/, Under government own
ership the development OF
railroad facilities would
depend upon congressional
appropriations, whic n
would prevent the anticipa-
ton OF the transportation
needs of the country. Ap-
propriations would not be
made in the amount and at
the time needed TO insure
adequate development OF the
railroads. Political consid-
erations might also control
the amount OF appropriations
and the objects for which
they were made
2. To acquire the rail-
roads the government would
have 10 pledge its credit for

the government were to as

to make the trip on the special tram
which is being run over the North

Besides the excellent attractions
which the Donnellson fair always
affords there is another magnet to
draw Keokuk people 10 the event.
The Keokuk Concert band, under
direction of W. H. Bower is going 10
play. This band has been making
name for itself all over this section
of the state, and the concerts tomor-
row viii be an extra added attrac-

gests that every one make up his

the services rendered are
less progressively efficient
4. While the government
would presumably select Off
GERS and employees by means
of efficiency tests. political
influences would almost GER
tainly be given weight in
selecting men for official
positions.
5. Unless tie government
adopted the policy of fixing
low rates and fares with the
intention that any resulting
deficit from operations
should be placed as an In
creased burden OF taxes
upon the general public,
rates and fares would be
higher under government
than under private opera
ton.
Under government opera
ton expenses rise in relation
to income and the charges
imposed by the government,
If deficit is to be avoided,
must be higher than those
which 1t would be necessary
to permit railroad corpora
tions TO make.
6. The political effect of
government ownership and
operation Of railroads in the
United States might be ser
ious. There are now about
5o0.0 900 civil employees Of the
government; in addition TO
the public services of 2,000,-
600 railroad employees, the
majority of whom are voters.
this would constitute force
of about 100000 govern
ment employees interested in
controlling the policy OF the
government as regards
wages, hours and conditions
of service. Such a body of
employees might easily exer-
else a controlling influence
upon state and national poll

The Epidemic of Strikes

While the people are clamoring
for a reduction in cost of living,
strikes are occurring all over the
country. In so far as wages are
increased, the prices of goods
are marked up to pay for the
same. The advances do not come
out of profits, as some people
imagine, but are simply added OH
to the prices of goods. So in effect
the people take money from one
set of workers to give it to anoth
er. 1t is general scramble with
the devil to take the hindmost.
The country is very anxious to
have all workers get fair pay and
decent comforts. But it will re-
sent the action of those who de-
mand more than their fair share.
Also when workers in trades re-
curing little skill or intelligence
demand as much pay as can be
had by intelligent, educated, or
highly trained workers, they are
striving against the processes of
nature, and can not maintain any
such position very long.
