ADVOCATES WAKEFIELD
PLAN FOR RAILROADS
Former Head of Transportation
Forces in Army Says Plan
Would Provide Low Rates

NEW YORK, Stpt. 27.-In an
address last night by N. D. Ballan-
tine before the Traffic Club of
New York, the way was opened for
lower railroad freight rates should
the proposals made be adopted by
Congress.
Mr.. Ballantine was formerly
General Superintendent of Trans
portation of the American Expedi-
tionary Forces in Franct; was with
the Union Pacific Railroad in a
similar capacity for number OF
years, and is now president of
the National Railway Service Cor
poration, organized by the National
Association of Owners of Railroad
Securities.
Mr.. Ballantine takes his fgurts
from the records of the American
Railway Association, the only ac-
credited car service agency 'of all
the railroads. If Mr.. Ballentine's
conclusions from these figures are
correct, it is stated that the way
is open to Congress to establish
such an agency as viii Dr.ng about
the practicable joint use of railroad
facilities, including the pooling of
certain classes of interchange
freight cars.
Turning to the figures announc-
ed by the American Railway Asso-
citation, Mr.. Ballantine showed the
inconsistency and wide difference
in car service results had on various
railroads because of the lack of
co-ordinated relations which he
stated could be brought about
through the adoption of the So
called "Warfield Plan" for the pool
ing of freight cars and the joint
use of other facilities.
"As an evidence" said Mr.. Bal
lantine, "of the difference in re-
7ults obtained by various carriers,
I have taken from the records of
their railroad car service agency
the performance of two carriers in
Eastman territory, one we will call
Road A, the other road B. 1t is
shown that Road A, with n per
cent more cars on its line than
Road B, had 20 per cent less bad
order cars than B, while, B repair
ed "A per cent more cars than A."

The deal was made with the approval of Governor Bran don. The lands will be flooded by the Alabama Power company when the development at Lock IS is completed. The board of administration stated that the property has never been cul- tivated and could not be, and has been used only for pasturage. is located in close proximity to the Tal lapooSa river.
 Prison Farm No. consists of 692 miles northwest of Wetumpka. It has been known as the Buyck place. At one time state convicts were used at the farm, but the board of adminis- tration leased the land to private cit izenS last year. The price paid for the land probably is the largest ever paid for property in taht section. The Alabama Power company, according to information at the capitol, could not make the development contem- plated without the use of the lands for the back waters, and the company was forced to pay the states price, since q utility has no right to con- demn state property.
