FRANK CRANE (Copyright, 1919, by Frank ( I am in favor of turning the back to private ownership at the pres time. I am in favor of Government Ownership, but not yet. We are not ready for it. When it comes it should be grown, not made, And I think by and by it will come by natural growth. railroads nt The best thing to do now is to hand the | roads back to the owners. But not for the reasons generally put forth. Not because Government Ownership has proved a fail- ure, for the trial it received under war conditions was not a fair test. The Goy- ernment did not aim to make the railroads pay; it aimed to sacrifice them in saving the country. Even as it did not aim to benefit the drafted men, but to use them for the same supreme purpose. But my reason is that, at present, it is only under private ownership that the rail- roads can attract the one essential element that will make them pay and make the country prosperous. That element is BRAINS. The prime essential is making any busi- ness in the world productive—and the big- ger the business the more it is essential— not Labor, not Capital, not Privilege, not Government Support, but Brains. Mr. Ivy L. Lee, in a recent talk before the Rotary Club, said: | “Our railroad system is rapidly breaking down. We need the best brains in the country to build it up. Such brains are | now available. There are Cassatts, Hills and Harrimans in the making. At the end of two years these men will not be avail- able. They will have interested themselves in other matters. Every day pone our decision is fraught with dangers “With lax management the level of ex- penses rises and efficiency falls. Only ex- cessive taxation will take care of such @ situation.
