R. CHANGES
CO Unto EFFECT
Two Important Changes in
Governments Policy To-
wards Nations Carriers

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Two
important changes in government
policy towards the nations rail-
roads became effective today.
The section of the transportation
act fixing 6 per cent. as the return
on railroad property which railroads
are entitled to earn under interstate
commerce commission regulations
expires today. Also with today ex-
pires the period during which rail-
reads, controlled by the government
during the var are entitled to ask
for government loans to aid them
in continuing operations after re-
turn to private management.
The 6 per cent. return clause, gen.
orally called a guarantee provision,
is superseded today by the transport
tation act provision which requires
the interstate commerce commission
to make rates that will give rail-
roads a reasonable return on the
value of property used in transport
t~ation."
The commission is expected to de-
fine what earnings constitute rea-
sonable returns and make rates ac-
cordingly. The subject OF the def
milton of reasonable returns already
has been taken up formally by the
commission for ,the purpose of Sc
curing arguments from railroads
and interested parties to proceed
ings before it, in relation to rate
regulations.
Applications for railroads desir-
ing the government loans have been
pouring anto the commission in con-
siderable numbers during the last
few days endeavoring to get in be-
fore the limitation began.
