 The employees have their plan, the state railroad commissioners have their plan, and security owners have their plan for organizing, and in addition there are about 150 other plans before the Senate committee for the disorganization of the roads.
 "The question is, are we going to gov ernment ownership or continue private ownership with government control? IT the government buys the roads, it must pay for them. Their estimated cost is between $10GO0, ,000,000 and $1S,0O0,00 ,00O,OO0 After we take them over, how are we going to operate them?'
 He said the employees, that is the train men, the shop men, the yard men, want the government to own the roads, but they do not want it to operate them. They want to operate the roads themselves Their proposition is that the employees elect one director, the security holders ing the employees and security holders two- thirds of the directors and the peo- pie one.

Persons who have made returns and failed to pay tax when due, per cent of the amount due, plus 12 per cent interest per an mum Is added for the time during wnlch 1t remains unpaid.

UNDERWOOD SAYS RETURN RAILROADS
 ID THEIR OWNERS
But Not Until Constructive Legislation Is Enacted. Talks to Members of
 Community Club

What shall we do with the railroadsT' asked United States Senator Oscar W. Underwood, in an address before the Community club at it's monday luncheon at the Southern club yesterday.
 He had been invited by President Claude Estes to address the club on any subject he might select and as transportation is, in his opinion, the greatest problem before the American people at the pres ent time, he elected that as the topic Of his address.
 The government did not want to take over the railroads, he. said, but in the stress and emergency of war they failed to function, and nothing else was left for the government to do but take them over and operate them.
 For years, he said, they had been op- erating on a narrow margin, buying equipment only when absolutely needed with the result that when demands upon them made by war conditions came, they broke down, nothing else was left but for the government to take control and operate them.
