SEES FEDERAL
RAILROADS AS
RESULT OF WAR
Expert Tells Senators Gov
ernment Is Likely to Take
Lines Before Spring.

War has brought about a crisis
which private ownership of the rail-
roads can never meet. I believe the
government will take over the opera
ton OF the railroads before spring,
II not before the New Year, and that
they will never again be surrendered
to their owners"
Maj. Smith w. Brookhart, railway
statistical expert, of Iowa, testify
ing before the NewIands Railroad
Committee in the Senate ONCE Build
ing yesterday, made this statement.
He suggested that the committee con-
slider a suggestion on setting a price
on the railroads. His experience
showed. he said that it would be
fair to take the average market price
OF railroad securities for a period
Of years.
In this way, the railroads would
cost the country about SIS. 900. .0o0, ,ooo."
he said.
Maj. Brookhart then explained that
this figure would not force the gov
renment to pay for watered stock,
duplicated stocks. etc.
He declared that government op-
GRAFTON is much to be preferred to
private ownership. He reviewed the
situations in England. Germany.
France, Italy. Belgium. Australia,
New Zealand. Japan and other coun-
tries in which the lines are held by
the governments.
In all of them. passenger and freight
rates are lower than in America he
asserted.
Our rates are the highest IN the
world" he said. I'VE do not ex-
pect our public highways to pay a
profit. And the time is coming when
we shall regard the railroads as pub
lie highways, with the public pay
ing only for their upkeep."
Great Britain's action in 1914. when
the roads were seized by the gov
ernment, was cited by Maj. Brook
hart as an example Of what Amer
lea should do at once.
