It is now believed in Washington that
President Wilson will appoint die
tator or railroad administrator during
the holidays and that ScAdoo, his
son-in- law and secretary Of the treas
ury. will De the man. Secretary Nc
Adoo has had experience in railroad
finance before entering the presidents
cabinet and financing the railroads is
to be the principal part Of the new
dictators duties. The arrangement
would exist only during the period
Of the war.
The understanding that prevails,
but which lacks any official confirma-
ton, is that during the Christmas holi-
days the President will issue an ex-
ecutive order or proclamation plac-
ing all the railroads Of the country in
the control of the national govern
ment. but leaving their direct opera
executives. 1t will be necessary in
that event, however, for the President
to ask congress for legislation that
will enable him to furnish the railroads
with money to obtain new equipment
and to make extensions that will en-
able them to care for the increased
transportation due to war conditions.
But this money is not needed at once
and the President, it is said, could
conveniently await the reassembling OF
the Senate and the House before pro-
posing his railway financial program.
It has been intimated that the Presi-
dent would not ask congress for au-
thority to carry out his intention tc
take over the control Of the railroads
for war purposes, having convinced
| himself that he had ample power t.
| do this under paragraph in the
Army Appropriation act Of Aug. 20
1916. This paragraph gives him au'
thority to take over and operate thu
railroads of the nation or any part o.
them for the transportation Of troops
and material required by the govern
ment in the prosecution of war.
