NPADdO. 91m railroad problem is today ow of the most, if not the fnost, impor­ tant and vital domestic questions facing the American people. Our welfare and prosperity depend" on its proper solution. Therefore it is peculiarly necessary that the' fdets regarding It be understood clearly; that it be set­ tled not along partisan political lines nor In deference to the prejudices of any class; that the American people face the issue boldly and dispose of it as courageously as they have always done with every basic problem they have had to meet Let me s^y, Immediately that I have no pet theory to advance In discussing the settlement of the railroad ques­ tion. At the present time I am neither an advocate nor an opponent of gov­ ernment ownership... But ^fhlle my tendency is against government own­ ership and in favor of a wisely regu­ lated private ownership under strong federal control, I am frank to say that 1 am not afraid of government owner­ ship should experience, gained by an adequate test, prove that It Is the best solution of the problem. We are liv­ ing in a new day In America; the world is throwing off old shackles; we must do what seems best in view of ascertained facts regardless of pre­ conceptions. I favor a five-year test period because I believe its results will tell us convincingly which Is better-- government ownership or private own­ ership wisely and adequately regulated under the superior authority of the federal government. Calls Attention to Problem. The recent suggestion I made to the congress for such a test under peace conditions has at least served to con­ centrate attention on the. problem. Many of the attacks on the plan plain­ ly have been dictated by selfish in­ terests ; others just as plainly are due to misunderstanding. The suggestion most generally, ad­ vanced by the opposition Is that the roads be continued under government operation for the twenty-one months' period after the war, as provided by the present federal control act, and that during that time remedial legis­ lation (there is an utter lack of agree­ ment on the details of such legisla­ tion)' be enacted to return the roads to their private owners. There are two reasons why such a course seems to me impossible; first, 'the roads cannot be operated success­ fully under the present act for twenty- one months with the prospect of their return to their owners at the end of that time approaching nearer every day; and second, no adequate and fair remedial legislation can be obtained within that time In view of the polit­ ical situation, and the lack of crystal­ lization of the thought of the nation as to what is the best permanent so­ lution. In discussing these two points, I must be frank, for the American peo­ ple are entitled to frankness. This is their problem, and they are going 'to settle It sooner or later whether cer­ tain interests want them to or not. The most serious obstacle to going on with the present system of federal control under existing limitations while the congress tries to work out remedial legislation Is that of morale. Some purposely blind people appear to think this an idle argument, put for­ ward to bolster up. a plan. They do not know the situation. "No man can serve two masters." Face Stubborn Fact. The railroad officials and employees of the United States are only human. If they see the end of federal control rapidly approaching, with their posi­ tions and their future the constant subject of partisan political contro­ versy, and with an entirely different system of control, which will vitally affect each individual employee, about to go in effect they naturally cannot work with undivided thought and at the highest point of efficiency; they will be thinking inevitably of the In­ terests of the private owners whose employees they will soon become, and they will pay less and less attention to the government officials operating the roads. Where the interests of the private owners and of the government clash, as they unavoidably w^l In many cases, employees will hesitate which interest to serve. Confusion and lack of efficiency are bound to result. This is not theory; this is ft stubborn fact that must be faced. Already signs of the difficulty are beginning to appear. With other forms of industry this might not be so serious, but the prosperity and even the lives of mil­ lions of Americans depend upoa the discipline and efficiency of the Ameri­ can railroad machine .Then, too, were the effort made to continue the present control under ex- isting legislation, the railroads, from a physical standpoint, might stand still or even deteriorate during the twenty- one months' period. Without the co­ operation of the railroad corporations, it is difficult under the present law to carry forward Improvements or to ob­ tain needed equipment. Already many of the railroads are resisting pur­ chases of necessary equipment for their account. Many of the necessary improvements, such as joint terminals, while of great benefit to the public, are not relished by some railroad cor­ porations for .competitive and there­ fore selfish rfcasons.y Such Improve­ ments would result In great econo­ mies, without which it probably would