Washington, Dec. 5.--Regardless of whether railroads finally go back to private management or remain in the hands of the government, radical changes should be made in their methods and theories of operation to provide a partial merger under some sort of government regulation. the Interstate Commerce Commission says in it's annual report made public today.
 The commission believes the time is not ripe to recommend concrete proposals for legislation relating to the future policy toward railroads, but says whatever be the nations decision, there should be provision for complete unification of the railways in war time. partial merger in ordinary times, limitation of railway construc- tion to public necessity, and systematic encouragement of the development of inland waterways, and their CO., ordination with rail carriers.
 Opposed to Old Conditions.
 In other words, the commission is opposed to restoration of the old con- ditions of individual competition, in which pooling of traffic was forbidden by law, and to the building of new lines without proof to the govern ment that they are economically necessary.
 If it is finally decided to restore railroads to private management, says the commission. there should be legislation to permit their co-opera- tion, emancipation of railway opera tion, from financial dictation, govern ment regulation of security issues; clearing away of the existing twilight zone. between the authority of state and federal authorities in railriad supervision; efficient use of equipment and common use of terminals.
 On the other hand, if the policy of government ownership should be adopted, the principal questions to be considered are: The price to be paid for the roads; means of preventing the railroads from being made sources of revenue to the government, and also to maintain them as self-sup- porting; measures 10 define carefully the responsibility of the railway ad- ministration to congress and other federal and state authorities; guar antees against intrusion of partisan into railway management, and crea-

Five Alternatives Possible.


 controversies over railroad matters
 Five Alternatives Possible.
 Some sort of government regulation is suggested by the commission in connection with each of the five all teEnatlves of future policy which may be set forth by different interests in the near future. These alternatives are: Continuation of the present system of government control with private ownership, public ownership with private operation, private opera ton with government regulation and guarantees, complete private control and ownership and complete public ownership and operation.
 The report deals at length with the upheaval of railroad relations caused by the war and the governments as sumption of operation, and the re- latons of the Interstate Commerce commission to Director General Me- Adoo and the railroad administration. The commission has co-operated fully with the government management says the report, but the commission still retains it's authority to review rates initiated by the director general.
 Waiting For Uniform Rates.
 Railroad valuation work of the commission, which will become of great importance in case of govern ment purchase, is proceeding with little interference on account of the war Safety work has been assumed partly by the railroad administration but educational work is being con- tinued throughout the country. The commission in the last year has made great strides in seeking to promote uniform rate classif1CatiOns, and has undertaken a number of other in- VestigatOnS of rates and practices.
 The report including the statement concerning future policies toward railroads, is signed by all the com missioners, except George w. Ander- son, who recently resigned to accept another federal appointment. Others are: Winthrop M. Daniels, chair man: Edgar F.. Clark, James s. liar Ian, Charles C. McChord, Balthasar IT. Meyer, Henry C. Hall, Clyde B. Aitchison and Robert w. Wooley.

deavor to divorce himself from John
Barleycorn and while engaged in this
act he upset the entire arrangements
of the sanatorium at which THE

only became spiflicated while taking
the cure, but put all of the other pa
tients in the same condition The

productions ever put on the local
screen and Charlie is seen at his best
and will be shown for the last time
