McADOO,S RAIL WA Y CONTROL
PLAN UPSE rs STOCK MARKET
Unsettled Price Movement Follows Firmness-Reasons
Why Continued Government Control of Lines
Would Disturb Investment Outlook.
ny WILLIAM JusTus DoIEs.

The confused movement Of security
prices reflects the inability Of the public
to size UP situation which is becoming
each day more involved as the world
forsakes the emergency machinery of the
war period. Notwithstanding thF spirit
OF caution, however. the feeling Is gain
Ing ground that tho country Is headed
for better times and that the process OF
restoring business to q normal basis is
making consistent Roadway in many in
dustries. Everything IN being done TO
make the country safe for the lower com
modify prices which must be expected
after many months OF capacity business
at an inflated price level. 1t Is always
difficult to cut loose from the emergency
expedients Of a war market. but that is
what the American people intend TO do.
II Me-. McAdoo thinks that the sltua-
| ton will be relieved by continuing the
! railroads under Government control for
| five years II is to be hoped that Con-
gress will not share his view. Such nc
ton could not be other than disturbing,
since governmental enterprise tends con-
stantly to inefficiency, and transportation
is an industry for which our people have
shown the greatest proficiency To
leave the status Of this great enterprise
In doubt. therefors. would worii injury
to millions OF security holders whose in
comes are dependent upon the prosperity
Of the carriers and their physical vel
beinS This proposal by the Director
General OF Railroads has further COM
plicated our overwrousht investment
situation and done real injury TO tbs
markets by injecting the fear that Con
sress might be foolish enough to con
tinue the most dangerous of all war ex
pedients 1--WE years after the emergenc!
for which It was created had ceased t.
exist. Whatever success has ATTENDED
the present system OF Government con
troll has been due largely to the assumo
ton by the Fedsral authorities in man
aging the railroads Of privileges whicl
they had declined to accord to the pri
vate owners.

GROWTH OF IMPROVED ROADS
Inventions, Discoveries and Public I'm.
provements Come When There
Is Strong Demand.

The history Of good roads affords a
striking example of the fact that In.
ventlons, discoveries and public i'm
provements take place only when
there Is an insistent demand for them.
In early times, when each family lived
largely to itself, there was little COM
merce in the articles produced on the
farm and consequently little need for
transportation. AS large cities devel-
oped the demand for roads on which
products might be easily transported
grew.
Two Of the most recent causes for
the improvement of roads have been
pleasure vehicles. Twenty-Five years
ago the bicycle began to come into
common use and the cyclists made q
vigorous demand for roads on which
they might ride. Unfortunately, how
ever, paths for bicycles were construct
ed In many places in lieu of improved
roads. The invention of the automo-
bile, however, has meant a real step
toward better roads.
