RAIL PLAN STATED
BY Mr.. CUMM|NS
Senator Believes Return to
Private Ownership Is Need
of Service.
Fifteen GREAT SYSTEMS

The consolidation Of Americas rail-
roads into fifteen or twenty great
competitive systems, to be supervised
by Uncle Sam and administered by
private corporations, was advocated
by Senator Cumming of Iowa. new
chairman Of the Senate interstate
commerce committee, speaking this
morning before the convention Of the
American Short Line Railroad Associa-
ton at the Willard
Discretion and Judgment Needed.
Senator Cummins, although firm in
his expressed conviction that trans
portation is as much a governmental
ton, declared he was not In favor of
government operation. When the
government comes to select the in
strumentality by which it may super
wise the nations transportation, the
senator said, it must use wise dis,
erection and sound judgment, and
both these qualities demand that the
roads be RENTED to private corpora
tons. which can render the service
desired far better than can the fed
eral authorities.
There are insuperable obstacles to
direct governmental operation" he
concluded, mo matter how efficient.
patriotic and conscientious director
general OF railroads. might De.
Senator Cummins recommended that
the fifteen or twenty great privately
operated systems he considered essen
tial should be under governmental
guarantee of certain return. This
rate of return should be the same as
that on governmental obligations,
with an additional return based on
the efficiency and good management
Of the roads. He pointed out the
great discrepancies in the rates Of re-
turn Of the different roads for the
three-year period ended June 80, 1917.
and said there is no way other than
through the consolidation plan where
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion can fix rates on which some
roads. can exist without lifting the
richer roads to an aff1uence intoier-
able to the country.
Would Uphold Constitution.
Senator Ellison Du Rant Smith of
South Carolina, the first speaker
this morning. see forth the startling
economic and political nituation with
which the world is confronted
war, and urged his audience, as
American citizens, to stand by the
Constitution and by old-fashioned
democracy.
No further speeches are scheduled.
The convention is occupied this aft
ernoon. the last scheduled session,
with business, including reports of
portant being those of the resolu-
tons, nominations and finance COM

that Bird M. Robinson. president. and
his fellow executives will be contin-

|. WILL OPPOSE
. SCHOOLBOARD
Form Association to Oppose Re-
organization Plan Of Dr..
Van Schaick.

Announcement by the Board of
Education of a five-year school build
Ign program; formation of a grade
school teachers association to oppose
the reorganization plan OF the school
board, and to speak and talk for
themselves" and superintendent of
Schools Thurston opposing the views
OF the Board OF Education on re-
Organization. were among the several
Developments in school circles today.
A dve-year school building pro-
gram, designed to relieve perma-
public schools, is being planned by
the Board of Education. Recon-
mendations for the erection of many
new twenty-four room school build
ings will be sent TO Congress in the
near future. 1t was learned today.
The Board for long time has been
considering the school problem, and
It's solution. 1t learned many months
ago that providing more schools was
the only way to permanently relieve
congestion At several meetings and
Informal conferences the board dis
cussed the situation.
1t was at q recent meeting that DR..
Henry b. Learned. of the board out
lined a program providing for q mon
ster building project. DR.. Learneds
rough outline of the five-year plan
was received with approval by mem
bers of the board. Steps were begun
Immediately following this meeting
to formulate some definite program
to present to Congress.
Immediate relief from congestion is
provided in the deficiency appro-
priation asked Of Congress by the
board. This emergency fund pro-
vides for the addition OF 152 teachers
to the force. which will relieve: con-
sestion in the $40 crowded class
rooms.
As no definite plan had been map
ped out, the board would not give
out brief OF its plans. but DR.. John
Van Schaick. president OF the board.
explained the general aims of the
board.
Views of Ernest L. Thurston, su-
perintendent Of schools, on the public
school system reorkAnixation plan, do
not coincide with those of members
OF the Board Of Education, it develop
ed yesterday when the superintendent
addressed the entire school organiza-
ton in Central High School, Just a
few minutes after DIR. John Van
Schaick. board president, had explain
ed the plan to 2,4o0 teachers and Of
ffcials
Superintendent Thurston pointed
out that, except for few instances,
the plan to divide the schools into
fifty groups, instead Of the present
thirteen, was impractical. 1t Is i'm
possible, he said, for principal to
satisfactorily handle and answer all,
questions arising during the day in
the several schools under his SUPER
vision, when the schools are many
blocks apart. Teachers gave evidences
of approval of certain things he
brought out in the reorganization
plan by applauding. When Superin-
tendent Thurston started his speech
the teachers, applauded for several
minutes.
