Higher Railroad Rates

1t seems to be condition of railroad finances
and not theory of future railroad control which
the more Immediately confronts the country
The condition is that the railroads are still
running behind in their net earnings and that
meantime traffic is declining in volume under
the return of peace conditions. 1t is that, as
things are now going, the current year of 1919
will yield no surplus under the governments
contracts with the roads, but deficit of $25,-
OOOOO0. 1t is that, if this deficit is not over
come in some way, the government must make
it up from taxpayers.
How shall that deficit be overcome? Only
one way apears to be available and that is by
another large increase in rates.
The deficit cannot be overcome by general
railroad economies, for these have been crowded
about to the limit under government direction
of the roads. AS the deficit is being caused by
the enormous increase in railroad wages
amounting to around so per cent within few
years, it could be easily overcome by some mod
Grafton of expenditures along this line But
railroad employees are demanding still further
wage increases and are in no mood to submit
to reductions
We must evidently prepare for rates still
higher and already so high as perceptibly to
affect the general cost of living. And if these
should start another merry go-round of wage
increases to meet the new increase in cost of
living? And if these should reduce rail traffic
by as much as they increase rail revenuee-New

II looks as if the present Nebraska iegisla-
ture is reaching agreement on sane and rea-
sonably effective AUGMENTATION program.
That some far-reaching measures should be
enacted along this line is to be expected for it
inevitably follows from the fact that at the
same election in which the people chose their
lawmakers the people also registered de-
cisive majority for constitutional amendment
taking the suffrage away from so-called first
paper voters, as we'll as from keen recollection
of some of the difficulties encountered during
the war with unassimilated elements of our
population
Like The Bee, the people of Nebraska, with
few exceptions, are for America-hrst, last and
all the time-and they want to make sure that
America takes precedence Internationally with
all our citizenship of the future. Therefore the
odious law for compulsory teaching of German
in Our public schools has been repealed and the
law for publishing legal notices in foreign Ian
guage newspapers is going the same way. For
the same reason, the demand is made for such
a control over all the schools in Nebraska as
will insure every child an education in the
English language that will really equip him for
the duties of American citizenship.
Apparently the only serious sticking point
turns upon the question how far the state con-
troll should 60 1t is understood that all the
interests involved concede that these schools
should come under the supervision of public
authorities, that their teachers should qualify
the same as public school teachers, that their
courses of study and text books should be
standardized and made equivalent to the cor
responding requirements in the public schools,
that their subjects should be taught in the
English language The supporters of the pa
rochial schools want the program to stop there.
for fear that if not permitted to continue
religious instruction in the language employed
in the church service, the connection of the
young people with the church of their parents
may be broken altogether. Even those who
recognize the eventual necessity of complete
Anericanization of the church services feel that
the bridge can be crossed better by going
slowly, and the legislature seems inclined to
accord consideration to these obvious difficult
ties. What The Bee wants to emphasize is
that the progress that will be made In applying
the principle oRstate control over all Schools
private as well as public, to the extent now
acquiesced in by all concerned, will be
tremendous step forward step that two years
ago looked remotely distant. To make this
much progress on systematic plan of Amer
icanization and nail it down as we go, seems to
us far preferable to jeopardizing the whole
proposition for the sake of the few points in
dispute.
