and whether the roads operated their
transfer ferries for passenger service
at a loss or not, they received nothing
more from passengers crossing.
On the assumption of control by
the federal government, one Of the
first acts of the railroad administra-
ton was to impose, not twenty-five
cents extra on each trans-river pas
senger, but fifty cents. On long
journey this amount was absorbed in
the purchase of a ticket costing many
dollars; but on a short journey the
extra cost was keenly felt by the pas
senger and there were many kicks
Registered against the new order.
AS an illustration, the distance
from OpeIousas to Baton Rouge is
fifty-nine miles, including the trans
fer across the river at Anchorage.
At three cents per. mile the cost of a
ticket was SLIT. After government
war tax of eight per cent was added
this cost went up to $1.91; then came
the fifty cents extra for river trans
fer, and to that item was also added
the eight per cent war tax, or fifty
four cents in all This made the cost
(of ticket just $2.45, or more than
four cents per mile for the short dis
/ lance travelled.

The RAIL LINES
BACK TO OWNERS
Government Control of Transportation
Systems Ends After More Than
Two Years in Federal Hands
HUGE DEFICIT PILED UP
Despite Increased Rates, Uncle Sam
Faces Loss Estimated at More
Than Seven Hundred Million

Monday morning last at l2:Ol
o'clock, government control Of the
railroad lines of the nation came to
an end, after more than two years
in the hands Of the federal authorl-
ties. The roads were formally turned
back to their private owners who will
take up the work just where the gov
eminent left off, and, barring any
great strike of THE employees, things
will move along just as heretofore.
The roads were taken over by the
government last December two years
ago, and were handled directly by the
newly created federal railroad admin
istration. The act of congress TAX
ing over the control and operation of
the roads was a wartime measure,
the government agreeing to keep the
various lines in first-class condition
and to pay over to the owners a fixed
sum as profit for their operation.
The war terminated last November
a year ago, but the roads have been
handled under government control de-
spite that fact ever since. AS in all
other matters of general interest,
there was large class of people who
favored the government control the
ory and desired to see the lines kept
under such control for always. On
the other hand, another large class
entertained opposite views and said
in support Of their contention that
federal control had proven failure
and monetary loss and that only the
owners could operate the lines to the
best advantages of the people at large
and the thousands of stockholders.
Practically all railroad companies,
knowing that they would again re-
sumo private operation, prepared for
the change and reorganized by elect
ing their officials. The men who
served before government control, in
most cases, have been again returned
to office by the companies, while in
other cases new men who have earn
ed reputation in the railroad world
have assumed positions of response
bility and will attempt from now on
to show the stuff they are made of.
There is a demand for improved
freight and passenger service on the
part of the people and if the roads
under private control furnish what
the people insist upon, the cry for
federal ownership or control will un-
The star-progress. (Opelousas, La.) 1917-1921, 1920-03-13

doubtedly cease in due course of
time If. on the other hand, the pri-
vate owners fail to furnish improved
service and better equipment and al
low former slip-shod methods to pre-
vail. the hue and cry for federal con-
troll and ownership will never down,
but will become SO insistent that there
will be some drastic move to again
deprive the owners of their property
and place it in the hands of the gov
eminent.
The thousands Of employees Of the
roads also will have to be on their
good behavior. They are the highest
paid class in the nation, yet during
the war and the present reconstruc-
ton period they have seized every
opportunity to howl for increase OF
wages, setting up the high cost of liv-
ing as a plausible argument for their
demands. Receiving practically ev-
erything which they demanded, they
are not contented but are bowling for
still more pay, and, if granted, it will
act as sop and urge them to continue
in their desire for more and still more
wages. More wages for this class
means higher freight, express and,
may be, higher passenger rates. 1t
is either this last or bankruptcy for
the railroads, and if the owners grant
more wages naturally they are going
to make the people pay the extra cost
of operation.
The question naturally arises, will
the people stand for any further in
crease? Already we are paying
more than ever before, besides war
taxes on passenger tickets, freight
and express shipments, and the bur
den is getting just a little more than
the people can stand, and if this con-
tinues there will be very healthy de-
mand that the government again take
over the roads and perhaps buy them
outright.
Incidentally, the government, ac-
cording to the latest figures, lost more
than seven hundred million dollars in
the twenty-six months Of operation
No one is kicking over this huge loss
for it is recognized that it was nee.
essary in order to combine the roads
for better service during the war.

at is the opinion of the shipping
board that we will probably not be able
to operate passenger ships under pro-

Payne wrote to representative Mead.
The reason why is this: In December
the Moccason was to sail for South
America. Her berths We're all sold.
