They deliberate what they want and decide as to the

HERE cannot be faults. enough in paternalism' to
VI cause any one to vote against government owner
ship for the Baltimore Ohio railroad.
Shippers have complained and the travelling public has
complained but the service grows steadily worse Almost
every train runs late almost every day records wreck
The trouble is that the road not for the benefit
Of the people but for private profit Of the stock owners It
is cheaper to have wrecks than to prevent them it is
cheaper to force shippers to delay shipments than to run
trains enough to handle them it is cheaper to run trains
late than on time because requires efficiency on the part
Of the mechanical employees tokeep the equipment up to
the proper standard and the Baltimore Ohio operates
with cheap scab ''machinists."
The company, by its cheap policy causes money loss
to the public and kills and mains human beings And the
public permits it.
Surely, under government ownership, we could find
some onem9e capable of running railroad than the pre-
sent Baltimore Ohio officials have shown themselves.
