EDITORS POLL IN CONGRESS
Heavy Vote for Return Of Roads
Arouses Interest at the Ma
tionaI Capital.

Washington.-The national. poll on
the railroad question by 5000 news
paper editors throughout the country
has aroused great interest at the ma
tional capital. With SO per cent. Of
khe editors giving it as their impartial
opinion that the public favors an early
return of the railroads to their own
ers and only IL per cent. favoring Gov
ernment ownership or operation, the
members of Congress Of both polit-
lcal parties propose to provide speed
ny for the legislation to make 1t pos
sible to restore the roads to private
management before the end of the
year,
In Congress there Is general agree
ment that the following steps will have
to be taken before the roads are re-
turned to their owners:
i. An advance in rates to meet the
greatly increased cost of labor and
materials in order that the Public
Treasury may be relieved OF the bur-
den Of meeting monthly deficits and
the roads made self-supporting. The
Director General Of Railroads states
that the increase In rates thus far is
about rs per cent. as compared with
m increase in operating costs Of from
20 to 80 per cent.
/ 2. Greater naturalization of public
control OF transportation-a single
public control in the Federal Govern
lment In place OF 40 masters in the diff
Eerent States, with conflicting laws
md regulations.
] 8. Legalization Of consultations and
common use Of lines and facilities
whenever in the public interest.
4. Assurance through an act Of Con-
Eress that in the future the Govern.
ment will approve of rates for freight
and passengers that will not only be
fair to the public, but fair to the roads,
and that will yield sufficient income
on capital to attract the $750,0O0,OOO

ed every year for the expansion of rail-
