ton is absolutely essential II the
railroads intend to keep free from
government ownership" Horace C.
Young, attorney from Fargo. said in
an address before the local Rotary
club Tuesday
Rates, schedules and rebates must
be fixed for these competing carriers
just as they have been for the rail-
roads, Young asserted.
He pointed out that in the advent OF
government ownership, North Da-
kota would lose over seven per cent
Of its present tax revenue and cited
counties where over IS per cent of the
tax receipts are paid by the railroads.
Contrary to popular opinion, the
railroads have not a high capital
turnover each year. Young said. The
maximum was reached in 1926 and at
that time the turnover was only 495
per cent. During the last fiscal year
the railroads suffered deficit Of
$500, 900 900.
young expressed the opinion that
II people would look back to March,
1920, when the railroads were return
ed to the private owners. and remem-
Der the demoralized condition of the
lines at that time, they would not hesi-
tate to support program aiding the
private interests.
