that the government management may not

put the railroads out of politics and retain
the management of the able men whose
genius created our present efficient system
or transportation No complaint can be
made as to this efficiency: no complaint
could be made as to consolidation properly
controlled in its capitalization No attempt
shoufd be made to raid the property of rail-
road investors. No attempt should be made
to destroy or impair the existing values of
their securities. We may be compelled to
validate great deal of the oyercapitaliza-
ton of the past. but IL we can prevent the
decentralization which is sure to come il,
the future under existing conditions we will
DO great service to the American people.

certainty in valuation of railroad property

Automatic Adjustment.

Mr.. Newlands contended that a system of
national railway corporations, strictly con-
trolled as TO capitalization. limited as to
their returns to certain percentage with
taxes mathematically certain, with proper
allowance for an insurance and pension
fund. with proper provisions for Cancellation
of disputes between employees and the rail-
roads, would result in an automatic adjust
ment that would do away gradually with
excessive rates and all the abuses arising
from preferences and Determinations as to
individuals or localities. The tendency he
said, would be to equality and reasonable
ness of service. II we entered upon a sys-
tenn of proper capitalization of these roads,
involving a fair and fixed return In the
shape of dividends. the interstate commerce
commission will hardly ever have cause to
act, and, automatically, the entire admins
tration of these roads will tend toward i'm
Partially In place of Partially, and reason
able rates instead of unreasonable rates. to
the betterment of the roads instead of ex-
haustng the roads, with view to paying
dividends on watered capital.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-04-04
National Ownership.

Under this head, Mr.. Newlands said. the
people would look for simplicity In what
ever plan of relief proposed, and un-
less We unity and simplify the control of
transportation In few thoroughly regu-
lated great national corporations whose
finances and operations can be easily un-
derstood. and whose functions will be en-
tirely taken out of politics, they WILL drift
into national ownership as the easiest solu-
ton.
The argument In favor of a national own
ership is a simple and taking one. Outside
or the United States three-fifths of tho
worlds trackage Is In national ownership
and not single nation that has entered
upon national ownership is inclined to with
draw from 1t. Japan, only recently coming
out of the stress and strain Of a great war
has passed an act for the purchase of ali
private railroads In Japan at cost Of
$3.50, 600 600
The plan of acquiring national ownership
would not be difficult 1t would not involve
the entire readjustment of the present sys-
tenn. 1t would be easy to authorize the In
terstate commerce commission to institute
suit and condemn the shares OF stock Of all
the railroads In, the country engaged In in
terstate commerce, leaving the bonds out
standing as a lien upon the property Thus
the interests of the stockholders would be
purchased by the nation. and the interstate
commerce commission could step into the
position of director OF the various corpora
lions. with their present organization of
officials and employees. and could gradually
work out method OF national administra-
ton.

Exchange Of Bonds.


The present bond issues amount to about
six billion dollars. They bear interest a.
about ~ per cent. For these government
bonds at s per cent and less could gradually
be substituted. and thus an annual saving of
about one hundred million dollars could be
accomplished. No stakeholder could COM
plain II his stock were condemned at the
market rates. and as the capital stock OF
all the railroads Is about six billion dol
lars and It's market value aggregates a
little less, 1t is probable that all the stock
of ell the railroad companies of the coun-
try could be secured for about five or sly
billion dollars, for the purchase OF which
bonds bearing interest at the rate of two
and one-haif or three per cent could be is
sued The present gross revenue of ali the
railroads would be amply sufficient to pay
all the fixed charges OF the companies and
the low rate of interest upon the govern
nent bonds issued for the purchase Of
stock, and produce surplus which would
make ample provision for betterments and
extensions. and also provide sinking fund
which would extinguish the debt in less
than fifty years. There can be no doubt
about the legality OF such procedure
A similar bill was passed unanimously In
the Senate at the last session, authorizing
the condemnation OF the stock OF the Pam
anna railroad
Or, should the country determine to take
hold simply OF the new construction Of the
hands OF the present owners the govern
ment could easily build railroad OF three
