NatIOnal-Alexand Carlisle In
aThe Country Cousin"

The hearty reception accorded Alex
andra Carlisle in her clever comedy,
"The Country Cousin" on her return
to the National Theater last evening
after a long New York run Is as
cribable in part to her consistent de-
vclopment of an interesting character
as the heroine of chain Of engaging
episodes.
Plays of American life must
naturally more and more prevail and
none is more entertaining than the
play of simple phrases-the one that
shows the adventures OF plain, whole
some and courageous people in con-
trast with certain other types
dwellers in the city-affected, super
ficial. inslncere. the wasters of society.
1.-The Country Cousin Is sufficiently
we'll made. with an abundance Of
bright comedy, and there is a whole
some story that an audience cannot
help following closely, and enjoying 1t
thoroughly. Alexandra Carlisle's por-
trayal Of THE Country Cousin" who
knows all that glitters is not gold, Is
fine piece of playing. Miss Car
isles personality, and the easy as
surance with which she scores her
points. are delightful. She saved from
ruin the small-town girl enamored
Of life in the fast city set and also
conceited young man from his mis-
leading environment. Alfred Lunt is
quite as effective as his predecessor In
the role of George Tewksberry Rey-
nolds, Sd, the affected young New
Yorker. He conveyed very clearly
how this attractive Country Cousin"
from Ohio brought out his innate
manhood, and caused the foppish ye-
neer of polite society to drop away
from him.
Donald Gallaher repeated his amusing
and effective picture of the country
boy lover Of Beatrice Noyes. the girl
seeking adventure in the fast
get. Clara Blandick was good as the
society vampire who used this young
girls love for her father to secure
her fortune in order that she might
live a life of ease and pleasure. Louise
Prussing, Charles Mackay and several
others in the company assisted in pre-
senting this Tarkington-Street comedy
mot a great play, but very pleas
ant evenings entertainment.

Railroad Legislation
 Wanted by President
 Embodied In Bill

Washington, January 1.-The admin istration bill for government operation of railroads proposes that the government shall pay compensation at an annual rate as near as possible to the net operating income for the three years ended June SO 1917. The bill also would appropriate s5o0,096 900 to be used as "a revolving fund.- with the excess earnings of the roads for the operation of the law.
 The bill is entitled "a bill to provide for operation of transportation systems while under federal control, for the just compensation of their owners and for other purposes.
 JUST COMPENSATION
 Section l provides that the President ! is authorized to agree with and guaran- tee to the roads that during the federal control they shall receive as just compen- sation an income at an annual rate equivalent, as nearly as may be, to the roads average net railway operating in- come for the three years ending June 30 1917. This the bill officially calls the standard return. This section provides that the net railway operating income is lO BC computed lFOlH TeluTHS lO lle ll- terstate commerce commission, including debits and credits arriving from the ac- counts which are called in the monthly interstate commerce commission returns '1eased road agents and miscellaneous rents"
 EXCESS EARNINGS
 No federal taxes in excess of taxes as- sessed during the year ending June 3o 1917, arc to be charged against the rev enue in computing the standard return Any new railway operating income in ex- cess of the standard return is to be the property of the United States. The amount of the standard return accruing during the three-year period is to be de- termined by the interstate commerce commission, whose certificate as to the amount is to be taken as final and con- elusive for the purpose of the agreement and guaranty. During the federal control adequate depreciation and maintenance of tho properties of the roads will be included as part of the operating ex- penses or provided through reserve fund, in accordance with principles and rules which the President will determine
 DECISION ON CLAIMS
 Section provides that if no such agree menr Is made with a road the President may nevertheless pay or cause to be paid

now be possible sufficient econo- mics can be effected in the opera tion of the railways to make 1t possible to add to their equipment and extend their operative faeili- ties as much as the present extra- ordinary demands upon their use will render desirable without re- sorting to the national treasury for the funds. If 1t is not possible, it will of course be necessary to resort to the Congress for grants of money for that purpose. The Secretary of the Treasury will ad- wise with your committees with re- gard to this very practical aspect of the matter. For the present, I suggest only the guarantees I have indicated, and such appropriations as are necessary at the outset of this task. I take the liberty of ex- pressing the hope that the Con- gress may grant these promptly and ungrudingly. We are dealing with great matters and will, I am sure, deal with them greatly"

 be fully and unreservedly thrown into a common service, without injurious discrimination against particular prop critics.
 "Only under government adminis- tration can an absolutely unrestricted and unembarassed common use be lulled from all embargoed trucks, stations. terminal facilities and equip ments of every kind. Only under that authority can new terminals be con strhcted and developed without regard to the requirements, or limitations Of particular roads.
 CAREFUL OF RIGHTS
 "But under government administra- tion all these things would be possi- ble, not instantly. but as fas as prac- teal difficulties which cannot De merely conjured away, give way pe- fore the new management.
 "The common administration VIII be carried out with as little ols- turbance of the present operatihs organizations and personnel ol the railways as possible. Nothing Will he altered, or disturbed which II IS not necessary to disturb. we are serving the public interest ana safeguarding the public satety' but we are also regardful or the m terest of those by whom these great properties are owned anu glad to avail ourselves of the eX- nerience and trained ability of those who have been managing
 
