SUPREME TEST OF

The supreme test of the railroads
probably viii come in 1918, says Sec
rotary McAdoo,. director general Of
railroads, in a formal statement. 1t
follows:
"This new task is OF great magni.
tuds and diffeulty. 1t cannot be done
IN a moment, and It cannot be done
ct all nnless the people OF the United
States. as well as the officers and
employees OF the railroads, give TO the
railroad director their intelligent and
patriotic support earnestly seek
the cooperation and assistance OF
every good citizen in this great work.
'The operation OF the railroads as a
thoroughly unihed system is Of funda-
mental importance to the success Of
the war. without IL, we cannot get
the effective use Of our resources.
The supreme test in this war will

probably come in the year 1918. Vic
tory will depend upon our speed and
efficiency. We can get neither speed
nor Efficiency unless the railroads ara
equal to the demands Of the situation.
81 can only say at the moment that
the problem viii be taken hold OF
vigorously and that plans and policies
viii be announced from time TO time
az rapidly as Il Is possible 70 mature
them. Meanwhile. the business will
be conducted through existing rail-
road organizations with All the sup
port and power OF the Government as
serted in behalf OF more efficient and

One Of the most interesting
phases OF the new order OF the
President for Government opera
ton OF the railroads and tram
Sportation lines IL that Director
General McAdoo will have pow
or. n he chooses to exercise It.
to kick out railroad officials.
The order plainly makes It pos
sible for the director general to
take the handling Of 4 railroad
out Of the hands OF It's officials
or directors.
Under the circumstances it was
pointed out today. It may be ex'
pected that when director Gem
eral MeAdoo issues orders 70 the
roads they win not be disputed.

II Is not likely that any large number

In their history.
In addition to the financial reason
for picking Mr.. McAdoo. the Presi-
dent regards him as a strong enough
man to issue orders to tho railroads
and have them obeyed without quib-
bling.
when the Government takes over
the roads at noon tomorrow, 1t Is
probable Il will mark the end OF
private management Of railroads in
the United states for ell time. IN
other words, It is doubtful II the
Government will ever give up the
roads, and Il IL probable that Gov
eminent ownership will follow on The
heels OF Government operation. II
Government operation IL q success,
and IL the war lasts for any con.
siderable length OF time Government
ownership IL almost sure to follow.
The opinion widely voiced among
members OF Congress and officials to-
day IL that the Government, II the
war lasts long, will put large aims
Into equipment and improvements. II
that is done, then Congress will be
loathe to let the roads pass back into
private hands.
win Congestion Endf
The test OF Government operation
will. in part at least, be found i'm.
mediatsly In the question whether Di.
rector General McAdoo can break the
freight congestion and force improve
ments in eAifroAd service which the
| railroad managers themselves have
not been able to do.
II 10 calculated that the property
affected by the order OF the President
ls worth about $4,000, 900 900.
unquestionably, one OF the rsasoni
| which impeIled the President to tax,
over the roads was the realization
that sentiment in Congress and II
the country was for II.
That Government operation OF thu
roads will mean ratification OF tn,
transportation system IL expected. i
ts believed Il will add much to Amer
lean efficiency In war. II 10 expected
too. that 1t will mean efforts to CO
ordinate every transportation instru
mentality. such as waterways, ship
ping. and other agencies, with thu
railroads.
FoIISued Advice.
In deciding to announce that thI
Government would take over tht
roads under authority already giver
him, and in deciding to seek supple
mental legislation later, the Presi
dent was following the counsel oI
some OF his advisers in Congress, whS
told him that ~ the Government set
tied the question OF operation frs
and then asked Congress for needet
leGislatin, CongresH would act quick
/ ~. On the other hand, the Presiden
was advised that IL Congress vert
asked TO pass on the question whethei
the roads should be operated by thu
Government there would be intermin

CONGRESS WILL
PASS R. R. LAWS
QUICKLY, BELIEF

senate and House will lose little
time, in all probability. in enaetinE
isEialatIon asked for by the President
10 back up his new order whereby
the Government takes over the opera
ton OF the railroads.
Although there Is difference OF
opinion In Congress a. to the amount
of compensation which the roads
should be allowed. there il strong
sentiment among members that pri-
vate operation has failed and the
IGovernment must take over the lines.
In the matter OF taking over the
roads, the President was advised BY
some OF the leaders in Congress and
In official life on whom he relies 10
make the head OF the Treasury the
head OF the roads. on the theory such
action would at once assure all hold
ers OF railroad securities they had
nothing to fear. and their interests
would be as fully. or more fully, pro-
tected under Government manage
mant a. under private management.
=. Danger AVerted.
The danger that some dtsgruntleo
railroad fnanciers might. attempt to
head off Government operation by de-
pressing securities was feared in Ad-
mlnistrAtion circles.
But with the Treasury head at the
head OF the railroads ana with the
President prepared to go to Congress
TO recommend that railroad owners
be compensated on the basis of the
average net operating income for the
three-year period ended June 30. 1917,
1t is confidently felt here the transit
ton from private to public manage
ment will be achieved with hardly a
financial ripple.
Congress will in all likelihood pass
legislation granting the eompNnsa-
tion which the President will recon-
mend. although there will be opposi-
ton on the ground this compensation
is too high. As matter Of fact, the
average for the three years named
included the period when the roads,
by reason of large Increases in rates

caused by an infamed condition

it is entirely closed, Deafners is
the result. Unless the intiomma-

restored to its normal condition,
