“And Judah and Israel dwelt safely,
every man under Ills vine and under
his fig tree.”
—I Kings 4:25
From that day of peace and plenty in King Solo
mon’s reign to this very day the most happy and con
tented people have lived under their own vine and
tree^ In other words, they have lived under their
own roof. They have owned their home and have
not been subject to the whimsical notions of any
landlord.
Indeed this is a happy domestic state to live in.
One of more or less independence and one to which
every head of a household should aspire.
You may now be living on the fat of the land but
you owe it to yourself and family to provide a home
for you can’t tell when adversity will overtake you
and throw your wife and children into a cold, cruel
world without a home.

RAILROAD SITUATION
IS NOW LARGELY
UP TO CONGRESS
Must Siiore ResponsibilHy In
Fu.jre OsvelipMt.
ROBERT S. LOVETT’S VIEWS
Brevard Builiiing and Loan Association
A* M. VERDERY, JR^ Secretary and Treasurer
**Unification of Regulation l« Essential.**
A Complete, Harmonious, Consistent
and Rc:c.tcd System Needed—Federal
Incorporation of Railroads by Gener
al Law Favored.
Wnsbinj^on, March 2G.—Responsibil-
1^ for the railway development of the
country, fur providing necessary trans.
portation t'ucilitics to care for the grow
ing business aud populatiou of the
country, now rests largely with con
gress aud uot entirely with the rail
road managers. This was the state
ment of Judge Robert S. Lovett, chair
man of the executive committee of the
Union Pacific system, to the Newlauda
joint cougressloual committee when
that body resumed its inquiry into
the subject of railroad regulation this
week.
In making this statement of the
changed condltiuus of the railroad sit
uation Judge Lovett uudoubtedly had
In mind the decision of the supreme
court on the Adamson Jaw. handed
down last week, which establishes the
light of the federal gove’^iuient to fix
railroad wages and to prevent strikes.
This decision is regarded by railroad
men and lawyers as marking an epoch
In the development of trar “portation
In the United States.
“We have our share of responsibil
ity,” said Judge Lovett, “but it rests
primarily on congress. When the gov
ernment regulates the rates and the
financial administration of the rail
roads, the borrowing of money and the
issuance of securities it relieves the
railroad officers of the responsibility of
providing and developing transporta
tion systems, except within the limits
of the revenue that can be realized from
such rates and under such restrictions.
“For a country such as ours, for a
people situated as we are, to blunder
along with a series of unrelated, incon
sistent, conflicting statutes enacted by
different states without relation to
each other, instead of providing a com
plete and carefully studied and pre
pared system of regulation for a busi
ness that is so vital to the life of the
nation, is worse than folly.”
He summed ui> the present problems
and diUiculties of the railroads as fol
lows:
First.—The multiplicity of regula
tions by the several states with resi)ect
to the issue »>f securities, involving de
lays and contiictiug sUUe 'ies gen
erally danycious and possibly disas
trous.
Second.—The state regulation of
rates in sucli a manner as to unduly
reduce revenues, t> discrimniate in fa
vor of localities aud shippers within
its own borders as against localities
and shippers i;i other states and to dis
turb aud disarrange the structure of
interstate rates.
Third.—The inability of the Inter-
State Conimerce Commission, whoever
the commissioners may be. to perform
the vast duties devolving upon it un
der existing laws, resulting in delay—
Which should never occur in commer
cial matteis—aud conii)elling the com
missioners to accept the conclusions of
their employees as final in deciding
matters of great importance to the
commercial and railroad interests of
the country.
Fourth.—The practical legality that
has been accorded conspiracies to tie
up and suspc'nd the operation of the
railroads of the country by strikes and
Tioleuce aud the absence of any law
to compel the settlement of such dis
putes by arbitration or other judicial
means, as all other issues between citi
zens in civilized states are to be set
tled.
Fifth.—The phenomenal increase in
the taxation of railroads in recent
years.
' Sixth.—The cumulative effect of
these conditions upon the investing
public, to which railroad companies
must look for the capital necessary to
continue dove!oi)ment
“We believe tliat the unification of
regulation is essential.” said Judge
Lovett, “and that with the rapid in
crease of state commissions in recent
years congress will In time be com
pelled to exercise its power in- the
premises. To unify regulation there
should be a complete, harmonious, con
sistent and related system. We be
lieve the best, if not the only practical
plan, is the federal incorporation of
railroad.s by general law. which will
make Incorporation thereunder com
pulsory. thus imposing on all railroad
companies throughout the United
States the same corporate powers and
restrictions with respect to their finan
cial operations and the same duties
and obligations to the public and the
government, so that every investor will
know precisely what every railroad
corporation may and may not lawfully
do.*-
Judge Lovett contended that the so
lution of these problems and difficnl*
ties rested with congress. He told the
committee that under the constitution
the authority of the federal govern
ment Js paramount, that congress has
the power to legislate for a centralized
control of railroads under federal char
ters and that it only remains for that
body to exercise that fmwer. •