 transportation of troops and of war nater,als of food and of fuel, and of everything that is necessary Tor tha full mobilization of the ener- ries and resources of the country should be first considered, but it Is clearly in the public interest also. that the ordinary activities and the normal industrial and commercial life of the country should be in terfered with and dislocated as lit lie as possible, and the public may rest assured that the interest and convenience of the private shipper will be as carefully served and safeguarded as it is possible to serve and safeguard in the present extraordinary circumstances
 ALL MUST GIVE WAY
 While the PreStdent sent authoT- ity of his word to executive or ficers of the administration course to all private interests, these must for the present give way to the public necessity, it is. am sure you will agree with me at this time. right and necessary that the owners and present creditors of the railways, the holders of their stocks and bonds, be assured by receiving from the government an unqualified guarantee that their properties will be maintained un- impaired throughout the period of federal control, and as in good re- pair and in as complete equipment as kept at present; and that the several roads will receive under federal management such compen- sation as is equitable and just alike to their owners and to the general

public. I would suggest the aver age net railway operating income of the three years ending June 30, 1917. I earnestly desire that these guarantees be given by appropriate legislation and given as prompt ly as circumstances permit.
 ESSENTIAL JUSTICE
 q need not point out the essen tial justice of such guarantees and their great influnece, and signifi- canoe, as clements in the present fianancial and industrial sitaution of the country. Indeed. one of the strong arguments for assuming control of the railroads at this time, is the financial argument. It is necessary that the value of rail- way securities should be justly and fairly protected, and that tho large financial operations every year necessary in connection with the maintenance, operation and devel- opment of the roads. should during the period of the war, be wisely re- lated to the financial operations Of the government.
 FIRST DUTY
 "Our first duty Is. of course, to conserve the common interest and the common safety and to make certain that nothing stands in the way of the successful prosecution of the great war for liberty and justice, but it is also an obligation of public conscience and of public honor that the private interests we disturb should be kept safe from unjust injury and it is of the utmost consequence to the govern ment itself that all great financial operations should be established, and co-ordinated with the financial operations of the government. No borrowing should run athwart the borrowing of the federal treasury, and no fundamental industrial values should anywhere be unnec- essarily impaired In the hands of many thousands of small investors in the country as we'll as in na- tional banks, in insurance com panies, in savings banks, in trust companies, in financial agencies of every kind, railway securities, the sum total of which runs up to some 10 or II thousand millions, consti- ute a vital part of the structure of credit and the unquestioned solidi- ty of that structure must be main- tained naturally.
 M'ADOO RIGHT MAN
 '"The Secretary of War and easily agreed that in view of the many complex interests which must be safeguarded and harmonized, as well as because of his exception al experience and ability in this new field of governmental action, the Hon. William G. McAdoo was the right man to assume direct ad- ministrative control of this new executive task. At our request he consented to assume the authority and duties of organizer and direc- tor general of the new railway ad- ministration. He has assumed those duties and his work is in active progress.
 Tt is probably too much to ex pect that even under the unified railway administration which will

 create or employ such agencies and enter into such contracts and agree ments as hef shall deem to be in the public interest.
 MATURING OBLIGATIONS
 To provide funds for maturing obli- cations or for other legal and proper expenditures, or for reorganizing rail- roads in receiversbip, carrier may, dur ing the federal control period, issue bonds, notes. equipment trust certifi- cates, stock and other forms of secur- ities, secured or unsecured by mortgage, as the President may approve as con- sisrent with the public interest.
 The same section authorizes the President to purchase for the United States all or any part of these securi- ties at prices not exceeding par and to sell these securities whenever in his judgment it is desirable at prices not less than their cost. Any sums avail able from the revolving fund which is provided in section 6 may be used for such purposes.
 l may execute any of the powers grant ed him through whatever agencies he may determine and may fix reasonable compensation for service. Section would authorize the Presi- dent to extend the federal workmen's compensation law to apply to railroad employees on such terms and conditions as will give due consideration to rem edies available under state compensa- 1 tion laws or otherwise.
 Section 10 gives the President, in ad- dition to powers specifically prescribed, any other and further powers neces- sary.
 l Section II provides that while under federal control the roads are subject I to all laws and liabilities as common carriers, and suits may be brought by and against them and judgments rem dered as provided by law. Except with | the Presidents written assent how ever, no attachment or execution is to be made on any property used by a road in performance of it's common car rier duties.
 | PENALTY FOR VIOLATIONS Section 12 stipulates that any per son or corporation acting for or em- ployed by carrier or shipper or oth- l CT person, who shall fail to observe any of the provisions of the proposed
 law or shall knowingly interfere with or. impede possessio, use, operation I or control of any railroad or transpor- ! tation system taken over by the Presi-
 dent' or shall violate any order or
 regulation for carrying out the law I ShoAi pC SulAty oA d IulSuelneanOr and punished by maximum fine of s5o00
 or, if person, by Imprisonment for
 over two years, or both. 1 Federal as well as state criminal
 statutes where applicable shall apply
 to all railroad officers, agents and em- 1 ployes. Prosecutions will be in federal ] district courts.
 Section IS. the last, provides for the
 indefinite continuance of the law. It 1 makes this brief general provision 1 The federal control of transporta- I tion systems herein and heretofore provided for shall continue for and dur- 1 ing the period of the war and until
 Congress shall thereafter order other wise.'
