THE GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP FARCE.

If the government operation as to be made the lever to make govern
ment ownership of railroads possible, it has resulted IN a farce. That is a
mild term for it, as it is more than likely to prove a tragedy, or 1t best, a
tragic comedy, with the public at least
Congress is asked to provide 1900 millions to carry on the farce for the
current year, the deficit the first four months being greater than the de-
deficit for the past year. A total of s1700O00O00 has been necessary from
the taxpayers under government control-a sum beyond the grasp of the or
binary citizen, and he can only gasp for wind, and face the taxes.
1t is now expected that the railroads will be returned to private manage
ment by the first of October. and so there are extensions planned for
this year by the big systems Railroad development has practically been at
a standstl for two years, and the only big direct effect Of government opera
ton has been artificial stimulation of payroIs.
The railroad properties face the W prongs Of a dnemma-to reduce ope-
rating expenses to the incomes, or to ask recGverships and raise rates all

be resisted by organized labor and political influences that want the labor
