THE RAILROAD PROBLEM

There appears to be a stronger and stronger disposition In favor of such changes in the law as will place the regulation and control of the railroads of the United States at least those en- gagged in interstate commerce, under the exclusive authority of the interstate con- mission. If this were done it would be
 in accord with the recommended tions made by the council of railroad man. agers. which was organized several years ago. The work of that council was for two or three years chiefly that of campaign of education. Among it's rec concentrations was an increase in the size of the interstate commerce commits sion whereby it could be separated into two bodies, one of which would have exclusive control of rates that would be supreme over any state regulation, and the other have exclusive jurisdiction over the field of inquiries and investigation. Judge LoYett is on record as having expressed the opinion that what the railroads and the country need at this time is not that the railroads be placed under the complete control of the govern ment thereby federalizing them, but a means to provide cars sufficient speed fly to transport freight and especially the commodities that are needed for carrying on the war, and for supplying the allies with what they need Judge LovetI is quoted as having said that the railroad situation has resolved itself into question of cars. There is not a road in the United States that does not need more cars. If the government were able to show g. way by which the rail- roads could get these cars, then the rail- way managers will welcome suggestions of that kind. Many think that if as an incident of the concentration of power due to the war in the federal goveru- ment, there should be actual federalizng of the railroads, that would not terminate with thee lose of the war, but would be continued in time of peace.

the chaos and confusion which prevailed in the war department in 1861 that he was at last compelled to make a change. He did this in his kindly way by appoint ing Simon Cameron, his first Secretary of War, as minister to Russia, This was an important appointment and re- suited in great service to the United States a year or two later. through most friendly act of the Russian gov- ernmcnt The President then called to the head of the war department dem ocrat, Edwin M Stanton. who by meth ods which were often called arbitrary, but which were necessary, brought or der out of chaos.
