THE income of the carriers is deter

the country must decide between a
policy of adequate revenues to the

policy of government ownership.
THE government is entitled to credit
for having given greater unity to rail-

1t has done much that the carriers
were prohibited from doing. The pub

the carriers in the joint use of equip

THE railroad legislation now pend

cult questions. but the most critical one
is that of providing for the future reg

a policy that will cause the carriers to
secure revenue sufficient to enable
them to perform their services ade-
Z quately and with progressive efficiency.
