OWNERSHIP OF RAIL WAYS
BY GOVERNMENT, THEME
W. M. Acworth Regards Proposition
Dubious, Under Democracy, Ovr-
ing to Political Control.

Political control in a democracy is
one of the evils that makes government
ownership of railways of dubious value,
W. NJ Acworth of the British commits
sion which recently investigated Ca
madam roads today told the joint con-
gressional committee investigating
transportation problems in the United
States. He said government ownership
was unsuccessful in most countries
that tried IL.
1t is impossible" said Mr. Acworth,
Ito obtain satisfactory results on gov
ernment railways in a democratic state
unless the management is cut loose
from direct political control. Neither
Australia nor any other country with a
democratic constitution-perhap an
exception ought to be made of Switzer-
land-has succeeded in maintaining a
permanent severance.
In France, Belgium and italy par
interference has never been
abandoned for moment. The facts
show that parliamentary interfere \ ce
has meant running the railways, not
for the benefit of the people at large
but to satisfy local and sectional or
even personal interests. They show
further that under parliamentary man
agement IL is easier to get money for
big schemes of new construction than
for inconspicuous day-to-day better
ments and improvements which prob
ably would produce much greater pub
lie benefit"
Mr. Acworth said some day the peo-
pie might decide to constitute a branch
of government to run the railroads
which would not be subject to popular
and be independent of par
control. Such a board, he
said. might remove many existing OBJ
jections to government roads.

RAILROADS TO CURTAIL
ON PASSENGER TRAINS
every Hour on the Hour" May Be
come Thing of the
Past.

Every Hour on the Hour" as a slo-
gan to advertise Baltimore and Ohio
passenger train service between Wash
ington aad Baltimore, is likely to dis
appear from railway schedule literature.
For the Baltimore and Ohio and the
Pennsylvania lines are in conference
over plans to curtaiI transportation
service in excess of what is necessary
to carry traffic.
Daniel Willard. president Of the Bal
timore and Ohio, chairman of the rail-
way committee and a member or the
advisory board of the council for ma
tional defense, is proposer of the prof.
ect to regulate competing traff1c on the
two roads so as to prevent. as far as
practicable, duplicate service. and so
release much rolling stock for the
transportation of supplies and other
public service.
The general suggestion has been
made by the council for national de-
fense that the railways of the coun-
try, now in agreement to cooperate
with the government in the tremen-
dous transportation problem presented
by war conditions. increase efficiency
in various ways SO that maximum
amount of service may be obtained
from all their rolling stock.
The Erie railway was the first TO
conform Win ehe SuS sSSlioH- - - q.
nounced that this road has abandoned
eighty-two trains.
The Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania railways are in competition,
along their main lines. all the way TO
Chicago. The problem Of regulating
traffic between competitive points IS
being taken up by the two corpora
tions.
The plan, as in tentative form. con-
templates taking off certain trains that
are not patronized to full capacity; 1t
is not anticipated that entire competition
for passenger and other business Will
be eliminated.
