RAILROAD NEWS


WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 12.-Paul
Morton, secretary OF the navy, formerly
vice president of the Santa Re. Is the
author of an article on the railway rate
question which will be published in a.
weekly periodical tomorrow He in the
outset expressly disclaims writing as a
representative of President Roosevelt's
administration. and speaks only as one
with some extensive experience pertinent
to an important subject. The secretary in
the article says there are very few COM
plants against railway rates per Sc in the
United States, the Chief trouble being with
the relation OF rates as between mar
kets.''
He says there are as many rates that
are too low as there are rates which a.
court would decide to be too high and
that either class of rates may be equally
disastrous to communities, He expresses
railroads is necessary but adds that reg
ulation and projection should go together
He says that one Of the three things
following is sure to take place in the con-
duct of our railroads:
First-Legalizatlon Of pools; the rest of
the railroads to make enforceable con-
tracts between themselves as to diyi-
sion of earnings, so that they can resist
the temptations of big shippers and be
assured a fair share of sthe business NOV
ing at stable rates, which shall apply alike
to all pa irons.
Second-The further unifcation of own
ership, thereby delivering in time the en-
tire railway ownership Of the country in
the hands of a few individuals or one
syndicate.
Third Government ownership, the worst
of the three evils, if such they may be
called.
In the opinion of Mr. Morton govern
ment ownership of our railroads would be
the beginning of industrial and political
chaos.
He rather favors the first proposition
with adequate provision to assure rates
being reasonable.
AS to pending legislation, Mr.. Morton
favors the continuance of the interstate
commerce commission in substantially its
present form.
