These provisions of the act safeguard
the constitutional rights of investors
to have their COMPENSATION determined
by due process of law.
One section of the act provides the
president may advance the rate of
earnings for any road increasing its
resources in order to handle better
the wartime volume of traffic.
The companies are authorized to
continue the regular payment of divi-
dents, but extra dividends shall not
be voted without the approval of the
government.
A revolving fund of $500,000,00O
was provided. The president may or
der roads to extend their lines, erect
or expand terminals and make such
other improvements as wartime con-
ditions make imperative. If necessary,
money from the emergency fund. may
be appropriated to meet these expens-
es, with provision that the government
shall be reimbursed. The president
is authorized also to purchase for the
government, at prices not exceeding
par, all maturing securities which are
issued by the roads.
Estimates of maturities for 1918
are $182,6O6,52S; 1919, $1S8,215,O52
1890, $1S6,526,253; 1921, 440,9O5, 1928.
It is specifically stipulated in the
law that the carriers shall remain, as
in their former status, subject to- all
laws and liabilities arising under stat
utes or the common law.
How long to retain government con-.
troll after the war, and whether to
vest rate-fixing powers in the presi-
dent or in the interstate commerce
commimssion were questions that for
time caused disagreements between
the house and senate. The proposal
to establish indefinite government con-
troll of the national railroad system
was voted down in both houses of con-
gress.

Record Catches by Tarponite Anglers

Yesterday was a big day for those
gentlemen in Tarpon Springs who find
fishing an especially fascinating pas
time. Mr.. w. c. Worrell and Frank
Rouse went down the coast, and some
where between Big and Little passes
caught eight fine fish, weighing one
hundred and sixteen pounds. Mr.. Wor-
rell said that the fish bit fine, and it
was an easy matter to pull them in.
Richard Clarkson, Rome Tinny and
Sam Linnell, went out in Mr.. Al
worth's small launch "Nellie," also
going south. They made their haul
at Big pass, where they got three
Spanish mackerel, eleven grouper,
weighing ninety pounds, and twenty

HIS SUSPICIOUS
ABSENCE

A prominent deacon in a we'll
known church was seriously ill. AS he'
was very popular among the congpe-
CATION, bulletin board was posted
IN front of the church to inform his
friends of his condition. 1t read:

worse and sinking rapidly"
Three o'clock. Deacon Jones is
dead"
A wag passing by that evening read
the bulletin, and seeing no one ins
sight, added at the bottom:
"Seven o'clock. Great excitement /,
in heaven. Deacon Jones has not arr
rived. The worst is feared"

and sixty pounds.
Charles Brown, one of L. D. Wilson's
force, and two of his friends, tried
their luck just the other side of the
lighthouse, getting various kinds of
fsh to the weight of eighty-five
pounds.
Now, these stories are sufficient ev-
ldence that those who performed the
stunts are number one anglers and
that the fish were on their good benz y
vior, just as all the gentlemen testi-
fed.
Several other fishing parties went
out but we failed to get the particu-
lars.

WHEN WILL WILSON SIGN BILL
CONTINUED from Page one)

McAdoo director general of railroads.
Engaged in war requiring every
bit of national effort to insure sue
cess, the president believed it was i'm
perative that the government direct
all operations so that adequate means
might be had to expedite troop move
ments, move war supplies, and care
for the generally abnormal strain on
the transportation system.
The flow of khaki-clad men had to
proceed to the ports of embarkation
without interruption; shells, cartridg-
es and rifles had to be moved from
munitions centers; foodstuffs had to
be transferred from the granaries of
the west, and ample provision had to
be made for the output of the mines.
In addition to military needs, the
country had experienced during the
winter of 1917 the greatest break
down and congestion of the transpor-
tation system ever known.
At one stroke of the presidents pen
the roads came under federal admins
tration. Property rights were not
purchased-the government merely
exercised its authority to operate the
lines and provision was made for safe
guarding the proprietary interests of
investors.
At the request of the president con-
gress then set about to enact law
to carry on the step taken as an emer-
gency under the law of 1916.
In substantial accord with Presi-
dent Wilson's recommendation, the
law provided that the compensation,
estimated at $945,OO0,000 annually,
shall be predicated on average net
earnings for the three-year period
ending June 80, 1917. The amounts
will be ascertained by the interstate
commerce commission and certified
to the president, who will negotiate
with the roads for their acceptance.
Ordinary taxes, such as national or
state, shall be paid out of operating
revenues, but war taxes must be paid
by the companies out of their own
funds or charged against the standard
return. In that way, the roads will
bear their proportional share of the
war burden. So that the properties
may be returned to their owners in
condition as good as when taken over,
provision was made for their mainten-
ance and for protection against unus-
ual deterioration.
In the absence of a complete federal
valuation of railroads, the exact rate
of return to be made by the govern
ment cannot be stated accurately, but
it is estimated that the companies will
obtain an amount representing nearly
five and third per cent.
In event that the president finds that
an equitable return cannot be COM
puted for some roads on the three
year pre-war basis because of abnor-

bear in mind our state and municipal
taxes.

good health. William Parker is in
