Question of Equality in Rates.

Mr. Garretson said he had never been
able to determine how to get ali the
roads on an equality in rates, seeing
that each differed from the other in
distances between common points on
which rates are based and in capitali-
alton. He said he did not suppose that
members of the committee had played

pot the whole question and let uni
versal rate take care of all the roads
Senator Underwood asked if, Mr.
Garretson approved budget to enable
the roads to serve the public. The wit
ness replied that he did if the Con-
gress decided to return the roads to
private ownership.
Whether the roads are retained or
returned Mr.. Garrett said, "the very.
essence Of regulation and rate fixing
has got to go back to valuation. Why
should posterity be burdened with
constantly growing account adding to
the capitalization of the roads, when
exact methods exist for putting rates.

Charts E. Cottrell, representing the
Southern Traffic League, told the COM

rates initiated under the arbitrary
power of the director general was con-
tinued."
He said that it was now proposed
to establish mileage rates on SO south
ern commodities, for which he de-
clared there was no justification. He
urged that Congress refuse to extend
the period of governmental control
of railroads.

Forces Loosed by War.

Mr.. Garfetson declared it was fool
ish to think that the threads of social
life could be picked up now where
they were broken by war, and that 1t
remained to be demonstrated whether
the forces loosed by the war were to
be used for good or evil He declared
that the financial and operating sides
of the railroad question were prac-
tically one, and that the task of Con-
gress was to decide whether the two
functions could be best performed by
private or government ownership.
w. S. Stone, head of the engineers;
W. e. Lee of the trainmen and Timothy
Shea of the firemen, Mr.. Garretson said,
were private ownership advocates un-
til the experience of government op-
GRAFTON was compared with private
operation. He explained that they
still advocated private ownership in
as applied to the railroad industry.
Z He thought it was germ of what
government ownership might be if
perfected that had caused their
change of mind.
Much of Mr.. Garretson's time on the
stand was occupied with a theoretical
discussion of rates and returns. He
opposed any plan for guaranteeing a
return to the railroads under private
ownership, and said it was as legiti-
mate to guarantee every other line
of business as the railroads. He de-
caared that if the government became
liable for a deficit in the railroads in
come then the government also must
be a participant in their profits.
''AI plans presented here recognize
the principle of government owner
ship in demanding the guarantee OF
returns" he said.

to when and how much disarmament
will be affected by the league of ma
tions.
But two specific bids were offered
when Secretary Daniels opened the
bids.
The Bethlehem Steel Shipbuilding
Corporation proposed to build two
,%-knot battleships. the first to lie
delivered within forty months and
each to cost 81, ,5SOT0. following navy
machinery plans. or for s2l .96oOo0 each

cations were allowed
The Newport News Shipbuilding and
Drydock Company offered 80 build
one 23-knot ship within forty five
months for s21 .aNo.O0O, under navy
plans, or for S2l, 10000 under its own
plans.
The New York Shipbuilding Corpor-
alton submitted a bid to build ouc
ship at a profit of 81. 10000. Secretary
Daniels said this bid would not be
considered.
The battleShips are after plans
adopted according to needs developed
by the European war. They have
special protection against submarines
and mines. They are heavily armor-
ed and are to carry twelve l6-inch
guns. sixteen 6-inCh guns, four anti
aircraft guns, two submerged torpedo
tubes and other smaller caliber guns.
The radio apparatus includes the
