GOVERNMENT RAIL OWNERSHIP
URGED BY LABOR INTERESTS

the men would be actuated by de-
sire to promote efficiency and econ
omy as 2 means Of increasing profit
Out Of Politics.
This would remove the operation
of the railroads from politics. he said.
Government officials could not pos
sibly have anything to say about the
employment of men or officials OF the
road. They would have nothing to
say as to construction or extension
of new lines.
Wage and employment disputes
would be settled by wage boards and
! boards of adjustment similar to those
now maintained by the railroad ad-
ministration.
The federal government could pro-
vide capital from one-fourth to one
half cheaper than private investors.
said Mr.. Plumb, and "this would mean
an annual saving under government
ownership in the cost of capital OF
| from four to six hundred million dol
lars" The result might be a reduc-
tion of ten per cent in rates, he de-
| clared
| Railway security owners would
have fixed rate Of return and this,
| he predicted would eliminate continual
agitation before congress and state
legislatures for measures affecting the
financial interests of railroads.

DECIDE BRIDGE
CASE MONDAY

The county commissioners and the
county council will meet in joint ses-
sion Monday morning, February ~, 10
decide upon additional appropriations
to build the proposed South G street
bridge.
Backers of the project. realizing
that the bridge cannot be built for the
sum appropriated for it two years ago,
s1s5, 900, have asked to have the coun-
Gil called to discuss making an addl-
tional appropriation SO the bridge can
be begun this summer.
The commissioners favor the pro-
iect and from the expressed opinion
of members of the council, there is
more than an even chance OF the ap-
FL opriation being made.

WASHINGTON, Feb. T. Railroad
labor interests today proposed govern
ment ownership and private operation
by one large corporation. cooperative
ly organized, and sharing profits with
employes. as their solution OF the rail-
way problems.
Testifying before the senate inter
state commerce committee on behalf
of the four leading trainmen's brother
hoods and other employees organiza-
tions, Glenn e. Plumb, OF Chicago,
recommended that the government &C
auire all railroad property at a price
fairly representing the physical valu-
alton, and entrust the operation to
CORPORATION to be directed jointly by
employees, officers and the government.
Earnings would be divided equally
among employees and the government,
and rates would be automatically be
reduced when profits amounted to
more than fixed rate.
This plan, it was argued. would pro-
vide cheaper financing, give stability
| OF income to security owners, promote
efficiency Of operation through sharing
profits. remove railroad operation
from partisan politics, compose con-
hicts between federal and state au-
thorities, keep rates at minimum.
eliminate complications in rate sched-
ules, and provide a means OF making
communities beneftting by extensions
pay for them. The corporation would
be subject to regulation by the inter
state commerce commission, which
would retain it's present regulating
powers.
Object to Secretary.
The brotherhoods objected to the
railway executives proposal for estab
fishing secretary of transportation
saying this would constitute "regulat
ing the people in the interests OF
capital" =,
They also protested against the rail
road administration order forbiddins
railway employees from taking part II
politics, arguing that the solution o.
the railwoy problem is political issue
and that employees are entitled to par
ticipate.
Mr.. Plumb suggested organization
of "an operating corporation where
operating ability constituted its SOLE
capital"
With one-half Of the profits goin'
, to the government and the other hal
to the corporation to be distribute.

ITO follow this mans life is a success

knowledge about more things than
any man, amazing all with whom he
came in contact by the breadth OF his
knowledge prodigious beyond COM
parison. He was intensely human In
the freedom of unselfishness and his
name is synonymous with courage and
activity.
"His alert and intense nature was
always in tune to the needs of the
moment, but he went deeper into the
fundamentals than any one of his per
iod. In office, while wise men were
asking what might best be done
Roosevelt would reply, The best has

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. with

papers have suspended publication,
schools and theaters have closed,
street cars have ceased operation, res
taurants have shut down and ship
ping is being diverted to Oregon ports
because there is no one to load or
unload the cargoes. Soup kitchens
have ben established by culinary

PATRIOTIC TEACHINGS OF ROOSEVELT
ARE HIS MONUMENT, SAYS HAYS

1t mattered not one whit how that
course affected himself or anything.
if he thought it was right he did it
and he did it to the hilt.
"I have kept the promise that l
made to myself when / was 81. That
promise was to live my life to the h1lt
until l was 60, and l have kept that
promise
These words Theodore Roosevelt
said to his sister a few days before he
died." Mr.. Hays said. And this, In
deed, he did.
1--WE cannot say that he was a typf
cal American, because he was too un.
like to be typical; he had no counter
part; the foremost American, yes; the
leader of leaders, yes; but above all
he was the supreme duplication o1
that intangible thing we love to think
of as the American spirit"
