Corporations of whatever kind are

This is evident particularly in the

that they are as fortunate in their

in defiance of the public are fast be-

The existing railroads situation, OF
which everybody is complaining. in
Guiding managers, workers and the
public is due largely to Mr.. AcAdoo.
He is the man who promised that gov
eminent operation would keep rates
down and bring about greater eff
cheney. Almost the first thing he did
was to increase rates. Then he loaded
the railroads with thousands of UNI
necessary employees and increased the
cost of operation to such an extent
that with the highest rates ever known
the roads are unable to pay their way.
He was a party to the enactment of
the Adamson act, which for cowardice
and in its disastrous results, has never
been eaualed by any other piece of
legislation ever passed in this coun-
try. The experiment in government
control and operation of the roads
began under Mr.. McAdoo. When he
had got the properties into an i'm
possible situation, he got out and left
the wreck for others to dismantle.
The word failure" says the Manu-
'facturers' Record. but mildly describes
the conduct of the railroads under
the McAdoo regime.
