Dual Ownership OF Railroads

w LILLIAN j. BRYAN, who was pioneer
w among public men in America in advo-
catinS government ownership OF railroads,
mas proposed Il new program in dealing with
me problem which is to arise when the time
comes TO dispose of the transportation prop
ertles now administered by the President
lie urges that States take over and operate
the purely local lines leaving to the Federal
government the duty of owning and operating
the interstate or trunk railroads.
IN ohering this program Mr. Bryan has
gwen inc country something to think about
ana he should be invited at once to appear
before either the Senate or the House COM
mittee to elucidatc his ideas upon this i'm
portant matter. State ownership of intra-
state railroads is not Il novel idea Virginia
has long been part owner of one OF its
most important railroad properties. Georgia
mas owned two lines for many years Ten
nessee has been financially interested in one
OIL It's railroads, and it has been regarded for
hlty years as proper State policy for in
dlVldual commonwealth TO assist in the
financing Of new railroads
MI. Bryan now urges that the States he
prepared to go into the transportation bust
ness on Il large scale. He takes the view that
government ownership OF railroads is q fore
gone conclusion, and that when the time
comes to legislate upon this question Con-
gress should authorize the purchase of all
trunk railways, leaving it to the States TO
take over their local properties. Those States
which may not be disposed to invest in rail
roads need not be required to do so or
course ana until such States are ready to buy
'"elf loc'l roads such properties might prop
cry DE left in the hands Of private owners
Mr. Bryan does not contemplate with con-
huehce the possibility OF the Federal govern
lheht owning every railroad in the United
states nc thinks too powerful an organiza-
llon might be created in Washington for the
operation OF such system. Moreover. if
the states were to assume the ownership
ana direction Of their own local lines. greater
development might be expected to follow
ana communities requiring TRANSPORTATION
service might be more readily accommodated
