Nicolai Lenine NJ. Zinovieff. Leon

roads $045, 100000, which will represent

says. reflects neither poverty nor
riches" but the committee believes a
majority of the railroads will accept
these terms as just and fair meas
ure of their constitutional rights"
'You committee is of the opinion
that this is the time for war emer-
gency legislation, and not the time to
settle controversial questions concern
ing our future transportation policy"
Chairman Smith said in prefacing his
report. He then took up the compen-
sation section, and added: D
about rs great operating railroads
do over 90 per cent of the railroad
business. The committee believes that
most of these great railroad carriers
will accept these terms as just and
fair measure OF their constitutional
rights. Section i further provides that
ordinary taxes, national and state.
ehall, as now, be paid out Of operating
revenue but war taxes accrulng under
the net of October 3. 1917, are to be
paid by the companies out OF their own
funds. or charged against the stand
ard return. In other words, the hold
ers Of railroad securities are to bear
their own just portion of the war bur-
den"
The committee recommends, the re-
port says, that Improvements made by
the government while the carriers are
under government control should go to
the railroads when they are returned
to the security holders.
This should be arranged through an
agreement between the carriers and
the president
Discussing the provision inserted by
the committee. providing for the
termination of government control 1S
months after the war, the report says:
''There Is also a provision to the ef-
feet that the president may. prior to

transportation systems as he may
deem not needful or desirable, and
may. thereafter. on agreement relIn-
quish all railroads at any time when
