RAILROADS ARE HANDICAPPED

It may be asked why in the pres
ent emergency the railways do not
more largely increase their equip
ment and other facilities? There
are several reasons: First, prices
are enormously high. A steel hop
per car which three years ago cost
$500, now costs s2,5O0 A Mallet
locomotive which three years ago
cost $4,000 now costs s102, 600.
But there is a more important rea-
son than this one of price. Foreign
governments are competing az never
before in our markets for railway
equipment and supplies. The Rus-
sian railway system has practically
broken down and it has been re-
ported to our government and to
the locomotive builders that the
main thing needed to keep Russia
in the war is to rehabilitate her
transportation system. Russia needs
one thousand new locomotives before
January l, and two thousand new
locomotives next year. II she does
not get them she may cease to be
a factor in the war and that may
mean an increase OF hundreds of
thousands or even Of millions in
the number of soldiers the United
States will have to send TO France.
Now, Russia. If she is TO got these
Locomotives, must get them in the
United States. Furthermore, Eng
land and France will need a thou.
sand locomotives from this county
within the next year. The maxi
mum capacity of our Iocomotive
plants is only about $500 q year.
Therefore, if the railways of 5hs
United States should get all the
now locomotives they need. it would
be impossible for the plants in this
country to make enough for aur
European allies, and the final re-
suit might be very disastrous.

SENATOR ELECT FOR
new School BOARD
Mr.. Wolcott Believes Smaller
Body Would be Better
for Education
BUDGET SYSTEM
ALSO APPROVED

Careful consideration OF the new
educational bill now before the Cen
eral Assembly was urged upon cit-
zens Of the East Side last night by
United States SenatOr-elect Josiah o..
Wolcott who spoke at the Peoples
Settlement
In matters relative to the conduct
OF the public schools, as well as in
other affairs Of Importance, there
should be q small body Of men di-
rectly responsible to the people who
elect them, Senator Wolcott asserted.
Speaking Of the proposed control
OF the budget by the board, Senator
elect Wolcott said It seemed rather
q queer thing that the school board
should have the responsibility OF con-
Quoting the educational system Of the
city without any means Of providing
the funds for carrying out the things
thought necessary for the good OF the
schools. He declared the authority OF
fixing the amount OF the budget and
the raising OF the money to provide
for its payment should be with the
school board, under restrictions, pro
yided in the bill.
The idea of a ward representation
he felt would be unwise as the public
schools are a matter that concerns
the city at large and have nothing to
do with any particular section of the
city
Senator Wolcott was preceded by
Charles Warner, OF the General Ser
vice Board Of Delaware. who outlined
briefly the purposes Of the bill, eX-
planning how 1t came to be taken up
by the General eSrvice Board by q
vote Of a Joint Citizens Committee
