JOBS FOR SOLDIERS.
Efforts to Be Made to Provide Work
For Discharged Men.

Des Moines, Dec. 16.-Every Iowan
and soldiers from other states demo-
bilized at Camp Dodge, near here, will
be assisted to obtain employment Of a
desirable nature and in any communi-
~ he may designate.
Federal and state labor authorities
are cooperating to this end, and a
joint labor bureau has been established
at Camp Dodge as the hub of an elab-
crate plan to enlist assistance Of coun-
" defense councils, chambers Of COM
merce and similar organizations. This
bureau win endeavor to get in touch
with every man as he is dicharsed and
assist him in promptly landing job
Of his own specifications.
Iowa. Minnesota, North Dakota,
Nebraska, Western Illinois, Missouri.
and several other states sent men to
Camp Dodge in the mobilization period,
and as rule they will be mustered
out at Dodge, labor authorities say.
It has been stated that the Thirty
fourth division, which trained at Camp
Cody. near Deming. N. NJ, and which
is made up largely Of former national
euardsmen from Iowa, Minnesota
South Dakota and Nebraska, would be
demobilized at Camp Dodge.
The Eighty eighth division. the first
organized at Dodge, and the Nineteenth
division, now in process Of demobiliza-
ton there. are units that will be brok-
en- up at this camp, while the distinctly
Iowa units Of the Rainbow division
the 1ssth infantry-also will be sent
here.
The Camp Dodge bureau will enlist
as many men as possible for farm work
and encourage those recruited from
farms to return to them, as the de-
rnand for farm labor in Iowa and other
agricultural states next spring is ex-
pected to be tremendous.
J. c. Nietzel, Davenport, Ia, in
charge of the camp bureau, said that
discharged man with no definite posi-
ton in view, should get in touch with
| the bureau. The bureau then will
communicate with the cooperating
agencies in the community the soldier
favors. and II possible the kind Of en-
| ployment asked for will be obtained.

| railroad operation the country shouS1
be divided into regions and that the
railroads In each region should be oper-
ated by one corporation. He would
not, however. have such unified con-
troll as to eliminate entirely COMPETE
ton in service.
Would Provide Service Competition.
There would be no competition In
rates because the rates would be apso-
utely fixed for each section OF the
| country. But he would provide for
| competition In service by forming
operating regions so that two or more
would extend between the same gem
eral centers.
Thus, he would have the Pcnnsyl-
vania in one region and the New York
Central in another, SO that between
New York and Chicago there would be
a chance to demonstrate better man
agement by one or the other OF the
corporations.
To eliminate the evil OF unearned in
crement as n basis OF capitalization,
which is the chief evil under private
ownership and which has operated in
this country to keep rates constantly
advancing with every increase in the
value of the railroad property, govern
ment ownership is a virtual necessity,
Senator Cummns thinks.
How They Would Be Acquired
He would, therefore. have the gov
eminent take over all the railroads,
exchanging for existing railroad stocks
stock issued by the government, with
dividends of per cent guaranteed. The
value of outstanding railroad securi-
ties Senator Cummins would be will
Ing TO have determined in accordance
with the average market quotations OF
the different stocks thruout a reason
able period of time. He thinks IL pos
stble that this would give the railroad
stockholders more than they are
actually entitled to, but figures that in
efcctirg results of such obvious bene-
At to the public the question Of a few
billions is. after all. small matter.
The transformation OF all present
railroad securities into government OBJ
legation would mea nthe immediate es-
adjustment of great volume Of
stocks of value, which would become
the basis Of enormous business credits
and which would tend to stabilize
values of every kind.
Another immediate effect would be
to reduce the annual dividend bill paid
by the shipping and travelling public
about s25o,Oo 900 annually.
Open for Suggestions.
Senator Cummins is quite DESTROYS
that he should not be regarded as COM
mitted to this plan, If a better one is
proposed. He declares his intention OF
keeping an open mind so that ne can
accept or oppose any proposition which
may be offered as an effective solution
of the problem.
But the senator is committed TO the
necessity Of working out some entirely
new plan Of railroad ownership and
operation in the United States. He is
convinced that the old conditions will
never be restored, and that business
and the public should be prepared for
the great changes he believes newt
able.
