RAILROAD LEGISLATION

RAILROAD LEGISLATION
On the last day of December the railroads OF
the country will be returned to their private own
ers .by the government whether congress mas
acted On the matter or not, according 60 the
statement Of Director General Hines. Ihls
announcement has galvanized the republican
ma ior;tv in congress into some activity, and
orders have gone out to get move on themselves
and do something before it is too late. during
six months of the present extra session congress
has practically done nothing with the railroad
question. Now it will have to fish or cut bait.
A Washington correspondent thus describes the
situation at the national capital:
Forecasts on the probable legislation to be
passed by congress to provide for the turning
back Of the railroads now indicate that the
republican majority will try to get the required
bill through by the end of the year. At best 1t
can be but last minute legislation, and those
informed on the problems the next congress will
have to face predict it will not pass until after
the roads have actually been handed back. The
greatest embarrassment this causes to the
country is that it continues the eleventh hour
activities that have stamped this congress, Wnere
thew have acted at all, and tends to increase
industrial uncertainty
.Inder instructions from the high command
of the republican party the subcommittee III
charge of both the Cumnlins senate bill and the
Esch house bill have been working at tull speed
during the past ten days. The orders from above
were not forthcoming until the railroad admins
tration forced the committees into corner with
the recent communication from Director Hines,
-, a. offn tak "a
committees would be put before the public IN
the light Of having failed to function on one OF
the country's most important problems.
"As the plans now read there will be an effort
to get the bill before this congress by the middle
of November If the bill does go before this
congress it will be just before the time the repub-
licans hope for an adjournment, so that 1t can
lay before the country nearly month and be
used as feeler on public sentiment.
"The republican leaders will probably insist
on an adjournment period long enough to allow
them to collect their mileage even if they do not
have much time to spend on their political pre-
serves at home. The next regular session OF
congress will begin the first week in December
Besides the railroad legislation it will have before
it definitely at that time legislation for the bene
fit of the soldiers. The soldier legislation may
be postponed on account Of the Importance OF the
rails legislation Aside from that there will be
dozens of important measures, neglected during
the dilatory and procrastnating special session
that will press even more urgently at that time
for action It is a practical certainty that what
ever legislation is brought up affecting the rail
roads it will have much opposition on both side
Of congress and the bill as it finally passes vii

Paris, Nov. 3.-The French have in

posal for the establishment of an inter-
allied military organization for the en-
forcement of the peace treaty with Ger

French wishes to have this organization.

posed plan this organization would con-
tinue for at least Is years. The mem
ership would be France, England,b
United States, Italy and Japan.
The supreme council took no action on
the proposal. 1t is probable that the
allied governments will be asked by the
peace delegations to pass on it.
This proposal is not the same as the.
French one that the league Of nations
have an armed force back OF it.

FRANCES RECOVERY.

There has been some discussion of France
ability to make quick recovery from the awful
havoc the war has wrought; this even has been
colored with doubt as to her financial status in
trade for a considerable period This govern
ment has commercial agents in France and one
of them, c.. d. Snow, attache at Paris has
sent in a report compiled from official infor1na-
ton filed by the French government. Between
the dates of May fourteenth and June first the
glass works at Rheims, the spinning works at
Lille. the Enclos weaving works, the Brouape
silk mills the Roubax and Odessa oil company,
the Lille cotton spinning works all notified their
government that they were beginning produc-
ZION and that their workshops were well sup
plied with labor About two-thlrds Of the land
included in the devastated regions is already
under cultivation and labor is plentiful. Nine
hundred miles Of road have already been re
paired and work is progressing rapidly on al
the principal highways where German prisoner
are employed as Iaborers. These are only som
OF the outstanding facts in report that show
how promptly and successfully France is goin
at her work. There need be no doubt of wha

THE HIGH COST OF TRAVELLING

The statement is reiterated at Washington
that the president will start very quickly after
his return ON a speaking tour OF the country
But until he gets back it will not be decided how
extensive the trip will be. The matter OF ex-
pense seems to be worrying some people at the
capital. His travelling fund is twenty five thou
sand dollars But it is figured that trip to the
Pacific coast and back would up twenty
thousand, seven hundred dollars of this sum,
leaving him less than five thousand dollars for
such future trips within the year as ne desired
to take For he takes about eighteen persons
secret agents. stenographers and others, with
him, and the railroad mileage and Pullman com
pany charges for the special cars required
would total eighteen thousand dollars to which
must be added the cost Of meals.
OF course congress might vote him more
money to travel or he might make trips at his
own expense, though both Of these are consid-
cred improbable. And again, there is what re-
mains, if anything, of the one hundred and fifty
millions put in his hands for such uses as he
deemed fit. Conceivaby he may argue, and
with some force, that he might just as properly
take land trip with his encourage upon this
fund as to take trip across the sea. 1t he
takes this view of it the expense of travelling
need not limit his projected trip.

