WILL BEAR WATCHING

Those who are watching the pro-
eres< Of railroad legislation by Con-
creS: 10 fiji the changed conditions OF
government control will see a strong
desire manifested on the part of the
Democratic majority 10 hold onto
good thing; that is, 10 perpetuate
control unduly after the war. II Is
true the first form Of the government
control bill has been somewhat al
tered, and while a gain in the right
direction, it still maintains a Qualitlca-
ton. The declaration that the measure
now contains is that ii is emergency
lesislati ton enacted 10 meet conditions
growing out, of the war That is more
negative, however. than 4 more assur-'
ing affirmation. And. as The Ne"
York Times. points out, there Is an
obvious inconsistency in declaring that
war measure shall continue effective
until Congress shall order otherwise
after the conclusion Of the war. A
measure may be both e1pedient and
constitutional during war and mex
Incident and Unconstitutional during
peace.
The action of the Senate Committee
on Interstate Commerce yesterday
puts a definite limitation on govern
ment control, amending the admins
tratiou bill with provision for re-
Iinouishment Of control within one
year after the end Of the war. This
looks encouraging until we consider
the margin by which the amendment
was adopted, the vote standing to 6.
And not only that, but tho announce
menr of some Of the committeeman
who opposed the change in the Dill
that they would endeavor to have the
committee rescind its action. II they
fail in this, they will submit minority
REPORTS. AS this bill is distinctly an
administration measure. 1t IS presumed
It Is back OF any movement that seeks
to have more definite declaration on
the time of REIMBURSEMENT Of control.

THE THINGS LACKING

After the public eye becomes accus-
toned to the dazzle reflected By the
.extraordinary war plan of the United
States recited by Secretary of War
Baker, in defense OF the charge Of de-
linouenctes and inefticiancy lodged
against his department.. it will BE- found
that the plea in abatement; in no man
ner disposes OF the charges originally
marked up. Besides the marvellous
plan outlined is not an accomplish
ment, but promise. II IS worthy OF
note, however. that Secretary Bakers
demeanor before the Military Affairs
Committee was much more consider
ate and void OF the Selt-suficiency he
DISPLAYED on a former occasion. It
may not have been chastened spirit
he exhibited towards the committee
but 1t certainly was more defernn-
