rates and governed the traffic of the
lines.
Working Out Plans for Months.
The plan now put into effect has
been worked out by the president
| through period Of several months.
Almost Immediately after the United
States entered the war 1t became evil
dent the railroads, under private con-
troll, would not be able to stand the
strain.
The railway heads were willing to
do everything the government de-
manded, but had not the power to
force one road to sacrifice its finan-
cial interests in behalf of the general
good.
In formulating the plan he will
present to congress the president stu
died the system adopted In England
and consulted men experienced In the
results Of the system.
If the English plan is adopted in Its
entirety the government will order that
government freight and officials en-
gagged on government business be car
ried free. 1t then will pay out Of pub
lie funds to each road a sufficient sum
to bring that roads operating income
up to the average of the three years
preceding June 30, 1917.
NcAdoo, while director general of
railroads, will retain the office of sec
retary Of the treasury. as the president
has pointed out McAdoo's authority as
secretary Of the treasury will enable
him to coordinate the many financial
interests involved and which might, un-
less systematically directed, suffer very
embarrassing entanglements."
The attempt of the railroads them
selves to provide this single authority
and simplified organization in the exist
ing railroads war board and its spe-
cial operating committee has proved
failure because Of physical limita-
tons, although the president pays high
tribute to the ability and zeal of the
five rail executives whose efforts have
been devoted to the task.
Will Use War Board.
The organization effected by the
railroads war board will be the
foundation upon which Director Gen
eraI McAdoo will build the structure
Of government control. 1t Is not I'M
likely that some, II not all of the mem
bers Of the war board, will be associ-
ated with Mr. McAdoo in administer
ing the management of the unified
lines.
In his statement the president re-
fers to the defects Of the system Of
unification attempted under private
control. Several railroads have suf
fered financially and physically from
carrying out the orders of the war
board, which require them to be uti-

Funds for Food investigation.

Colorado is one of three states in
the union that has provided funds for
investigation and research work In
food production, conservation and
thrift, the Colorado Woman's Council
for Defense has been advised by a
representative who attended the COS
ference Of the American Association
OF Agricultural colleges. Only ten
states are organized for such work
and only three have appropriated
funds for the work, Colorado being
one and its appropriations being
largely ones made by the Colorado
Council of Defense.