be Impossible to reduce passenger or freight rates during the twenty-one months' period. It is Impossible to carry forward an adequate program of improvements and to demonstrate those operative economies which will cheapen transportation la a shorter pe­ riod than five years. Must Keep Out of PolltlcaJ^I;' ̂ I would prefer not to mention pott-" tics In connection with this problem, because primarily it is an economic question. But we must not be blind. The American people have been dis­ cussing the railroads for generations; almost every man in public life has gone on record on some phase of the subject. In 1920 there will be a presi­ dential election. It is idle to suppose that under such conditions It will be possible during this or the next con­ gress to secure calm and deliberate consideration of the ultimate solution of the problem, much less a fair and adequate permanent settlement. This vital Question must not be settled in the heat or passion of partisan poll- tics; It must be dealt with in the calm of an lnter-presldential election period. Some of the opponents of the sug­ gested five-year extension of federal control appear to de so on the ground that the operating revenues during the year 1918 will be insufficient to pay the rentals guaranteed to the owners. They forget that most of the wage Increases granted to employees took effect January 1, 1918, whereas the increased passenger and freight rates did not go into effect until six months later. If increased freight and pas­ senger rates had gone into effect Jan­ uary 1, 1918, at the same time as the wage increases, there would have been no deficit. They also forget that the government took over the roads when they were completely paralyzed and when the greatest congestion of traffic In their history. was upon them. It cost the government millions of dollars to clear up the congestion and get the railroads running again efficiently. They also forget that blizzard followed blizzard, and that it cost much money to overcome their effects. They for­ get, too, that the price-of coal, of steel, and of other supplies was far above normal during the past year. These added expenses all would have had to be met had the roads continued under private control, and to pay for them, rates would have had to be Increased. Private operation the past year would have failed utterly and the deficit would have been greater perhaps than under government management. " Economies Can Be Effected. Under peace conditions, and with a period of five years of federal control assured, it should be possible to main­ tain existing wages and working condi­ tions and to effect such economies, that reductions in rates, both passen­ ger and freight, ought to follow with­ in a reasonable time. Unquestionably economies can be effected under uni­ fied control that cannot be practiced under diversified control. Already the extra charge of one-half cent a mile for riding in sleeping cars, Imposed as a war measure, has been removed, and other restrictions enforced by the war are rapidly disappearing. Unfortunately some of the opposi­ tion to the proposed five-year exten­ sion is based on dissatisfaction with service given the public during the war. It is argued that conditions have been bad, although this is not true. It can be stated as a fact, which can­ not be successfully contradicted, that serviQe has been greatly Improved un- Boston, M&S&--"Salute your brother officers even though they be in the bathtub," declared 'Maj.

"The salute," General Ed­ wards said, "is a manifestation of a man's own self-respect. vIt, is an evidence discipline." der federal control, in spite 6f the tremendous demands that the war needs h^ve imposed. Here again it Is forgotten apparently that the railroads were placed under government control for the purpose of wlnntng the war against the German autocracy. The first duty was to move troops and war supplies. I have yet to hear a sound criticism of the manner in which that pressing war need was met. Millions of soldiers were moved safely and ex­ peditiously to the seaboard, and from camp to camp. Foodstuffs, munitions and other supplies were rushed to ships at express-train speed. The American railroads during the past year have functioned for the war pur­ pose. But even in the conduct of ordinary business, the record made by the rail­ roads shines by comparison with the record of private control In previous years when considered from the stand­ point of Important traffic. During the fall of 1918, there was practically no congestion anywhere and we were still at War. Remember the congestion on the railroads in the crop-moving Sea­ sons of 1916 and 1917. Toward the end of 1916 conditions became so bad that the interstate commerce commis­ sion made an Investigation. As a re­ sult, Commissioner McChord filed a re­ port In which he said that "mills have shut down, prices have advanced, per­ ishable articles of great value have been destroyed, and hundreds of catv loads of food products have been de­ layed In reaching their natural mar­ kets.** Also that "long delays In tran­ sit have been the rule rather than the exception, and the operations of established industrial activities , have been uncertain and difficult.