naturally long period of debate
in Congress must ensue,' but goes
on to say that

action may be taken in time to pre-

to be settled by wise and practical

Taco Bodies

A fatal defect is discovered bv
The Tribune, which emphasizes, in
its comment, the fact that "under
the Cummins railway bill one gov
ernmental body is to fix wages and
another rates. The Transportation
Board, charged with wage respon-
sibility, has nothing to say about
rates. The Interstate Commerce
Commission, charged with RESPONSE
bility concerning rates, has nothing
to say about wages"
Two bodies, argues The Tribune,
subject to different influences "are
likely to reach different conclu-
sions." For example:
"Ihe transportation Board, having
no duty to find the money to meet an
enlarged payroll, would naturally tend
to yield to demands Of employees, while

The following editorial excerpt
from "The Omaha World Herald"i is
representative OF Democratic COM
ment:
"Not too soon has Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States gone
out among his countrymen.
Never before was his superb and un-
daunted leadership so imperatively
needed as now, to rally the men and
women Of this great and proud nation,
with its stainless traditions, to save
it from the burning, bliste1ing dis
grace that the Knoxes and Hi john
sons and Borahs and Brandegees woui
put upon it, ineradicable forever.
"If these men can have their way now,
then we must confess that the ideals W

special guardian of the interests Of
shippers, would struggle to keep rates
low Surely, here is no alluring
prospect for railway owners.
"The double arrangement would, of
course, place with the Transportation
Board power over rates as we'll as over
wages. The commission would not be
legally bound to raise rates to offset
wage increases, but practically it
would be coerced. If it resisted be-
yond certain point paycars would
havo no funds.
"Whether wage fixing should be
lodged with the commission or rate fix
ing with the board is question for
experts. But the two functions must
be united in some body if the rail
roads are not to be run at the expense
of the National Treasury and a rail
way budget Is to be made possible"

Splitting the Difference

That the bill "suits" everybody
is not to be considered as reason
able, the same writer admits. Often
the best practical results are OBJ
tanned by means Of well-conceived
compromises. And yet, though, as
1.-The Baltimore News" tells us, this
is distinctly compromise measure,
seeming to split the difference fair
~ we'll between regulated private
ownership and the Plumb plan, still,
splitting the difference between
two dramatically opposed plans
does not necessarily mean their
harmonization." In fact, ut may
mean the production of a plan so
full Of contradiction that it won't
work."
But far more optimistic view is
