Official Says Future Action In

Agitation in an, effort to compel
the Tri-City Railway company to
abandon the skip-stop system in
favor Of service formerly furnish
ed, in all probability will be
dropped until after a decision has
been reached regarding the COM
Danys petition to the Illinois state
utilities commission for a 7-cent
fare
Davenport city officials have COM
municated with the company ask
ing that the S1ip-stop system be
abandoned and Rock Island officials
have been contemplating the same
action.
Mayor William McConochie
claims that the skip-stop system is
of much less Importance than the
fare increase and that the city
should bend all it's efforts to fore
stall the granting of the increased
fare and leave the matter of alter
ing the skip-stOp system to be TAX
en- up at a latgr date.
Between Two Fires.
Regarding the present system,
John G. Huntoon, general manager
of the street car company, states
that the company is between two
fires. The fuel administration has
requested the company to keep the
skip stop system in force for some
time as the fuel situation is still
precarious, and on the other hand
the cities in this community are
agitating the abandonment of the
present system.

there should appear some clear

Names Courses Open
81 believe that 1t would be ser
yiceable for me to set forth as ex-
pIicitly as possible the alternative
courses that lie omen to our choice.
We can simply release the roads
and go back to the old conditions
Of private management, unrestrlct-
cd competition and multiform regu-
Iation by both state and federal
authorities, or we can go to the OPP
posite extreme and establish gov
ernmentship control, accompanied,
if necessary by actual government
ownership, or we can adopt an in
termediate course of modified pri-
yate control, under a more unified
and affirmative public regulation
and under suah alterations OF the
law as will permit waste1ul compe-
tition to be avoided and a consid-
cradle degree of unification OF ad-
ministratiOn to be effected as for
example. by regional corporations
under which the railways of dehn-
able areas would be in effect com
bIned in single systems.
Development Policy Needed.
The one conclusion that l am
ready TO state with confidence, is
that it would be a disservice alike
to the country and to the owners
OF the railroads to return to the old
conditions unmodified. Those are
conditions of restraint without de-
velopment. There is nothing al
nrmative or helpful about them.
What the country chiefly needs is
that all its means of transportation
should be developed, its railways,
its waterways, its highways, and
its countryside roads. Some new
element of policy, therefore is alb
sOlutely eceSSary-neceSSa Tor
the service OF the public, necessary
for the release OF credit to those
who are administering the rail-
WAYS. necessary for the protection
of their security holders. The old
policy may be changed much or lit
tie. but surely it cannot wisely be
left as it was. l hope that the
congress will have a complete and
impartial study of the whole prob
lem instituted at once and prose-
cuted as rapidly as possible. l
stand ready and anxious to release
the roads from the present control

cerned.
Duty to Go to France.
ct welcome this occasion to an
nounce to the congress my purpose
to join in Paris the representatives
of the governments with which we
have been associated in the war
against the central empires for the
purpose of discussing with them
the main features of the treaty of
peace. l realize the great incon-
Veniences that will attend my leav-
ing the country, particularly at this
time. but the confusion that 1t was
paramount duty to go has been
forced upon me by considerations
which I hope will seem as con-
elusive to you as they have seemed
to me-"
