Greatest Celebration Ever.


 Never in the city's history had such multitude of spectators turned out for any pageant. It was q. holiday for the metropolis, and the broad avenue was banked from the far end of Gen. tral park to Washington square with dense masses of humanity. Every window and every roof along the way was packed. Countless thousands were banked in the eastern edge of Central park and at least 100000 sat in the city's grandstand and those erected by speculators Wounded were given points of vantage.
 For Pershing it was the continuation of a long series of scenes of aduIa- tion. He was the commanding figure in an army of heroes. As the stern Visaged warrior, sitting his horse like a centaur rode through the arch which spans the avenue at 10th street there rose a cheer which vol level to the trees and crags in Central park. 1t was the beginning of an oVa- tion such as few Am orleans have had. Human threats could voice no louder welcome.

The Railway Investors League
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1919. by Frank crane)

What shall be done about the railroads?
This is the question asked by the Railway
Investors league in a pamphlet OF date
April Is, and no class has a better right TO
speak.
The railway officials have presented their
plan.
The shippers, the users of the railways,
have presented their plan.
The wage-earners, the employees, the
aborers on railways have told what they
want.
The bankers who finance railways, the
economists who theorize about railways, and
the politicians and legislators who make
laws for railways have had their say.
Also the national government, which
is supreme above us all. has laid its hand
upon the railways, using them as II used
all our lives and property, for its own pur-
poses, of defense and victory, against which
action, as an exigency of national necessity,
no good citizen of course has any objection.
But the war Is over. The problem OF
forming permanent policy is before us.
And in the determination of that pro-
gram no group Of people have a better
right to be heard than those who actually
own the railways.
/ These persons are they who own the
stocks and bonds Of the railways.
And their name is legion. As Mr.. James
Speyer, head Of the banking house of Speyer
and Company. which for more than half a
century has been identified with railroad
financing. says:
There is unique opportunity for settling
the railroad problem In a comprehensive
way while railroads are still in the hands of
the government and before they are re
turned to the owners. 1t would be great
pity ii this opportunity should be missed,
because another may not occur for many a
long year.
There is a mistaken notion that the
railroads are owned by few rich men.
There are over a million shareholders and
many millions of bondholders II Is time
that the owners of railroad securities, many
of moderate means. stand up and insist on
their rights.
/ ut is not only fair toward these investors
but also necessary for the country that rail-
road credit should be restored otherwise no
new capital can be obtained.
THE owners have right to ask Con-
gress TO pass real comprehensive legislation
to settle the railroad problem permanently.
just as the currency question was settled
thru the Reserve Bank Act, viz in a way
fair to all interests and for the benefit of
the country as whole
The organization Known as the Railway
Investors League has been formed to as
certain the will of them that really own
the roads and to make this will felt in
legislation.
So far. this League has expressed itself
In three demands:
/. That the railways be returned to
private ownership as soon as possible. The
The Seattle star. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1899-1947, 1919-05-27
On the Issue Of

Be NO Compromise

reason Of this is because our government
is tied up with the system of party politics.
z. That the railways be under control and
regulation by the National Government,
which should guarantee to the owners a
fixed return on the amount of their invest
ment.
3. That the relation between the gov
eminent and the railways should be CO.
operative and not antagonistic; the roads
being handled by an ADMINISTRATIVE judicial
body at Washington and subsidiary region
AIRY boards, somewhat along the lines Of
the Federal Reserve System"
Whether this is the Way Out we cannct
say until we hear from our great-gfan
children. But certainly, in the meantime1
the vast army of folks who have invested
their saving in railway securities have q
right to be heard.
