The author OF the Plumb plan
promises drastic economies. Among
these are: A saving OF $3.50. 200, 900
in reduced return to security holders.
In other words. confiscation of nearly
half billion annually is an economy.
Second: A saving OF 100000, 900
thru the refusal to pay state or local
taxes. This revenue, now utilized to
maintain schools and other public
enterprises. must be provided by the
people thru some other form of tax
alton. Third; A saving of $3.50. O00.-
600 thru the discharge OF 100000 of
the less efficient employees. presum-
ably non-union men. Here is a saw
ing Of $500. OOO.O 900. which just about
equals the $500, 100000 of wage in
creases asked by the employees.

Since 1917. under government oper-
alton. the total number of railway
employees has been increased about 7
per cent. while the total wages paid
TO them have increased at the rate Of
60 per cent per year. Mainly in order
to pay this advance in wages the pas
senger rates charged the public have
increased so per cent and freight
rates at least IS per cent and II is de-
fraying a huge railroad deficit from
taxes. Does anybody except govern
ment officials and railroad employees
want a continuation Of this program ?

Willingness Of the public to pay has
been illustrated by the experience OF
the Boston City railways. Five-cent
fares were found TO be unremunera-

was then found that on the short
hauls the company was receiving less
money than at the original rate. I,
now Is planned to restore the old rate
on the short lines. There appears to
