The Report.

The commissions statement on the
future of the railroads follows:
In dealing with the question Of what
may be done with the railroads in the
future, the interstate commerce COM
mission in its annual report to the n
gress today says;
1.-The conditions, without precedent
or parallel, which the war has pro-
duced now press upon the congress
matters OF the gravest national and
International concern.
while we do not deem the present
conditions and moment opportune in
which to recommend concrete pro-
posals for legislation, we may indicate
certain lines of inquiry which must be
pursued in order to reach sound n
illusions.
Whatever line OF policy is deter
mined upon, the fundamental aim or
purpose should be to secure transporta-
ton systems that will be adequate for
the nations needs even in time of ma
tional stress or peril, and that will fur
nish to the public safe, adequate and
efficient transportation at the lowest
cost consistent with that service. 10
this end there should be provision for
% the prompt merger without friction
Of all the carriers lines, facilities and
organizations into a continental and
unified system in time of stress or
emergency; (2) merger within proper
limits Of the carriers lines and facili-
ties in such part and to such extent
as may be necessary In the general
public interest to meet the reasonable
demands Of our domestic and foreign
commerce.; (8) limitation Of railway
construction to the necessities and con-
venience of the government and Of the
public, and assuring construction to the
point of these limitations; and 90
development and encouragement of in
la M npafaRrtFn NC 0nA Inn ftnn ~
rail and water transportation systems.
Among the plans which doubtless
will be proposed are the following: Ql
Continuance of the present plan OF
federal control: (2) public ownership
Of carrier property with private opera
ton under regulation; (3) private op-
Grafton under regulation with govern
mental guarantees; % resumption Of
private control and management under
regulation; and 80 public ownership
and operation. Additional plans and
notifications or combinations Of those
Anumerated mlRht be listed.

The Question.

"lf the policy of private ownership
and operation under regulation is con-
tinued. the following, subjects will re-
qulre legislative consideration: ~ Re-
| vision Of limitations upon united or
cooperative activities among common
carriers by rail or by water; (2) eman-
| cipation OF railway operation from
financial dictation; C( regulation Of
issues Of securities; az establishment
Of a relationship between federal and
state authority which will eliminate
the twilight zone Of jurisdiction and
under which a harmonious rate struc-
ture and adequate service can be Sc
cured, state and interstate; (5) re-
strictions governing the treatment OF
competitive as compared with noncom-
petitive traffic; (6) the most efficient
utilization Of equipmenA and provision
for distributing the burden Of furnish
ing equipment on an equitable basis
among the respective carriers; 90 a
more liberal use Of terminal facilities
commerce.; and (S) limitations within
which common carrier facilities and
services may be furnished by shippers
or receivers Of freight.
should the policy Of public owner
ship and operation be adopted. there
fair price at which. and the terms un-
der which, carrier properties are to be
acquired; ca prohibiting the operation
of railways as a fiscal continuance, in
surfing their administration In the in
terests OF the convenience and COM
merce Of the people, requiring that they
shall be self supporting, and that their
rates shall be properly related to the
ascertained cost of service and retain
ing and extending the economies and
advantages Of large scale production
in transportation: (3) responsibility and
relationship OF the railway administra'
ton to congress and other federal au'
thorities and to the states; az guard
ing against the intrusion of party poll
ties into railway management; (5) 9
status for railway officers and EN-.
ployes under which the railway ser.
vice will attract and retain the best
talent; and (6) maintenance Of a tri-
bunal for tho determination Of contro.
versies which will inevitably arise ever
under public operation.
1.-THE above outline is a mere emu
meration OF some important points
to be considered We will at an APP.
propriate time report to congress such
information, suggestions or recon-
mendations as We believe may be o.

difficult transportation problems"

Nathan Chiles wrote a, cheek and
Robert Ellis persuaded Bee Ad.s-ns to
cash it. Except for the fact that the
check was forged there was nothing
unusual in the transaction. The COM
binatiOn resulted in the immediate in
generation in the city bastil1e of Ellis
at the hands of Detectives Tim Dom
ovan and M. Bundy. Ellis has admit
ted that he knew the check was forged
when he cashed it.
~Topekans must have some attrac-
tons to offer smallpox patients from
Kansas City. Taking no warning
from the warrant issued for Charles
Ready for crossing a state line while
afflicted with smallpox, one Rev. Ed
win r. Ford, of 1916 East Eighth
street, performed the same act last
Monday. He went to Kansas City Fri
day and returned to Topeka Monday
and now is under quarantine.
1t seems that there are four hun
dred and fifty people in Topeka who
have so much money that a three dol
lar poll tax means nothing in their
lives, at least if it does they are too
lazy to call at the city hall and collect
the money. This lack of interest is
peculiar, too, after the mad rush of
December Is and 6 when all but the
b50. rich ones pulled and tugged in their
efforts to get the refund of the poll
tax before the city went broke.
The new officers of G. A. R. Post
No. II, installed on New Years day

tant.
The Shawnee county legal advisory
board is short of help and has sent out
call for aid. Volunteer help is all
that can be taken as there is no pro-
vision made for compensation. Any
one with some clerical ability who will
contribute his or her services in help
ing registrants to fill out their ques-
tionnaires will be welcomed with open
arms by the board. Thu teachers
volunteered their aid during the vaca-
ton period, but school has started
again, so this help has been with
| drawn.
| John Van Ripper of Denver has won

would take him back to Denver on an
embezzle ment charge. A hearing on
the requisition in the governors office
resulted in decision to deny it on the
grounds that it looked like a collec-
| ton scheme Van Ripper was released.

ceived telegram from Denver Off