Tn. Rand School.

Springfield, Mass, Republican: The
Rand school of social science, which
has been frequently mentioned OF
late in connection with radical ideas
and literature, and which was raided
Monday by agents of the state OF
New York in pursuit Of facts con-
corning bolshevism in this country,
had had peaceful career of nearly
twenty years before the espionage
law was enacted. 1t was founded
with money left for the purpose by
Mrs. r. ID. Rand, mother of Mrs.
George d. Heron, and has always
been conducted by members OF the
socialist party. Its chief mission mas
been to train socialis speakers and
socialist party organizers, and a large
number of the best known men and
women coming under those classifi-
cations have at one time or another
heen connected with it in some ca
pacity. The money left by Mrs.
Rand was exhausted some five years
ago. but other enthusiasts have kept
the school going and it is now the

WHY WE WENT TO WAR.

Manufacturers Record: President
Wilson. with great force and clear
ness, on June IA. 1917. said:
1T is plain enough how we were
forced into the war. The extraardi-
nary insults and aggressions OF the
imperial German government left US
no self-respecting choice but to take
up arms in defense Of our rights as
free people and OF our honor as
sovereign government"
Notwithstanding this admirable
statement of Mr.. Wilson that we
were compelled to go to war in self
defense and, therefore, for purely
selfish reasons, many Americans con-
tinue to proclaim that we went to
war wholly from unselfish and altru-
istic motives. The Manufacturers
Record has often pointed out the
mistake of preachers. teachers and
religious papers, as well as OF poll
ttcians, who have proclaimed our
aItruism, and said that we went to
war from wholly unselfish motives.
How utterly false are all such
claims in the light Of President VIII
sons clear-cut statement that We
were compelled TO take UP arms in
defense Of our rights as free peo-
pie, Any man who Droclaims that
we went into this war from disin-
terested motives deliberately dis
credits the statement OF President
Wilson and practically charges him
with having uttered falsehood.
why discuss this matter noW!'
some may ask. The answer is that
the truth should be known now,
just as history will record it, and
because every man who says we en-
tered the war merely from high
sense OF duty 10 civilization Is help
ing TO create a wholly Pharisaical
commentator Of Ourselves which
can lead only TO evil, for it VIII
gradually sap our moral fiber and
; make hypocriticai Pharisees out OF
many of our people.
Moreover, IT Ia an Insult TO our
allies to intimate to them IN this
way that they went TO war from
/ geIffgh reasons in saving themselves
while we went to war from unselfish
reaaous to save them. 1t is "hoiier
/ than thou" attitude, unworthy Of
I America. The sooner the whole ma
! ton comes TO realize that we went
! TO war to save our existence just az
! our allies did, and for the exact
reasons stated by President Wilson
! the sooner will we come TO clear
honest understanding OF the war and
I it's meaning to us.

TIE FARMER AS A BUSINESSMAN.

In no other field of cooperative enterprise
have the farmers made greater advance
than in fire insurance. According to the
federal department of agriculture, there are
nearly two thousand farmers fire insurance
companies in the United States, having total
of six billion dollars of insurance in force.
Many of these companies have been IN sue
cessfuI operation for more than quarter OF
century and have a remarkable record for sta
bility and safe, conservative business manage
ment They are managed by farmers and have
been efficient business training schools for intel
ligent, progressive young men. Not few man
ayers of great business enterprises, cooperative
and otherwise, owe their success to their earlier
experience in handling the affairs OF concerns
backed by the agriculturists. Because OF this
training and the success of their pioneer venture
in practical business cooperation, farmers are
now operating and managing cooperative mar
keting and trade associations handling in the
aggregate billions of dollars worth OF farm pro-
ducts and supplies.
