws and commission rulings of the several states as to Intrastate rates must give way whenever T Jaws and rulings interfere with the unified regulation of railroads by the federal government.

Capital can | come only from private or govern- mental sources. If we permit it to come from government sources, we shall run the risk of fastening upon the country the government ownership of the rallroads. @@ Umbrella wmbrella with the blg spread™ OSE. BROS.

The New Plan. It has been pointed out to members of the legislature that orphan asylums where a large number of children are | lodged do not give proper home train- ing to the children. The new plani is copied after the existing system in | Massachusetts which In turn was cop- jed from the system in France. The | bill calls for a well organized system | of placing -the children in different | homes throughout the state, and that | the foster parents be given compensa- | tion for the care of the child if money ! is needed in that particular home. The state child welfare bureau will take care that the child is placed in the proper home, and will investigate the welfare of the child from time to time. To Save State Money. It is estimated that the amount due | for boarding 404 children in private homes with: supervision by the Child Welfare Bureau would cost annually $121,200. If one-third wero placed in free homes and two-thirds in boarding homes the. cost would ba $91,050. The state would be saved on this item alone over $65,000. The child welfare idea is just being developed and some interesting facts are expect- ed to be given at the hearing before the appropriations committee next Wednesday afternoon, April 20. If the committee approves, the bill will immediately go to the senate as an emergency measure, with recommen- dation that it be passed at once.

Travelling at a moderate rate of speed, the engineer was unable to stop his train before it struck the automo- bile, which was carried along on the front part of the locomotive and then toppled into the ditch.
