Washington. Dee. "A system OF
regional railway commissions would
greatly expedite the adjustment OF
rate disputes and Of rates 70 trarne
conditions. A. P. Thorn. representing
the Railway Executives Advisory
Committee, told the Newlands JOINT
railroad committee to-day.
Representative Sims asked II Fed
eral incorporation would not nulliiy
such state laws as the full crew" acts
of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Mr.
Thorn replied that the effect would de-
pend upon the form Of the act.
Mr.. Thorn submitted statistics bear
ing on railroad earnings and showing
considerably less net income than was
indicated by Senator Cummins's ques-
tons Yesterday. Net operating income
OF the railroad was SslS,3OS,459 IN
1910. The statistics show a fairly reg
uiar decrease 70 1915, when net oper-
sting revenues were S6ss,958,24S. in
1910 net operating income and income
from securities owned by carriers
amounted 20 ses7.s11,467; in 1915 this
figure fell TO ss1s,3O7,296.
Mr.. Thorn believes railroads should
be permitted to earn a surplus in the
interest Of financial stability, but Sen
ator Cummins argued that it was not
proper 70 earn dividends on invested
surplus.
aI don't agree to that" said Mr.
Thorn.
Senator Cummins pointed out that
one railroad is sometimes able to pay
large dividends on a rate basis which
means bankruptcy for another road. tic
asked what should be done about this
situation.
IN the one road has not injured the
rublic by the rate which allows II to
earn a large return it should be al.

Senator Cummins said that Federal

"That is a method that simply de-
ludes the public" said Senator Cum
Minis. "Why not come at once 70 al

This stock is now discredited and IS

Mr. Thorn said that it would be hard

Presently. we went back TO the mar

crowding around and again patting the
horses nose. All the creatures meek

But the crowd was angry. Some
women shook their fists. Then whisp-

A Suggestion in Efficiency
Germany cannot afford TO have one
worker starve. Why not seize agra
rian land and set officials and card in

moro profitable TO pay for such work
than card cataloguing? Why bother
with cards? Why not establish eating
kitchens and let everybody who IS hun
CRY eat at meal times. Card catalogu-
ing might be used to see that each one
worked, but both rich and poor could
be given food at government kitchens
and share and share alike.

in line. Their servants do this for
them. Besides chickens and birds AZ

Foundation Of Monopoly.

1 Outside of Congress, the fact has long
been known that monopoly of pipe lines
has much to do with sustaining the
bower of the Standard Oil Company.
Now the Federal Trade Commission has
Informed Congress that private owner
thip of these lines enables the Standard
Dill Company to shut out Independent
tehneries. So if Congress wants to abol-
ish oil monopoly it must do away with
private ownership of pipe lines. Failure
to take such action must be due to I'M
willingness to interfere with monopoly.
If the Federal Trade Commission
should investigate further it will find
that the Standard Oil Company is not
alone in possession of monopolistic pow
er founded on special privilege Pipe
lines are natural monopolies. like rail-
roads, telegraphs and similar public
utilities. Their private ownership de-
Ponds on special grant by the govern
ment of the privilege to occupy for GER
tain purposes the space needed for pub
lie highways. There is a fundamental
difference between private ownership of
these and private ownership of bust.
nesses which are not natural mOnop-
olies. The Commission will find, If it
investigates, that the power of many
artificial mOnOpolies is founded on priv
ate control of natural ones. It will fur
thermore find that tariff privileges sup
port many more. And it will find mon.
opoly of natural resources to be the
support of by far the greatest number
of artificial monopolies. The remedy is
obvious. But the more obvious a mat
ter of this kind is the harder it seems
for the average Congressman to see it.
The Public
