government securities, the surplus is
equally divided between the govern
ment and the men; the employees
portion is divided between the man
agerial and classified employees, the
former, or managerial employees, re-
ceiving twice as much as the latter.
The operating officials receive a larg-
er share because it serves as great
er stimulus to the group with the most
responsibility.
1t is claimed that this system would
prevent unreasonably high wages be-
cause the operating officials would lose
dividends If wages were increased and
thus collusiOn between labOr's direc-
tors and tn operating directors to
outvote the public's directors in the
matter Of raising the employees wag-
| - to an cxtortionate level is impossi-
bic.
The plan further provides that when
the share Of the government is five
per cent or more of the gross operat-
ing revenue, rates shall be reduced ac-
cordingly to absorb the amount the
government receives. The government
is to retire the outstanding bonds with
It's share OF the surplus, thus reducing
the fixed charges and TO invest in i'm
provements and extensions, without
adding to the fixed charges. The pub
lie can obtain money for the roads AT
per cent, in place Of the Gl-2 per
cent rate the public now has TO pay
in paronizing the roads. This say
ing, together with the economy real
lied by elimination of watercd stock
the operation Of the roads as a unified
system, etc, makes passenger rates of
l-2 cents mile and reduction of
freight rates by 40 per cent appear
reasonable, say the hackers of the
plan. -, .,I$a,x
Other features Of the Plumb plan
are the determining Of wages by the
board of directors; the settling of dis
pntes by the directors if a board or
ten, five chosen by the operating Of
licials and five by the classified en-
ployees falls to do 1t; the power OF the
interstate commerce committee to fix
rates, and the power of congress to
revoke the ahcrtcr if the operation by
the directors results in deficit.
whether the proposed plan would
DO benefit to the country or not is
open to dispute, but it is conceded that
1t will be the foundation OF many a
bitter battle in national politics for
many year to come unless favorable
action is now taken on the bill. which
seems improbable.

augusta ChrOniclcD
During the last few weeks much
publicity has been given to the term
'the Plumb plan" The newspapers
have reported some senator's as vc-
hcmcntly opposing it, others at least
negatively favoring it. the workers as
demanding it, and men Of influence
throughout the land as condcmning or
laudng II, as thcy.thnk best. TO most
people the Plumb plan IS a mystery,
although many know that it has some
reference to the operation OF the rail
roads
The Plumb plan is so called because
1t was conceived by Glenn T.. Plumb
general counsel for the organized rail
way cmloyccs OF America. 1t calls
for the public ownership OF the roads
and proposes that they be bought by
Issuing government bonds with which
to pay for the legitimate private In
terests In the railroad industry. The
value Of the roads would be decided
by the courts, and purchasing board,
composed Of the interstate commerce
commission and three directors OF the
new government corporation, one di-
rector from 5lch group, namely, the
governments q ofIicials and the OPP
orators, wotiid supervise the purchase
OF the roads.
The roads would be operated by a
board OF fifteen directors, flve named
by the president. to represent the pub
lie, five elected by tn operating OFF,
clals, and five elected by the classified
employees. After operating expenses
are paid and fixed charges met in
