 PRESENTS PLANS

 Revenue to Roads
By A.socla.ed Pres

Washington, August 20-Railway man. agement as represented by the Associa- tion of Railway executives today pre- sented to Congress it's plan for placing the railroad business of fre country upon a stable basis
 Appearing before the House Interstate Commerce committee. Thomas Dewitt Cuyler, chairman of the association. re- commended on beaafr O. his organization return of the railroads to private opera ton with legislative guarantees of ade- quate revenues to the roads and efficient service to the public.
 Both MT Cuyler and Alfred P Thom, counsel of the association. another wit ness, attacked the Plumb plan for tri- partite control of the roads under gov >ernment ownership as an impracticable system which the American people, wher fully informed would surely reject.
 Mir Thom devoted his testimony large ly to an attack on the Plumb plan, as- serting that it's provision for retirement of private capital would deprive the rail- roads of one~thrd of the lines bool value.
 This provision he added also would b. in conflict of supreme court decisions
  reservation as to what values should De excluded in determining what the gov ernment should pay to the rail owners. Congress, he asserted, could make ID such reservation, because the determina- tion of value is purely judicial ques- ton.
 Wage features of the Plumb plan. MT. Thom said. might be judged from past and present demands of rail employees considered in the light of the employes' full control over the wages. which he contended they would have under the pan
 Government regulation of railroads was blamed by MT. Thom for the presen. condition of the lines. He asserted tha the regulation had been oppressive anN corrective and had not taken into con sideration the maintenance of efficiency
 He said however. that he did not ask that regulation he diminished, but tNa' it be made successful, adding that the great problem before Congress was te stabilize the railroad business so that private investors would be attracted by rail securities.

TO CARRY OUT REFORMS

'In pursuance of this policy the gov
 ernments are now decided to carry out
 various reforms in Korea and it is
 their fixed determination to forward
 the progress of the country in order
 that all differences between Korea and
 Japan proper in matters of educat ticn,
 industry and of the civil service may
 finally be altogether obliterated The
 government is, moreover confidently
 looking forward to the eventual adop-
 tion in Koera of a system of provision
 al and municipal administration simila
 to that in operation in Japan proper,
 so far as circumstances would permi.
 For speedy attainment of the objecls great deal must necessarily depend upon the efforts of Koreans themselves toward their own upliftment
 T am well aware that the system of gendarmery prevailing in Korea is be- ing made subject of criticism at hone and abroad, but I would call attention to the fact that ths institution orig mated in attempts to meet the ex- agencies of the situation under the regime of residents general and was never intended to be a permanent ar rangement. It is now proposed to have gendarmery replaced by force of pe- lice to be placed under the control Of local governors in a manner similar to that which obtains in Japan proper, except in districts where candidates

ALL HOPE OF HEALTH
 LOST

They say that hope springs eternal in the human heart" This is true; and it is one of the greatest blessings of an al- wise Providence. But hope is foreign to the chronic invalid. to the victim of Acid stomach who has neelected the first symp- toms and allowed this condition to become more serious. Hope is lost to them, and in its place sits despair. With this terri ble despair that enters into the very bones black depression. It means mental inertia, despondency, moodiness, melancholy. crying spells. breeding over wrongs, nervous road to the asylum.
 sHow do healthy men and women ever get into such condition? In vast null titude of cases it is due. first of all, to Acid Stomach. And the most terrible thing about Acid Stomach is that it seems to the patient to be such an unimportant ailment this reason the first symptoms nearly always neglected with the result that Acid Stomach makes rapid headway. That ten dency to belch after eating. that "over full other first signs of Acid Stomach are looked upon as Just little indigestion Therr was never more, terrible mistake made. Acid Stomach makes chronic. life long invalids of men. women and children who ought to be splendid specimens of health.

