RETURN RAILROADS.

Washington, May 19.-"rhe coun-
try has inevitably suffered from un-
certainty induced by both the sit
nation about the peace table and
the absence of Congress-, said
Chairman Simeon ID. Fess, of the
Committee, 10 your correspondent.
The report of rail deficit OF
$4,000, 900 the first three months
of the year emphasizes the necessity
Of immediate solution of this prob
lem. The anamalous situation of
the greatest railway system in the
world, representing one OF the most
important agencies of prosperity,
rapidly deteriorating not only in
inefficiency of service but in sta
bllity of finance and rolling stock,
the largest traffic at the higest
charge on the public ever paid, is
too apparent to warrant comment
Under government control operating
expenses have so increased that the
railway business faces bankruptcy
which may demand a continuance
of the national treasury.
Congress must meet this situa-
ton. In the solution of it the own
ers of the reads who have invested
their capital and have taken all of
hn rtuly H., al, \,
pected. But the roads cannot be
run for profit to the owners alone.
In the solution the employees must
be considered in the assurance Of
steady employment under the best
possible conditions at IA scale OF
wage that will enable them to
maintain the Americn standard of
living. These conditions they have
right to ask. But the railroads
cannot be run for the payment Of
wages alone. There should also be
provided for the protection of secur-
ity holders in order to secure a
ready market for the sake of needed
improvements demanded by the
growing business of the country.
In the solution also the public
must be considered. The people
will ask economical and efficient
service as well as security or trans
portation.
THE remedy is such modification
of the law touching rne railways
as to permit immediate return to
their owners, making them respons-
ible for the service. There should
be rigid governmental supervision
so as to permit them to run as
regional systems in order to satisfy
and protect all of the elements, con-
cerned. The public will insist upon
the retention of whatever improve
ments have been induced by gov
eminent ownership, such as COM
mon terminals, interchange of tick
etS, routing over shorter lines, and
SO on. The solution of this highly
important and vital problem has
been delayed all too long, and one
of the first measures to be taken
up by the new Congress will be

Of. After discussing the project in
detail, Commissioners Carey and
Bailey took the position that the
project from Pierce to the mouth of
Orosrande Creek would be of little
value to the Pierce Highway Dis
trict, but in case the project was
extended to railroad on the Clear
water River, that it would be worth
while considering. That the pro-
ject from Pierce to the mouth of
Orogrande Creek would not give
the owners of timber the mines. or
that the cost would be excessive,
when compared with the benefits
that would result from the building
Of the road, in so far as same
would effect Pierce Highway Dis

tended to Greer or Orollno, that
above stated objections would in
large measure be removed, and after

would furnish the largest tonnage
and benefit the greater number Of

direct route would be from Greer,

at an end for Mason County Food Ad-

just received instructions from State

It Is more than likely that with the
recent statement of State Administra-

will continue for time yet but prac-
tically all of the work Of the admin

Mason county and Maysville mer-
chants are to be congratulated on the
manner in which they conducted the
business under these Federal restric-
tions and the people in general con-
formed to the orders of the admins
tration at all times. There were pro-

any other section of the state and yet
the orders were as strictly enforced
here as they were at any place.

PROHIBITION IS
RATIFIED BY ALL
States NECESSARY
Vote Of the Legislature Of Nebraska
Closes Long Battle to Make Nm.
tion Dry-Amendment Ef-
fectiye In 1920.

Washington, January 17-Ratifica-
ton yesterday Of the Federal consti-
tutional prohibition amendment made
the United States the first great Pow
er to take legislative action perma-
nently to stop the liquor traffic.
Nebraska's vote gave the necessary
affirmative three fourths majority of
the states to make effective the
amendment submitted by Congress in
December, 1917.
1t was followed by similar action in
the Legislatures Of Missouri and Wy
oming, marking 3S states in all which
have approved "dry" America.
Affirmative action by certain of the
10 States Legislatures yet to act is
predicted by prohibition advocates.
Under the terms of the amendment
the manufacture, sale and importation
of intoxicating liquors must cease one
year after ratification, but prohibition
will be a fact in every state much
earlier because of the war measure
forbidding the manufacture and sale
of alcoholic beverages after June 80
until the rehabilitation of the mill
tary forces Is completed.
Under the wartime measure ex-
portation Of liquor is permitted, but
the great stocks held in bonded ware
houses will have to be disposed of be-
fore the Federal amendment becomes
effective.
Discussion as to whether the new
amendment becomes part of the con-
stitution, now that 36 states have rati-
fled it, or whether 1t becomes a part of
the basic law only when each state
has certified its action to the Secre-
tary of State, led yesterday to
search for precedent, which showed
that the only two amendments ratified
in the last half century, providing for
income taxes and direct election of
Senators, were considered effective
Immediately the thirty sixth state had
taken affirmative action.
Senator Morris Sheppard, author of
the prohibition amendment, held that
nationafprohibition becomes a perma-
nent fact January 16, 1920
Only IA Of the states have certified
their action to the State Department.
The vote of the Mississippi Legisla-
ture, the first to act. has not been re-
ceived.
