JuRnlNo BACK TINE RAILROADS.

While no plan for turning back the
railroads seems to meet unified as
sent plans have been carefully worked
out and submitted to the interstate
commerce commission by railroad
presidents and suggestions OF other
plans are plentiful. The feeling in
congress seems to be settled fairly
however that the roads are to be
turned back with n string attached to
government. Mr.. McAdoo's suggestion
is not well received and the plan 81
the railroad presidents does not appear
to meet general approval. From corre-
spondents close to the situation the
report Is that congressman are stu
waiting for a better suggestion.
II is a muddle made by one party
administration and left for republl-
cans to straighten out. 1t will require
some Strengthening and when all Is
finished there will be crooks and twists
visible to the naked eye. For big
fight is due on fundamental points in
and out Of congress.
On some points the interstate com
mission and the railways and stock and
bond holders and from general obser-
walton the public with them agree that
the IDS should he returned TO private
ownership as quickly as possible, that
the McAdoo five-year scheme should
not be considered, that state and fed
eral regulations should be harmonized
and that the roads should have rea-
sonable return on the money invested.
Also that government regulation should
APPROACH az closely as feasible to con-
troll
One point upon which reports agree
that big fight is certain is the pro-
posal of the railroad presidents to take
away the power OF the interstate COM
merce commission to suspend proposed
rate increases pending an investiga-
ton as TO reaeonableness. That power
was given to the commission in 1910,
ad it was the real cause Of the bitter
fight that has been going on for the
last nine years between the railroad
presidents on one side and on the other
those who approve real government
regulation. The law of 1910 was passed
because of the widespread public de-
mand growing out Of the steady rate
, increases beginning with 1900. First,
commodities were taken out OF one
class and put In another bearing
| higher rate, and then In 1903 and again
in 1907 there were horizontal increases,
First, railway employees asked for

creases. In 1910, just before the law
was passed. an unsuccessful effort was
made TO secure another horizontal rate
increase. II Is pointed out that II the
power 10 suspend a proposed rate in
crease were placed in the hands of a
secretary Of transportation, one single
man who came into Office new every
four or eight years would have to pass
judgment, whereas today there are
nine commissioners, only one Of which
goes out of office each year. That
means that always there are eight
men in office who have knowledge Of
what has gone before. The term Of
