has met with cold reception in commercial circles 1t is
styled radical and boshevs but is the first definite plan
presented for public ownership.
The Cummins plan is received with little favor by
financial interests and has aroused bitter resentment
from labor account of the prohibition of strikesa
provision that leaders assert unconstitutional and nen
forcible.
Both bills premature and abound in serious de-
fects though they will help crystaze public opinion re-
gardng the fate of the railroads Theoretically the rail
roads national highways should be owned by the gov
ernnent Practically private ownership under federal
control is probably the most efficient as government
spells politics, bureaucracy and ineficiency.
The people have not yet made up their minds what
they to do with the railroads. Government operation
under abnormal conditions has not yet had sufficient test
to prove it's merits demerts At the same time there
is widespread alarm lest federal ownership make the
railroads the football of politics.
One thing is certain the railroads will not be return
ed to become as under the old regime the stakes in Wall
street gambling nor will they be handicapped by having
AZ seperate states debating rates and policy as we'll as the
nation; While we are making up minds, which may
take the five years estimated by McAdoo labor has no
complaint stockholders have their dividends assured and

THE RAILROAD PROBLEM.

Some thirty odd plans have been suggested to settle
the railroad problem among which only two have pre-
cpitated wide discussion the Plumb pan fathered by
railroad employees, and the Cummins pan offered by the
subcommittee headed by Senator Cummins.
The Plumb plan provides public ownership, to be OBJ
tained by issuing bonds pay for legitimate
private holdings determined by the courts purchase
to be made through purchasing board comprising
bers Of the Interstate Commerce Commission, and
representative each OF operators employers and presde
ta apponees from the board of directors operation to
be under board Of Is directors named by the President
by operating officials and by the classified employees
under rates fixed by the Interstate Commerce Commits
son to be automatically reduced to equalize surplus
wages be fixed by the directors and all disputes settled
by special boards comprising five representatives each of
officials and men, with final appeal to directors.
The Cummns plan returns the roads to original own
ers with reorganization to consolidate all lines into from
20 to 25 systems approved by the Interstate Commerce
Commission capitalization not to exceed value of proper
ty; operation is to be under direction of railroad trans
poration board of five appointed by the President and
approved by the Senate under rates fixed by the Inter
state Commerce Commission which will divide the
try into five DISTRICTS wages are to be fixed by COM
mission with final appeal to the transportation board and
Interstate Commerce Commission with strikes prohibited
under penalty.
The two proposals differ radically in financial plans
The Plumb idea is to the to pay operating
penses interest and fixed charges and divide the surplus
equally between the government for improvements extern
sions, retiring bond sues rate reductions and the en-
ployes as dividend effciencytWo thirds to the
agerial force and one-third to classified employees
Under the Cummins plan, return to the owners is
limited to pal" dividends, instead OF government guar
antees half of surplus to be used for equipment balance
to promote ameoraton of labor conditions, to EXTEND
hospital relief to supplement insurance and pensions, to
give technical education to employees and to establish al
system Of profit sharing by employees.

strongly opposed by owners of railroad securities and

Willamette Enrolment Is
Largest OF, Record; Doors
Open for First Semester

This morning the halls Of "Greater
Willamette" are formally opened to
the student world and the registrar s
office is the busiest place in Salem.
Scores of former students and other
scores of new comers are on the ground
adjusting themselves to the new en-
vironment and the round of student
activities. 1t is evident that the enroll
ment will even surpass the expectations
of the faculty, and this with the ex-
tensions of departments will well en-
title the institution to the name
."Greater Willamette"
With one or two exceptions the fac
ulty will be the same as last year.
Prof Renfro, of the University of llli-
nois, takes the place in the department
of English left vacant by the resigna-
tion of Prof. Darden. Miss Lida Fake
of Milwaukee-Downer college, will be
at the head of the new department of
home economics. In the school of music
Miss Alice Holman, graduate of New
England Conservatory of Music, will
hold the position of assistant to DR..
John R. Sites, teaching piano, violin
and harmony.
Among other changes in the depart
ments the physical laboratory has been
moved to the basement floor of the
science building, where there will be
available floor space of $500 square
feet. At the same time valuable addi-
tions have been made to the equipment
The school of music is now being in
stalled in the upper rooms of the sci
encc building, where there will be am
pie rooms for both voice and piano
practice. The biological department, in
charge of Prof. Morton E. Peck and
wife, has been restored to its former
location in the science building, where
it will have an additional room for
The new department of home eco
nomics will prove very attractive to
the lady students because of its broad
scope. Among other features in the
course will be food economics, dietetics
hygiene and physiology. For several
weeks past workmen have been at
work installing tables, cobinets and
other equipment, all of modern type.
Coach Mathews, of the department
Of physical education, is planning
largely for the years work. In addi-
ton to the usual two years course re-
quired in physical trainin, the univcr-
sity this year is offering teachers
