RAIL LWkY RATES
 TO BE ADVANCED
Public Treasury Win Be Relieved of Burden of Meeting Deficits
 in Earnings.
EDITORS POLL IN CONGRESS.
Heavy Vote for Return of Roads ArouSeS interest at the Ma
 tional Capital.

Washington.-The national poll on the railroad question by 5000 news paper editors throughout the country has aroused great interest at the na- tional capital. With S3 per cent. of the editors giving it as their impartial opinion that the public favors an early return of the railroads to their own- CTS and only Il per cent. favoring Gov ernment ownership or opera ton, the members of Congress of both polit- ical parties propose to provide speed fly 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:
 l. 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 25 per cent. as compared with an increase in operating costs of from 50 to 90 per cent
 2 Greater naturalization of public control of transportation--a single public control in the Federal Govern ment in place of 49 masters in the diff ferent States, with conflicting laws and regulations.
 8. Legalization of consultations and common use of lines and facilities whenever in the public interest.
 4. Assurance through an act of Con- gress 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, 0,000,000 to S1,000,00 of new capital need ed every year for the expansion of rail- road facilities.
 How the States voted in the nation al poll of editors on the question of the return of the railroads to private management is shown by the following chart. That the railroad question is a non-partisan issue is plain from study of the table:

brute. But Sergius began to bore
me; D, my God! how insufferably
he bored me! And he was so weari-
somely weak, weaker than most
men, and. the Lord knows, they're
mostly made of butter, or milk-and-
water mixtures. And you bored
re dreadfully, too; the very
thought Of you before you came
filed me with a real distaste for
life.
%By the time you made your
squalling entrance into the world l

Gated trouble. and managed to
make a scapegoat of your father,

some even quicker since then.
After he'd spent some SOLDERING
