MELLEN FOR GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

Charles S. Mellen, former presi-
dent of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad, has come out in ia
vor of government ownership of the
railroads. He says, among other things :;
Il was A years railroad man,
beginning as a $25 month clerk.
1.-THE best solution for the railroad
problem from my viewpoint is govern
ment ownership. / believe the govern
ment should control the railroads as
1t does the postoffice-own them ex-
clusively. 1t might mean a heavy
deficit for awhile, but in the end it
would work out all right.
I'm addition to owning the rail-
roads, l think the government should
acquire all public utilities.
Il am sure there would be no more
political -conniving in operating these
utilities than there was before.
1.-THE civil service laws could oper-
ate in ruling the railroads, as they
have done in having Jurisdiction over

GEDDES BROTHERS HAVE TOUGH JOBS

One of the useful discoveries
which the war has given the British
nation is the Geddes family. Sir Eric
Geddes (portrait herewith as min

of the board of trade, are at the head
of the two foremost departments en-.
gagged in the great work of reconstruc-

of the wOman's royal air force with
a semimilitary organization of several
hundred under her control.
The Geddes brothers come from
Scotland, and before the war they
were almost unknown beyond the
circles of their own professions. Sir
Eric Geddes was railroad manager.
Sir Auckland Geddes was profess
sor of anatomy at McGill university In
Toronto. Eric had his first railroading
lessons on the Baltimore and Ohio.
