Government Supervision.
Proposing eventual private oper-
alton with government supervision.
Mr.. Hines said:
My own view is that moderate
guarantee on capital should be pre-
Scribed (by the sovernment1 50 as
TO give a reasonable assurance to
capital. and that there should he a
right to q participation in any prof
its made II excess of that guaranty,
so as TO furnish the needed stimulus
to private initiative.
Il further believe that the gov
eminent should be strongly repre-
scented on the board of directors.
and that these government directors
should constitute an important part
of the regulating body which pre-
scribes the rates so that this regu-
lating body will know as necessities
develop that the necessities are de-
veloping and Will be able to meet
the needs of the situation much
more nearly at the time the needs
arise than is possible at present.
Need Few Dig Companies.
Il do not believe these funda-
mental changes can De success ully
carried through except by the con-
struction OF a comparatively few
sreat railroad corporations. each of
which Will so combine the prosper
Gus and unprosperous roads as to
present a fair average result and
get away from the hopeless diversity
in earnings which has existed in the
past: and upon each of which it will
be practicable 70 have ample gov
crnment representation"
Reviewing government operation
of railroads during the war Mr.
Hines said it was important that the
public understand the accomplish
ment OF three great results. First,
conflict of priorities was eliminated
and unification of control prevented
serious congestion. Second, through
government control railroad labor
was given wage increases and i'm
proved working conditions. Third.
The government provided for ade-
quate financing Of the roads. which
otherwise would have been impos-
siole None of these questions could
nave been dealt with properly ex-
cept under government control. said
Mr.. Hines.

worth OF hogs and cattle, Another
shipment will be made next Tuesday

considered a splendid showing, No hogs
at all were shipped. Several farmers
OF the county are arranging to raise
hogs in carload lots this year. While
most of the hogs and cattle shipped
have not been finished, one car Of
hogs topped the market for Southern
stuff. Two experiments have been
conducted In feeding cattle and hogs
and have proven very profitable. They
were fed entirely on homegrown food
stuff, There are more hogs and more
corn in the county than ever before
and the farmers are going to continue
to raise both, The acreage planted to
corn this year will be materially In
creased over that of last year. The
