Exploitation by Private Owners.

One Of the chief arguments offered
IN behalf OF the proposition 10 that
the public and the employees have
been exploited by the private owners
capitalization. Mr.. Plumb, who pre-
sents the argument, alleges that Or
dtnary repairs, such as the replace
ment OF ties. have been regularly and
generally charged to the capital ac-
count ever since the railroads were
terest on such expenditures as invest
ments. He is quoted as saying:
To-day we are still paying for the
use Of locomotives long since sent to
the scrap heap. We are paying re-
turns on the shades Of ties that have
that have been replaced half a dozen
times still demand from us the earn
ineo paid for by our ancestors. The
property investment account Of the
railroad is nothing but q whited
sepulchre. full OF corruption and dead
meas bones"
MI. Plumb has given out that the
advocates Of his plan will be glad to
participate in the conference.
Since 1907 the Interstate Commerce
Commission has had supervision over
railroad bookkeeping, and under its
regulations no additions to the prop
erty investment account have been
permitted except upon approval by
the commission, and against actual
capital Investments. The aggregate of
additions under these regulations from
1907 to 1917 was about $s.000.o0 600
Here. then, is $4,000. 100000 in ten
years which cannot be questioned
The mileage of the roads increased
in that time from 236.943 to 260.1s9
or about 10 per cent If Mr.. Plumb's
calculation of $4,000, 100000 or $12,-
coo. .000, 900 as the total value OF all
railroad property is correct, we must
conclude that $1,000, 900, 900 to $1,000

Restore Normal Production.

a. ShCIO rs any Ou0 LuiHS upon W01CA
q conference ought to be able to agree
at this time. says Mr.. Roberts, Il is
that normal production all over the
world should be restored as quickly
as possible. The first resolution to be
adopted therefore should be one to the
enect that no proposals for the re-
form OF society will be considered
which are likely to even temporarily
reduce production. This will not be
saying that there is no room for inn
provement in social or Industrial con-
ditions, but simply that in the pres
ent state of the world experiments
which may make things worse are
barred. 1t is simply recognizing that
social order is necessary to any prog
ress. and the most important thing
now Is Tor every individual to apply
himself earnestly to the work he

accustomed and which will produce
the largest results. The first busi-

One reason for having conferences
which is also a good reason for not

them Is that the participants usually
are SO iar apart in their views that

opinion OF Mr.. Roberts is that on gen

entirely from MISUNDERSTANDING, and
these would be largely cleared up ii
the people of different views, differ

They would all learn something and
become more tolerant
There Is danger, however, that con-

society during all time may take
themselves too seriously and attempt
to do too much. The social problem
is not going to be settled in one con-
ference. or in one generation. 1t is a

The best thing that can be done about
It Is to encourage the idea of con-
ferences. to be held not only in Wash

General Wood said his plan was to
train youths not more than SIX

ton in four months. ae said that the
plan OF industrial training along via
military training, as now being tied
out at Camp Funston. is entirely sue

said was similar TO that OF the prs
ent national guard system.
ITO keep the smallest number of
men in uniform as a standing army
but TO have the largest number :hor-
cughly trained to be ready when the

The prediction that there viii be no
wars is as old as time, but war is
like pestilence It comes unaw::res
