some of the most important existing
water routes. coordinate them with
the railroads and prove their worth
as part of a great American trans
portation system.
IT also feel that the Government
should control the railroads and the
inland waterways for a period of five
years, so that they may in turn be
co-ordinated with our Government
merchant marine, which has been
built at a cost of more than two bill
lion dollars and which. under exist
ing law. the Government controls for
a f1ve-year period.
UNLESS we look at this great prob
lem with vision and from the stand
point solely of the American people
instead of from the standpoint of the
selfish interest of private railroad
owners, private steamship owners
private shippers. private investors, OF
any other single class, we shall not
measure up to our obligations to the
American people nor realize the great
opportunities and destiny that lie
ahead of u.s."

M'ApOO INSISTS
NATION SHOULD
CONTROL RAILS
Says Waterways of Country
Cannot Be Developed With
Competition Hindering

Santa Barbara, Cal. Jan. CIV. G.
McAdoo. former Director General OF
Railroads and former Secretary OF
the Treasury, made public to-day a
telegram in which he urged flve-year
Government control of the railroads
as necessity for the development OF
inland waterways and for the CO.
ordination of the railroads and wa
terways with the new American
merchant marine. The telegram, ad-
dressed to Albert Krell, chairman OF
the Miami and Erie Improvement
Committee of the Cincinnati Cham
Der of Commerce. said:
1t seems TO me futile to eXpend
great sums of money on the develop
ment of our inland waterways unless
our Government adopts an intelligent
policy about railroad control. The
future of waterways development is
absolutely dependent upon a Govern
ment control which will enforce the
operation of the waterways and the
railroads and a co-ordinated and ar
ticulated system which will give the
people the benefits of an efficient
combination of water and rail facili-
ties. This cannot be accomplished
under the present railroad law, which
provides that the railroads cannot be
controlled by the Government for a
longer period than twenty-one
months after the return of peace.
Within a. twenty y-one-month period
no substantial development of exist
ing waterways can be made, nor can
their operation in so brief a period
afford any adequate test of their
values.
Upon the return of the railroads
to private ownership, which must be
made within a twenty-ope- month pc
riod. as the present law provides, the
cutthroat competition of the rail-
roads under private control with the
partially developed waterways will
effectively destroy water transporta-
tion as heretofore and the peoples
Investment in these facilities will con-
tinue to be of little, il any, value.
"I have urged the Congress to ex-
tend the period of Federal control OF
the railroads for five years, because
that will give us time to develop

Stop Itching Eczema

Never mind how often you have tried
and failed, you can stop burning, itching
eczema quickly by applying little zemo
furnished by any druggist for 35c. Extra
large bottle, $1.00. Healing begins the
moment zemo is applied. In a short
time usually every trace of eczema,
letter. pimples, rash, blackheads and
similar skin diseases will be removed.
For clearing the skin and making it
vigorously healthy, always use zemo, the
penetrating, antisepticiiquid. 1t is not a
greasy salve and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable
treatment for skin troubles of all kinds.
