The Railroads

There are those who point
to the railroad situation at
present and compare it with
the so-called good times"
when McAdoo was director
general. Yes when McAdoo
was director general and had
charge of the railroads he had
all the money at his command
and all the power any one man
could be given. With that
money and that power he paid
the railroad men such high
wages that there was no reas-
on why the roads could not
operate without strike and at
the same time he piled up a
mammoth debt for the nation
to pay, for the people in gen
eral to settle, when the roads
went back to the owners.
1t is mainly because of that
eXtravagent use of money to
pay large railroad wages that
is causing the truble today.
And remember that era of big
wages paid the railroad work
men was being paid at time
when other men, young men
from every community, We're
taken and sent across the
water to do fighting at $33.
or thereaboutS, per month.
There was nothing lust in the
system. 1t was rank discrim-
ination. No wonder the rail
road workmen favor govern
ment ownership of the rail
roads. They profile. red dur
ing that war period when
other men, your sons, were
sent to work and fight for $33
and had no chance to get in on
the job OF making money for
themselves. These railroad
men want that kind of wage
continued. They would like
to have the government take
over the roads, but if the gov
ernment did there would be
some sorry workmen, for as
sure as the sun shines the wages
would soon seek level with
the governments postal wage
scale if the roads would be op-
Grated at no loss. If the post
al wage was raised to the
railroad wage demanded
by the workers it would
bankrupt the government.

The Tax Burdens
summer.

The Democratic party laid a heavy
burden of taxes upon the people.
Those taxes were not all due to the
prosecution Of the war. AS soon as
the Democratic administration came
into power in 1913 the Democratic
Congress began to increase approp-
riatioEs aid jump taxes. Each year
the appropriations for routine
expenditures We're vastly increased.
Even those increases were not
sufficient to meet the mounting
expenses under the Democratic
administration in time of peace. On
July 5. 1916. Representative Kitchin
OF North Carolina. Democratic chair
man of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, introduced a special tax bill
levyingS$ 200 100000 more on the
taxpayers of the country. This was
not only long before the United
States entered the war but 1t was at
time when the administration was
saying it would keep the country ont
OF war
When the Republican admin
istration came into power it found
the operating expenses OF the gov
erment heavier than ever known,
and the people burdened with 4 debt
of $24,0 100000. Regardless of
whether the money expended by the
Democratic administration had been

Cured were necessary. there was
nothing left for the Republican party
to do but TO assume the debts and
devise ways and means OF reducing
them.
At the same time it was essential
that taxes be reduced. TO accomp-
lish this, the Republican admin
isiration put into immediate effect
an economy program effecting rad
ical reductions in routine public
expenditures. These reductions en-
abled the Republican Congress in its
special session in the summer OF 1924
to enact a revenue law which reduced
the public taxes oyer $500, 900 900.
1t repealed the transportation
taxes levied on freight. express and
parcel post, aggregating over a mill

was paying at the rate of quarter
