statement on the government control
of railroads in which a broadening of
the rate structure is suggested to COW
er increased costs and to avoid the
necessity of congressional appropria-
lions. The statement says
Samuel Rea, president of the Penn
sylvania railroad system, said he was
not prepared at present to make any
inconclusive statement on the pro-
posed government control of the rail
roads. The working features of the
plan are not yet announced, and there
are many divergent results in the sug-
gested three year period preceding
June 80, 1917, on the roads in different
parts of the country.
The plan would, he assumed, be
broadened to provide not only for re-
newing and extending maturing obi
cations, which would be necessary to
stabilize the financial structure Of the
country, but also to provide new cap
ital for additions and bettcrmcnts to
road and equipment. This is impc:a-
lively required to promptly moVc the
war traffic on the Pennsylvania sys-
TEN, and naturally the rate structure
should be broadened to cover the in
creased costs and charges to avoid the
necessity of congressional! aDproDria-
tons, which would have to be made
up by increasing general taxation. In
short the railroads must be made self
sustaining.
"Therefore, he felt the present duty
of the railroads was to study the situa-
ton and confer with the officers or
the government to ascertain the full
scope of the proposed plan and espec
tally to devote their entire energy to
promptly moving the war traffic; rely
ing upon the recommendation and as
surances contained in the proclama-
ton and statement which the presi-
dent and congress will be disposed to
endorse" ~ ' E8&},.y %
