argument made against the fairness
OF the Plumb plan is that the railway
enpioye Will receive a profit on the

Inc railway workers answer TO this
contention will be:
me only profit which they receive

monies or rights of way"
a thrd argument against the plan
Is that II the railroads are pur-
chased by the government on the
oasis OF the physical valuation Of the
roads established by the govern
ments experts and all OF the watered
stock is swept out Of existence. inno-
cent holders OF this stock who in
vested in 1t in good faith would suf-
Ter an injustice. To this argument
the answer will be:
The value OF a security II made
up OF two elements The flrst con
s!sts or investment value: the second
element is speculative value The
Fiumh plan protects the investment
value. II eliminates speculative
value. There is no more reason why
the government should guarantee
speculative values in railway securt-
ties than that it should guarantee
IKE speculative values in other secu-
rules based on grants, privileges or
monopolies. Such a guarantee would
merely place a premium on stock ex-
change gambling and II would insure
to every profit-taker the right to tax
the public on the losses sustained by
Inc seller--a guarantee OF gambling
debts. The roads are no. financed
by innocent holders. and the public
has never guaranteed to make good
speculative losses"
The present prospect OF the pas
sage OF a law by congress making the
Plumb plan for the naturalization
OF the railroads effective is more un-
promising, There Is strong oppoxi-
ton TO II on both the Democratic
and Republican sides. In addition to
those who are determined to vote Il
down from the conviction that It is
not right proposal. there are others
who disposed to vote against IL on
the ground OF political expediency.
They do not think that congress
should adopt such revolutionary
plan without direct mandate from
the people.
II congress fails to act favorablv,
Il will then be necessary for organ
iz@d labor to decide whether or not
IT is advisable to abandon the policy
which has been followed up to this
time and make the plan a political
issue Of the campaign OF 1920.