** Became Simple Matter. The accommodation of passengers In peace times, and the proper at­ tention to the transportation of ordi­ nary freight, become a comparatively simple matter once the larger ques­ tions have been disposed of. No prac­ tical, just and experienced man can honestly argue that government op­ eration per se has caused bad service. Already needed trains are being re­ stored ; crowded conditions are being remedied; rules made necessary by the war are being done away with. I touch on such questions briefly in order that there may be no beclouding of the issue by the injection of false premises. No dlsaccommodatlon will result to the traveling or shipping pub­ lic by the extension of the perlqA of federal control. The question merely is whether wise and well considered remedial legislation for the return of the yoads to private control can be obtained under existing conditions within twenty-one months, and wheth­ er, even if that were possible, the roads could be operated successful economically and satisfactorily pend­ ing the discussion by the congress and the country, and especially with the 1920 presidential campaign ap­ proaching. ' Neither contingency being possible In my judgment^, I see no escape from the conclusion that the period of fed­ eral control must be extended for five years, so that an adequate test of uni­ fied operation may be secured under peace, not war, conditions, and neces­ sary Improvements to terminals and other facilities be made, free , from partisan political influences, or the railroads must be restored to private control In the near future to take their chances under the old laws'and conditions which governed them prior to the assumption of control by the government.

But there are all classes of lands, good, bad, and Indifferent, much of each. Th^ government of the Dominion of Canada has no land for sale, but with­ in the boundaries of the Dominion there are unlimited acres of choice land owned by railway and l$md com­ panies and private individuals. It holds no brief for any, nor are any of them clients. But it is to the In­ terest of the Dominion to have the hun­ dreds of thousands of acres placed un­ der cultivation, for every acre thus cul­ tivated adds to the revenue which helps pay the government of the country. It Is with the purpose of setting forth the agricultural advantages that Can­ ada, especially Western Canada, pos­ sesses, that attention is drawn to the fact. The purpose is to place before the reader truthful statements, and advise the prospective settler as to the necessity to investigate and In­ spect, leaving to his own deduction the matter of his selection. Once he de­ cides, the government will render him any further Information necessary as to location, prices and value of land, xnd assist him in every way possible to become settled. The cost of a trip to Western Can­ ada, to any portion of the three prov­ inces--Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta--specially Indicated in this work, is but a trifle compared with the benefits that a personal Inspection may give. Therefore the advice is to do so. Low rates on railways will be ar­ ranged and every opportunity afforded for giving the country a thorough and careful examination. It may be that you wish an improved farm, all feady for occupation and cultivation; you may want raw prairie, which only re­ quires plowing and the other prepara­ tion necessary for a seed bed, leaving it to yourself to erect your buildings, sink your well, prepare your garden, and ascertain how close you are to school, church, town and market You may wish to go into mixed farming, combining the raising of stock with the growing of grain. In this case you will look out for some shelter; from sun, wind and storm, and want a farm a portion of which may be cultivated for grain, and pasture fields connected; with it You may make this out of the open level prairie, but you will do bet­ ter to secure a partially wooded lot where water and pasture are already" at hand. You may wish to go Into the raising of cattle, or sheep aione; then you will care less for the open prairie, but select something that may cost you less In the more northerly districts. No matter what you may want, unless It be land upon which to grow cotton, bananas or other tropical or semi-trop­ ical products, your inspection trip will reveal to you that Western Canada pos­ sesses possibilities beyond which any literature you may read advises you.--' Advertisement DRAW.

Milwaukee offers herself as a living proof of the truth of the assertion that as intelligence in the care of young children increases" the death rate in* variably decreases. ' Six years ago this city established a municipal health bureau, and for two years previous to that she has sys­ tematically compiled and kept her in­ fant mortality figures. According to these figures; the mor­ tality of Infants under one year of age was in 1912 25 per cent of all the deaths occurring In the city. In 1917 It was only 20 per cent. This substan­ tial decrease is attributed to the fine child welfare work carried on by the local committee. ' Would Get Even.