Possibly most important of all, from the Korean point of view, the rescript by the emperor of Japan provides that Koreans shall have the same privileges and legal rights as Japanese. Here tofore Japanese have been privileged class.
 Baron Saito, former minister of state, and one of the best known of Japanese statesmen, becomes governor general sue ceeding Marshal Hasegawa MT. Mid zuno, former minister of interior in the Kato cabinet, succeeds Director Gen. sral Yamagata in administration.
 The executive orders carrying into ef- fectrve the emperor's rescript were issued today in Tokio. but have not yet been received here. They are outlined, how ever. in a statement by Premier Hara, cabIed to this country.
 The ernperor's rescript follows:
 TEXT OF RESCRIPT
 .~We have ever made it our aim to r,ronsote the security and welfare of our territory of Korea and to extend to the native population of that territory as our beloved subjects a fair and impartial treat atznent in all respects, to the end that they may without distinction of persons lead their lives in peace and in con- teutment We are persuaded that the stage of development at which the gen. eral situation has now arrived calls for certain reforms in the administration organization of the government-general of Korea and we issue our imperial command that such reforms be put into operation.
 .|The 4nes s,1res thus taken are solely aesignee 10 fseilitate the working of ad- rniristra ti5n and to secure good and cn- lirhtenes sacrament in pursuance or our settled policy and in fulfllment or the altered requirements of the coun- trv. Especially in view of the terrni- nation of the war in Europe and of rapid changes in the affairs of the world, we consider it highly desirable that every effort should be made for the advance ment of the national resources and the well being of the people.
 we call upon the public runctton- aries concerned to exercise their best endeavors in obedience to our wishes in order that a benign rule may be assured to Korea and that the people, dihgent and happy in attending their respective vacations. may enjoy the blessings of neace and contribute to the growing prosperity of the country.

 ITO sum up, however, It may pc stated that Korea and Japan proper forming equally integral parts of the same empire no distinction should II, principle be made between them and that it is the ultimate purpose Of the Japanese government in due course ti treat Korea as in all respects on tEe same footing with Japan proper. In this wise may be attained the only true object of the annexation and on these lines may be expected the permc nent advance and enlightnent of tie Koreans.
 q trust that the above brief o5 servations may assist the public at home and abroad to arrive at full comprehension of the true intentions and policy of the Japanese govern ment."

of Japan, and, in view of significant changes which have meanwhile presented themselves in the conditions of the coun-
 try, plan of various reforms in the
 Korean administrative system has for
 some time been engaging my attention.
 Unfortunately in March last disturb
 ances broke out in several parts of the
 peninsula, which for obvious reasons have retarded the introduction of the
 contemplated reforms It is much to be regretted that as is generally the case under like circumstances they gave birth to wild and baseless representations, some of which even went so far as to
 make new stories out of old incidents
 antedating the annexation.
 Being determined to be perfectly just and fair in the conduct of affairs con- nected with the recent uprisings, the gov- ernment will admit no excuse for any culprit whether he be a government of ficial or a private citizen. Take the Sugen occurrence, for instance There the government has caused the respon- siole officers who had already been sub- jected to administrative censure to be brought for trial before court martial. TWO DESIGNATIONS
 Tn proceeding to the reorganization of the system of the government general of Korea, regret to announce the resig- | general, and of Yamagta, director gen. eral of administration, both of whom have rendered eminent service to the state at the important posts which they have occupied for several years. To 1 fill the vacancies caused by their retire l ment, Baron Saito and MT. Midzuno have now been appointed respectively as gov- ernor general and director general of administration. I have no doubt that these two gentlemen will fully prove equal to the trust placed in them for carrying out the contemplated reforms I in Korea in conformity with the ex- pressed wishes of the government
 Korea is united geogra phically with | the main islands of Japan and the t1 o peoplessare closely related to each oth- l CT in race, in manners and customs, and in sentiments. No distinction pr ! inequality should be allowed to exist | between them as loyal subjects of the l same sovereign, whether politically so- cially or otherwise. These considera- tions are understood to have invari- ably been kept in view of the imperia, rescript issued at the time of the an- neXation, as well as in that which has just been issued. It should be noted
 that the existing administrative sys-
 tenn of Koera is not meant to be of a
 permanent and unalterable nature, but
 that it embodies provisional arrange ments calculated to meet the passin,
 needs of the transitory period until tns
 l final goal is reached.
