RAIL Way RATES
TO BE ADVANCED
Public Treasury Will Be Relieved
of Burden of Meeting Deficits
in Earnings.
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 6,OOO news
paper editors throughout the country
has aroused great interest at the ma
tional capital. With SO per cent. OF
the editors giving 1t 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
eminent ownership or operation. 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 a general agree
ment that the following steps will have
to be taken before the roads are re-
turned to their owners:
/. 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
so to 90 per cent
2. Greater naturalization of public
control of transportation-a single
public control in the Federal Govern.
ment in place of 40 masters in the diff
ferent States, with conflicting laws
and regulations.
8. Liquidation 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 a sufficient income
on capital to attract the $4,000 600
to 81 1000 100000 of new capital need
ed every year for the expansion of rail-
road facilities.
How the States voted in the nation.

the return of the railroads to private
management is shown by the following

great horrors upon the Muscovltes y
reports are true. The unnecessary
slaughter in the Masurian Lakes
while Hindenburg was in command
will long be remembered. About THIS
time the Russians ran amrck in Ga

outrag.s.
