expected to develop lively interest in
the converting of the legislature.

ing as many factions or political in
terests. Assemblyman Riley Young
of Darien is the accepted Philip can
didate, although the governors close
friends say that he is not taking any
size in the SpeakerShip contest. AS
semblyman John Chapple of Ashland
is the recognized Wilcox candidate,
representing the republicans who
came within 500 votes of defeating the
governor for denomination. Assem-
bIyman c. B. Ballard of Appleton is
the candidate, it is said, of the Equity
league. The fourth candidate, it is
believed, will be Thomas Nolan of
GAINESVILLE.
The senate organization may create
c new alignment growing out of the

ASKS TINE TO
TEST RAIL PLAN
McAdoo Urges Extension of Fed
eral Control Through
Peace Period.
SEES LOVER FREIGHT RATES
Loss in Operating Roads Is S136,0oo.-
o0o-High Rates Throughout Year
Would Have Left Surplus
of S1O0,Ooo,0oO.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Accomplish-
ments of railroads under federal con-
troll in the last twelve months and ar
guments for a fiye-year continuance of
government operation to provide fair
test of unified direction were recited
by Director General McAdoo. testifying
before the senate Interstate commerce
committee. which took up cOnsidera-
ton of control until 1924.
After citing reforms effected under
unified control the director general
said:
Il believe that under the handicapS
of war conditions a sufficient showing
has been made TO indicate that all the
reforms have mentioned are desirable
as permanent peace measures. Yet il
is clear that the general public has not
had an opportunity to appreciate this
and TO weigh the real value of what
has been accomplished. In view of the
far-reaching importance of any sOlu-
ton of the railroad question which may
be adopted, the public is entitled to
have, before the present federal con-
troll shall be terminated, a reasonably
fair test under peace conditions of the
advantage to be derived from these
reforms.
Operations under peace conditions
with a tenure so short as the twenty
one months cannot possibly constitute
a fair test"
Reasons for this, he explained. would
he the inevitable disturbance TO en-
plOyees' morale, the difficulty of carry
ing out an extensive program of i'm
prOvements and of forcing on railroad
companies necessary expenditures.
Another reason for a longer test pc
ROD said the director general, is the
ahvisability of having adequate infOr-
nation on valuation of railroad prop
erty, now being gathered by the inter-
state commerce commission to guide
congress in legislation providing a
permanent solution of the railroad
problem.
Mr. McAdOO estimated the govern
lnents loss in operating railroads this
year at S136,OOO.OOO. This represents
the difference between the amount
guaranteed to the roads as rental and
The sums credited to the government
in railroad income If the higher rates
had been in effect the entire year he
estimated the government would have
made a surplus of S100,000.000 and in
1919, with existing wages, operating
rs and traffic volume remaining
substantially the same as in last year.
the government should make a sur
plus of $1OO,OOO,OOO.
Since the object of the government
should be at all times to operate the
railroads not for profit, but ut cost, "
he added, land to render at the same
time the best possible service. | con-
iIdently believe that it will be possible
during the year 1919, or certainly ut
he end of the year 1919, to effect a
considerable reduction in rates unless
the traffic of 1919 should be much less
han it was in the year 1918"
Wage advances to railroad employees
last year added between 100000, 600
and $700,000,000 to the pay rolls.
Many economies brought about I'M
der unified management. Mr. McAdoo
said, will NOT be reflected until this
year.

TO HONOR FRANKLIN
U. S. TO CELEBRATE 213TH BIRTH
DAY OF PHILOSOPHER.
Purpose of Observance is to Encour-
age Continuance of National
Thrift.

Washington, Jan. 6. - Benjamin
Franklin, whose picture adorns the
1919 issue of the War Savings certifi-
Gates, will have on January This
213th birthday-one Of the most unique
birthday celebrations ever undertaken
in honor of a distinguished American.
1t will have the full backing of the
United States government.
The event will be celebrated through
special exercises to be held in the pub
lie schools throughout the country and
by various children's organizations.
More than 10000 War Savings socie-
ties will make the day special one.
In these and many other ways the ma
ton will join in paying a gigantlc
tribute to Benjamin Franklin, whose
words. of wisdom on thrift and saving
are familiar In every American home.
The purpose of this birthday cele-
bration is to encourage the contlnu-
ance of national thrift. Americans,
prewar MASTERS, became notable savers
under wars pressure. Matchmaking
this newly acquired thrift habit is the
task undertaken by the United States
treasury. Wise buying, sane saving
and sane investment are the watch
words of the 1919 thrift program.
officials of the United States gov
eminent point out the necessity for
continued thrift. There are many
tasks In Europe to be completed; the
army of occupation must be main
tanned, and many hundreds of thou
sands of American soldiers are to be
returned to their homes. The treas
ury department has therefore launched
program of education of the Ameri-
can people in thrift and saving.
