Argus" phrases it, "still owned by their
stockholders" Far from feeling any
concern over the prospects of these
stockholders, this paper thinks it mot
improbable that the dividends will be
greater to the stockholders than ever
before" And it adds that there will GER
tainly be an economy in salaries under
the new order. The salary of railroad
presidents, of course, vary-just as do
estimates covering them. But if you ask
the man in the street what is an average
yearly compensation for railroad pres
ident he will probably reply around $40,-
900 or $4,000. 1t is claimed that as
high as 100000 is paid. Under Mr..
McAdoo's plan the salary will be fixed
at $4,000 or $4,000.
Now, what will be the effect of this
smart decrease so far as the presidents
themselves are concerned, many of
whom, it is said, will be invited to re-
main in office? "The Milwaukee Senti-
nel'' points out that
at takes two to make a bargain, and some
gorgeously paid presidents may decline to
continue IN service at Uncle sam material
ly reduced salary figure"
But "The New York Times" thinks:
''There is little difficulty about the mat
ter of salaries. Some of the presidents are
Indifferent to the pay; others will work
more cheaply for the government than Tor
private employers; others, perhaps, may be
paid both by the government and the com
pany when the matter of subordination is
understood. 1t is a minor consideration at
worst, for the Director General can have
difficulty in finding railway talent at one
price or another"
Indeed" "The New York Evening
Post" is quite blithe declaring that, &C
cording to evidence in "The Times" "thc
president Of railway must devote his
entire time to his job, and to that END
must have salary enough TO relieve him
absolutely of all worry about his finan-

mands of transportation, both passenger
and freight, but instead of aiding the rail
road heads to accomplish these improve
ments, the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion took just the opposite stand and in
every way curtailed the activities OF the
roads and struck at their efficiency

"The public will not be content with the
new policy of the Railroad Administration
unless it is accompanied by adequate ex-
plantations. If there is anything more in
the Director Generals action than appears
on the surface we ought to know what it is
1--WE shall look with particular interest
to see what men are put in the places of
the executives who retire. The railroads
certainly need the best possible managers
at this highly critical time in our national
history"
And in very similar phraseology "The
Butler Citizen" states that "Whether
Director General McAdoo's new plan for
the operation of the railroads turns out
to be an Improvement upon the old one
will depend altogether upon how he mans
the machine.''
Now for the matter of wages and
rates.
Under this head, "Fattening a Bor-
rowed Horse" after quoting the terse
notice issued by Mr.. McAdoo to the effect
that lin order to meet the railway oper-
atlng expenses, pay taxes, rents and
compensation to carriers, it is necessary
to increase the railway operating reve-
nue." The Tribune writes:
"The increase of freight and passenger
rates hereinafter specified will amount to
about s9o0,ooO,o0o year
"Only the day before, with similar brew
ity and dispatch, the pay of railroad en-
ployes was ordered to be increased $780,
100000 a year, agreeable to the recommen-
dations Of the Railroad Wage Commission.
Imagine the uproar that would have
greeted a request from the private owners
of the railroads to raise rates. 5000 900 900
because, for one thing, they had increased
wages $300,ooooO0, and how shrewdly and
persuasively the Clifford Thornes would
have argued that the predatory carriers
were making the public pay the higher
wage cost three times!"
The question may legitimately be
asked, and indeed has been asked,
whether, if the railroads had been
granted increase in rates when they ap-
pealed for it in the past, the present act

man, =. There is dearth Of infor-
nation about the family budgets of the
rch but we are disposed to think that,
especially now that everybody ought to be
as economical as he can, railway presi-
dent could get on fairly we'll with $4,000
year. and still have closed car and
good doctor and dentist"
While many papers applaud Mr.. Nc
Adoo's action freely, and even enthusiast
tically, there are others which are skep-
teal. "The Providence Journal" for
example, noting that "the railroad pres
idents of the country are exceptionally
trained and efficient" declares:
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-06-02

imperative if bankruptcy and collapse
were to be avoided" said "The New York
World" which, with this as preface,
went on to observe:
"While war has intensified these condi-
tions, they have existed in some degree for
many years, with no disposition on the part
of the Interstate Commerce Commission to
meet them adequately. That body has been
quick at most times to reduce rates, but
il has never increased them except after
almost interminable hearings, and then
grudgingly The colossal advance now
made at one stroke would not have been
required if during the past decade the COM
mission had recognized that it's starvation
policy was as deadly for the public as for
the railroads.
"The Philadelphia Telegraph" charac-
terizes the situation thus:
"a few years ago the ffty-two Eastern
roads made a gallant fight to obtain a
freight increase which would add $50 00O,-
600 to their revenue. That was denied
them
"Now, without any debate or fuss, Mr.
McAdoo adds just sixteen times that sum
to the shippers burden, which means ulti-
mately the consumers burden, because Mr..
McAdoo finds that he cannot operate the
roads without more money"
Be that as it may, the fact at hand is
that the wage increase has been made
and the rate advance established The
press generally finds no fault with the
almost simultaneous action. The paper
just quoted argues that "only blather-
sixties and hypocrites even pretend that
government control would mean lower
fares and lower freights at the same
time that employees get higher wages >"
There is naturally some speculation
as to whether government control of
the railroads, now so emphatic reality,
will prove to be too satisfactory to drop
when the war is over.
The most serious difficulty in the way
of such control seems. to many papers.
to lie in the necessary destruction of
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-06-02

