evils In every business or activity
subject to the limitations Of human
power. But after observing the man.
agement of affairs In various branches
of the. government service during the
present socialistic administration,
there will be few who will deny that
the evils Of government ownership
and operation far transcend those of
private management.
We hear little lately Of the Plumb
plan. The advocates of that COM
munistic scheme have observed the
overwhelming popular disapproval of
the plan, SO they have dropped the
use OF the name. But they are none
the less active, and by indirection
are striving to create situation
which they hope will lead to the ac-
complishment OF their desire-gov-
ernment purchase. of the roads with
subsequent operation by commits
sion over which the employees will
have control Discontinuance OF the

discontinuance Of the movement.

GENERAL BUSINESS CONDITIONS

The Herald editor has just returned
from ten days visit ut Omaha and
Lincoln, and during his stay in these
cities utilized every opportunity pos
sible to gain first hand knowledge
OF business conditions and the gener-
al feeling among bankers, business
men, farmers and stockgrowers as to
the prospects for the future.
The general feeling we found to be,
that the country at bottom was fund
amentally sound. that no disastrous
upheaval or anything approaching a
panic was possible, but that prices
had very little prospects of advanc-
ing in agricultural products or other
commodities for some time, at least.
while other goods which were still
held at high level must stand sub
stantial reduction from present
prices.
A panic, as distinguished from a
period OF depression, (Which is now
upon us) is accompnied by an un-
reasonable fear, or want Of confidence
in banks and financial institutions re-
gardless OF their condition or the
manner in which they have been con-
Quoted.
The present conditions are absolute.
ly free from panickey symptoms. but
is rather sharp readjustment OF
business which is nature and bound
to follow the era of so-called pros
perity and imitation.

PLUMB PLANNERS PERsIsTANT

FLU NIB fLANNEhS fEitololA AM
Nearly every move of high officials
of the organizations OF railroad en-
ployes seems to be directed to ulti-
mate federal ownership of roads and
their employees under the Plumb
plan, declares the republican publi-
city association. through its presi-
dent, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr.
This attitude Is probably not prompt
ed by any conscious personal am
bition. Naturally the officials of the
railroad labor organizations feel that
they are better qualified to run the
roads than are the men who have
worked their way up to their pres
ent positions through the operation
service or through the business ofli-
ces. Naturally, too, they think the
management would be better II con
trolled by the employees rather than
by themen and women who have in
vested their savings in railroad
stocks. 1t is not uncommon for the
higher employees of concern to think
they could run the business better
than the owner does, regardless of
the fact that the owner is impelled
by self interest to promote economy
and efficiency wherever possible. In
one sense, this attitude is not to the
discredit of the employee, for self
confidence stimulates effort.
But the fact remains, and is read
lily apparent to the thinking citizen
having no direct interest in the man.
agement Of the railroads, that the
present system OF ownership and op-
Grafton is best. In the past few
years we have had thousands of dem
onstrations that government owner
ship or operation leads to extrava-
gance and waste. II the labor union
leaders should succeed in their effort
to secure the adoption OF the Plumb
plan. and the government should is.
sue some $4,000. 100000 of bonds to
buy the roads. the first expenditure
for purchase OF the properties would
be followed by demands from every
sectio nof the country for appropria-
tions or bond issues for Improvement
Of the property and the building OF
new lines. The extent and location
OF the improvements would become
largely matter Of pork barrel leg.
islation or Of administration.
But the waste In expenditures by
the government as owner OF the rail.
roads would be even less than the
waste In operation. A everybody
knows. the government operation Of
the railroads during the war resulted
In enormous increases In the number
Of employees out Of pro.
portion to the trafnc handled. With
the employees In practically full con.
troll Of the management, the tendency
would be constantly to reduce the
hours Of employment. increase the
number Of employees. advance wager.
and require less efficiency through
diminished discipline. Managers Sc.
lected by the employees would view
every problem from the standpoint
OF the employee. thus making the
railroad worker subject Of special
favor and further unbalancing the Ia
Dor situation.
II may be readily admitted that
there are evils In private ownership

Club Talk
WOULD RATIFY WITH
MILD RESERVATIONS

President Wilson's plea for a League
Of Nations was supported by United
states senator Josiah o. Wolcott IN a
lengthy dissertation before the New
Century Club last night Ny. Woleott
favored ratification Of The peace treaty
now before the Senate with some mild
reservations.
Opposition to the treaty, said Mr..
volcoit. came from a fear that this
country was entering upon new
course with reference 10 European
politics. It was felt, he said, that our
becoming a party to The league might
lead us to a position where we might
be plunged into war. lie disputed tfis'
The League of Nations covenant ne
said. contained provisions for reducing
armament. Unless some such course
were taken there would be no end to
the expense Involved in maintaining a
great navy and army.
The mere fact, continued the Sena-
tor. that nations associated In the
league agreed to postpone warlike set
tlement of their differences until their
quarrel had been discussed by the COun-
Oh 0ffthe League and recommendations
