DESTROYING THE CANALS

While we are all talking waterways and agitating the
spending of millions of dollars for constructing new canals,
those that already exist are gradually being allowed to go to
ruin.
The latest instance of this kind to come to our attention is
the ~Schuylkill canal running up into the coal districts of Penn
sylvania and make direct connection with tidewater at
Philadelphia. This canal at one time was of the utmost i'm
portance. Vast quantities of coal were shipped over it to
tdewater where 1t was loaded into larger vessels to be dis
tributed up and down the coast.
But the history of the Schuylkill canal is the same as all
the rest. The competing railroad, in this case the Reading
Railway Company, got control and Immediately the waterway
began to fall into dsuse, all the shipments being forced to the
railroad.
Waterways are the natural arteries of traffic for bulk
freight. Goal, ore, grain, sand and stone can, without a doubt,
be carried more cheaply by water than by rail.
Goal from Pennsylvania, coming down the Lehigh or the
SchuylknI canals could reach the Delaware and from there go
south into the Chesapeake to Baltimore and Washington and
on to Carolinas, or 1t could cross New Jersey by the proposed
ship canal and go on up the Hudson and across New York
state through the state barge canal, or up Long Island sound to
New England. All this could be done without rehanding If the
waterway were ample for modern draft barges and tugboats.
We are not familiar with the situation in connection with
these Pennsylvania canals, but we are inclined to believe that
If something were done to keep them open SO that they might
form the basis for an improved system of canals in the near fu-
ture, the public would be greatly benefited.
OF course, the railroads do not want the waterways as
competitors, but there is nothing that will reduce the cost of
transportation quicker than the development of the nations
waterways and with the cost of transportation down, the cost
of living comes down also.
Coal, especially, is one of the greatest problems at
the present time, and anything that will tend to make it cheap
er ought to be encouraged rather than destroyed.
Something should be done to rescue these canals running
up into the coal fields of Pennsylvania before it is too late, if
it is not too late already.

THE RAILROAD PROBLEM

In an effort to help it's readers understand every phase of
the great railroad problem that is now confronting the coun-
try the EVENING NEWS is publishing a series of articles on
what is known as the Plumb plan, written by Glenn E. Plumb,
the originator of The idea. If anyone should be able to describe
this plan to its best advantage it surely ought to be Mr.. Plumb
himself.
This plan gives rise to the biggest issue confronting the
people of the United States. tits predicted that a new political
party will center about the Plumb plan.
Whether or not you are in favor of the solution advanced
by the railroad brotherhoods for the railroad problem, you
should famfliarize yourself with the plan in its details.
Mr.. Plumb's articles are simple and concise. They cover
all points, from the railroad mems viewpoint. Read them care
fully.
Yesterday Mr.. Plumb gave a general outline of the plan.
In the second article today he explains the proposal for
financing the nationalized railroads.
In the third he explains the operating method.
In the fourth he dwells on the labor question involved.
In the fifth he defends the plan against the charge that it
is socialistio and ~un-Amercan.
In the sixth he answers the charge that the brotherhoods
Intend to force the plan upon the country by the threat of a
strike.
Because the EVENING NEWS publishes these articles it
does not necessarily follow that it is in sympathy with the plan
as proposed; the EVENING NEWS merely desires to do its part
in giving the plan a fair hearing. The problem is SO big and
so important and there are so many different phases to it that
it is impossible at this time to know what is best to be done in
the matter.
A few days ago Senator Cummins proposed a bill to the
United States Senate providing for the return of the railroads
to their former owners under certain restrictions and regula->
tions. 1t is understood that there is still another bill along
similar lines to make its appearance In the House, fathered by
Congressman Esch. Both are entirely different from the Plumb
plan, which has the backing of the railroad employees and
which is also endorsed by organized labor.
AS radical as the Plumb plan seems upon first reading
1t must be admitted that it has many good features. One
thing is certain, it cannot be ignored no matter how much
Wall street would like to forget 1t. The Plumb plan Is offer
ed by the two and q half million of railroad employees as their
best solution for the problem and they are backed by organ
lied labor in general. This fact alone gives the Plumb plan
On Importance that must be recognized.

that the modern idea of farm efficiency
demands is that the hogs be housed In
a building that can be- kept clean and
is SO arranged that the swine can be
cared for with the least amount of eff
fort.
1t may be trite to say Ii, but hogs
are valuable property these days. A
little more money spent on the hog
house means fatter and healthier ami
mails, and each additional pound is
worth real money about the time snow

/ Herewith Is shown a modern swine
establishment. in which are embodied
