GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP ULTIMATELY,
WHY NOT NOW? ASKS NORTH DAK0TA'S
RAILWAY COMMISSION IN STATEMENT

The North Dakota railway commits
sion sees in President Wilson's ia
king over of the railways, a course OF
which It thoroughly approves, first
step toward ultimate government own
efsaip Of railways, which the state
rail board endorses.
A statement on this subject, pre-
pared by Rate Expert James A. Little
and presented some time ago before
the Newlands committee, has been re,
vised at the request Of the Utilities
Bureau OF Philadelphia for publication
in the February issue OF Public Utili-
ties,' a high grade technical period
ical published by this bureau. In this
article the North Dakota railway COM
mission takes the stand announced by
Secretary of the Interior Lane as a
member of the interstate commerce
commission, several years ago, when
he stated in reviewing the Burlington
case in which the railway company
claimed a right to earn a reasonable
return on present value Of $53O.OOo,-
900, representing an Investment OF
only $25S,000,O00: .,-
III the position of the Burlington is
sound and is precise expression OF
what our courts will hold to be the
law, then, as we are told, there Is Ger
tainly the danger that we may never
expect railroad rates to be lower than
they are at present. On the contrary,
there is the unwelcome promise made
in this case that they will continuous
ly advance. In the face of such an
economic philosophy, if stable and
equitable rates are to be maintained,
the suggestion has been made that il
would be wise for the government to;
protect it's people by takinl, to itself
these properties at present values,
rather than await the day, perhaps
80 or 80 years hence, when they will
have multiplied in value ten or TWEEN
ty fold"
Following up this line of reason
ing, the North Dakota railway com
mission says in favor of government
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1918-01-02

ownership: I'm various rate cases the
railroads have insisted, bot hin court
and before the interstate commerce
commission, that they should be per
mitted to earn interest on the value
of their property which they claimed
to be from 1876 to 40 per cent OF
their capitalization. Tie total capital
ization of our railroads is approXi'
mately $4,000, 00O,000; 1855 pct of that
amount is $23,907.7 0S,O00, ana 40 per
cent is S26, O1O, 100000. Therefore, they
seek returns on from $S,6O7,7SO,O0O to
$40, 100000 in excess OF their en-
tire Capitalization This means thai
the railroads would distribute melon
Of this amount to their stockholders
without the payment Of a single cent
to the company or the addition or q
single mile of track or train of cars
to the property, and that the public
would have to pay at six per cent an
annual charge Of about 600 million
as interest on this melon. in addition
to interest on the securities outstand
ing, which include the water from
other melons of bygone days.
"The railways must forever re-
nounce all such unjust claims and de-
vote themselves exclusively to the
business of furnishing transportation
and improving their service, or the
government must retain possession of
the railroads artef the war.
= "Under these conditions, we believe
that government ownership must be
adopted as a permanent policy"
Summed up, the railway commits
sion's argument is this: Government
ownership of railways ultimately will
)e forced upon the country by the
railroads themselves. When the rail-
ways are taken over, it must be al
their face value. That value never
will be less, and II Uncle Sam intends
to buy in, or knows that sooner or
later he will be compelled to buy,
whether he would or no, there never
will be time when he can strike
better bargain.

tunlty to insert here that French
fles are occupying most of the al,
space In this room, and while they
closely resemble our own English OF
house species, the latter are civilized
compared to these foreign demons.)
Il wish you could have been with
me in parts of the trip we made. in
coming over here. Other parts would
have been too much to wish on any,
one. The trip across the deep. blue
water was indeed, a revelation. The
water was really blue all right and
while none of us tested the depth. we
were willing to take the geography's
word for that. One of the boys made
the remark that there must have
been lots of rain in that country. -
We had a couple of really rough
days and the good old scow we were
on did a few circus stunts, proved
the theory Of gravitation backwards
and caused quite bit of anxiety
among the wounded. Just at The
pause in one of the rolls, when bets
were made on the outcome (meaning
whether she would come back up or
would complete the circle) one farm
er got off one that has been adopted
by the whole regiment. Everyone
was gripping the raiIor sliding down
the deck, when this fellow yelled:
Hold, her, Newt! She busted a sur
cingle!" The same phrase is now ap-
piled to everything that it likely to
get loose.
After disembarking we were plac-
ed in what is termed rest camp for
a few days. The word, rest, surely
can't have just the same meaning in
England that it implies in America.
Scotland is by far the most beautiful
country have seen, though it is just
like is was the last time I was here
Two hours after crossing the border
into England we were Red Crossed
at Derby. Six hours after that we
were Double Crossed at Romsey, a
case of British rations. Am positive
that the English expression, fed up
is figurative in the extreme. Stayed
in England two or three days. Arrived
in La Belle France, we went to an
other rest camp, (brother to the first
one.) After a few days we en-box-
