sUEING THE RAILROADS.

Indecision has been general as to
the probability or possibility of sue
ing the railroads for injury or for
the death of relative under govern
ment control. The terrible wreck
near Columbia Monday when twelve
persons were killed and many in
jured caused some speculation on
the subject but it has been definitely
stated by Director-General McAdoo
that government control of the rail-
roads does not bar recovery of dam
ages, and this is taken to mean that
the railroads may sue and be sued
as before the government assumed
operation, the only difference being
in the manner of collecting judg-
ments secured. Executions cannot
issue, and a judgment will be col
lected as in the case of one against
a municipal corporation.
AS a result of the wreck at Frost
number of suits against the rail
road will likely be filed and they
will go into the courts just as did
suits before the government took
over control. There will be no diff
ference. In fact, when brought
down to details in most any Incl
dent, government control Of the
roads is hardly seen or felt by the
average patron.

THE RAILROADS AND NEWS
PAPER ADVERTISING.


The Charlotte Observer advances
the idea that those of the papers,
however, that are talking of making
a campaign of reprisal-who are
disposed to make threats against the
dministration-ough to be imme-
diately gagged" The Observer is
referring to the cancellation of con-
tracts for newspaper advertising by
the railroads on mileage exchange
basis, and suggests that the printing
of the schedules in the newspapers
is of such benefit to the public that
MIR. McAdoo will probably find it "a
proper matter for reconsideration.
The News is disposed to treat the
matter as business proposition.
The newspapers would profit by an
exchange of real money with tho
railroads; that is pay for the trans
portation used like other business
men pay, and let the railroads pay
real money for their advertising
There is no threat of "a campaign
Of reprisal against the admin
istration" in that. However, it is the

will feel in a lesser degree the call
OF the government for free space"
if the government is charged with
responsibility in the matter of cut
ting off the exchange mileage. The
Observer, evidently considers news
paper mileage as bearing ear-marks
of free pass" while there is moth
ing free about it. During the past
year most railroads put the exchange
on cash basis" agreeing to use
so many inches at so much per inch
regular rates-but to pay for
same in mileage at so much per
mile. Many newspaper men felt
that unless they used the mileage.
they were not getting value receiv-
ed, while the railroads in some in
stances got their advertising in ex-
change for mileage which was never
used
The railroads, either under gov
ernment control or by direct con-
troll, would be willing to pay for
their advertising and the newspa-
pers should be willing 10 pay for
their transportation, while the mile
age exchange may be. as the OBJ
server says, IAN entirely legitimate
arrangement" There is no more
reason for a general custom to that
effect than one providing for the ex-
change of the clothes the newspaper
man wears for the advertising the
merchant uses. Publicity in one
form or another, is necessary to the
railroads, even under government
control and while the necessity for

war is over and perhaps before, the
