A PerniCiOuS Lobby

The biggest, most persistent railroad lobby of all
times is in Washington, interfering with war bust
ness and we would like to see President Wilson
take a club and beat it out of town.
This lobby is mainly concerning itself in defeat
ing the administration measure leaving return OF
the railroads to private possession open date to
be decided upon by congress, and in whooping it up
for the largest possible government guarantee of
dividends
Then, there is a strong lobby within the lobby
that is especially concerned in finally beating off
government ownership
The solution of the general railroad proposition
is plain to everyone, save staff lawyers, overpaid
railroad officials and receivers and would be
promoters" Of the Hartman sort. That solution
is centralized ownership and management.
The inefficient management, the rings, the wreck
ings, the gamblings the bankruptcies, the abom-
Unable service of the past have plainly proved this
The present centralized management by the gov
eminent is going to prove it again

ment, the only sort that will be put up with, is

should, and very likely will wholly depend upon
success of the present plan under Director McAdoo
That lobby ought to be sent home to mind its
own business. 1t is lobbying against solidly united
public sentiment. The railroads are part of the
people; the people not part of the railroads. It's
one of our biggest war lessons