competition, with an implied wave Of
progress generally. Thus "The New
York Times" writes:
The deadening effect of government
management without the motive of profit is
apparent beneath the quickening of traffic
by the release of forces forbidden to the
railways by law. For a time it will be ben
efcial. But it will be a sad day for the
country If the railways are truly cured of
enterprise. There are counties as large as
Kingdoms which never have heard a loco
motive whistle and which are not likely to
so long as the Director General rules. Gov
eminent operation is good port in a war
storm But there will come time when
the people will want back what they lose by
1t, and which they will appreciate more as
they sense its loss"
But "The Nebraska State Journal
finds sufficient recommendation in the
fact that ''it begins to look as if the gov
eminent were bent on running the rail
roads with a direct view to public SER
vice"-which, it feels, will be a new
thing And as for the suggested draw
back on business basis:
America began by supposing that rail
ioaoo, competing Win each other IN their
own interest, would indirectly serve pri-
marily the public interest. 1t may have re.
suited so at first. II has not been SO in
the present generation. The roads are now
being welded together under temporary
government operation disregardful of the
ores Of competition. The egg can never be
unscrambled. The sabotage by which rail
roads make work for themselves by keeping
raw material and factory, producer and con
sumner far apart can surely never be re
peated. Public service. not self service. will
have TO be the future business of the rail
roads, whether in public or in private own
ership.
The Tribune. maintaining that what
has just taken place tends to crystalline
government control of the carriers"
asks:
II the Director General by decreasing
higher rates makes the railroads prosn.rors
can the private owneea expect to get thsu
back ?" se' '"e"

uays earlier in removing all the railroad
presidents from Office in pursuance of a
pan whereby Federal managers, directly
responsible to Mr.. McAdoo, will operate

government controlled system And yet
lsSen this, the first radical stroke since
We President took over the roads last

esves, has created less commotion than

As regards this deposition at one

use OF the order is evidently to bring
operation of the various lines at

SHOOT THE SPY
 SAYS PREACHER.
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

CAMP LEWIS, Wyo., May D.
 Shoot the spy when he is caught with the goods, depart the pro-Ger- mans to the fatherland via the sub marine zone and intern the pacific ists," was the militant recommends tion made by Rev. Dr. J. Whitcomb Brougher of Los Angeles during an address made recently to company B, 316th military police. Dr. Brougher. who is pastor of the Temple Baptist church in the California city, was the guest of the military police which is composed largely of Californians.
 pr. Brougher went to the pulpit from the gridiron, having been prominent football player around San Francisco in the nineties. He talked to the men regarding the attitude of the people of the Pacific coast to- ward the war, q subject of interest 10 every soldier in the cantonment. The vim which characterized the speaker when he was in athletics was not lacking in his talk and he was roundly applauded time and again.
 According to the speaker. who spends two weeks of every five visit ing army camps in the west, there has been a great change in the attitude of civilians toward the war. Dr. Brougher asserted that the spirit which has long permeated the east has at last gripped the west and everyone realizes it is a war to the finish. He pointed out the various campaigns waged to aid and back the soldiers who go to the front, and as sured the men the utmost could be expected of those at home.
 Dr. Brougher congratulated the men on the fact that the national army statistics show that a cleaner army, morally and physically never existed. He touched on the simplified religion which is coming out of the war, pit turing the men of the allied armies putting their faith in God while striv- ing to overthrow the enemies of democracy.
 The pastor has just received call to proceed to France as a lecturer for the Y. NJ. C. A. and expects soon to arrange to leave.

TRepublican 4. p. Leased Wire1

MOSCOW. Friday. April 26-Austrian military authorities have sent a wire less message to NJ. Tchitcherin, Bol shevik foreign ministeR threatening to shoot two Russians in retaliation for the execution of any Austrian pris- oner shot when trying to escape, re- ports of which have reached Vienna. The foreign minister denied the charge and demanded proofs, saying that Aus trians in Russia enjoy greater liberty than Russians in Austria and that the shooting of innocent defenseless men has not been heard Of.
 M. Tchitcherin has sent wireless message to Berlin asking permission to remove Russian property from the fortress of Viborg. Finland.
 MOSCOW, Friday, April 26.-Foreign Minister Tchitcherin had addressed the representatives in Moscow of the Uni | ted States. England and France re- ! questing the speedy recall of their consuls at Vladivostok, and an inves- | tigation of their alleged participation | in negotations-said to have been con- ducted between the Pel1ing embassies of the powers named and the Siberian autonomous government. They are also asked to define their attitude to- ward the soviet government and eX- plain what the minister alludes to as | the attempts of their representatives to ! interfere with the internal life of Rus | sia.
 | M. Tchitcherin submitted copies of the documents seized on the person of M. Kolodoff. a member in VladivostoE of the Siberian autonomous govern ] Nuh set fa6 which the minister declares "estab- fishes incontrovertibly that the con- sular representatives of Great Britain 1 France and America participated in | this plot, and that the diplomatic rep resentatives of those powers in Picking negotiated with the counter revolu- | tionary organization calling itself the Siberian government"
 ! These reported negotiations have previously been declared in Bolsheviil quarters to have been projected with a view to the recognition of Siberia by the allied powers.
 M. Tchitcherin also addressed to the Japanese representative in Moscow a communication stating that the let ters taken from M. Kolodoff estab- 1 fish the extensive participation of Jap- anese officials in the counter revolu tionary movement, notwithstanding re- peated official assurances of non-in-
 reference with the internal life o1 1 Russia.
