Give Them That Says Judge
- Lovett and Capital Will
'Take Business Risk
New York, July li Suggestions to
members of Congress for a sound so
lution of tha railroad problem by Bob
ert 8. Lovett, president of tha Caion
Pacific Railroad System, formerly head
of the Division of Capital Expenditures
of the United States. Bail road Adminis
tration, made publie here today, in
cluded as a fundamental principle the
necessity of legislation that will give
railroad capital "a business chance."
"If Congress will Janet the necessary
laws giving railroad capital a business
chance," declared Judge Lovett, "I be
lieve that capital will take a business
risk and the money required to provide
the requisite railroad facilities for the
future will be forthcoming."
The head of the Union Pacific de
clared that, in his opinion, tht country
is confronted with four contingencies:
Inadequate and poor aervice, govern
ment ownership, a Federal guaranty of
a reasonable return upon railroad cap
ital or reasonable rate-fixing by
a government agency, the latter pro
viding "consideration of the needs of
the traffic and the carrier, with the
rights of each carrier to keep whatever
profit it can make out of rates so es
tablished, by good management, good
service, economy, wise investment and
auecess ia competing for business."
Regarding rate-making, Judge lovett
maintained that the regulation provided
by Congress "should require that the
rates be sufficient to enable the ear
riers to provide the requisite service
snd facilities, protect existing invest
ments and provide the new capital
necessary ia the publie interest," as
advocated by the Committee of Bail
road Executives and submitted to the
Senate Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce
Judge Lovett, likewise, favors five
other features of the railroad commit
tee's report as being remedial and
"wise as a national railroad policy,"
namely: compulsory Federal incorpora
tion, exclusive Federal regulation of
securities and rates, the creation of a
Department of Transportation in tho
President'a cabinet, the head of which
would have power "to act quickly and
deal with emerge nciee," and modifica
tion of restrictions upon railroad con
solidations and provision for the merg
ing of lines when in the public in
tcrejt. "Our railroad transportation sys
tem,'' observes Judge Lovett, ''which is
essentially national, should be rescued
from the irresponsible and conflicting
State agencies, and brought under uni
form control and regulation in the
national interest, except as to strictly
local matters.
"Without Government ownership or
operation, tho only reliance for rail
road revenue to support railroad credit
must be upon the adoption by Congress
of a sound railroad policy involving
absolute justice to railroad capital and
j requiring specifically and plainly that
' the rates to be fixed shall be sufficient
to enable the carriers to provide safe

and children in Warren, Bertie, Hert

number of "shots" administered during
th three weeks' campaign is not as
high as ihe department expected, and
one of the reasons is the large ne.gr o
population in aeveral of the counties
The colored people, according to the
staff workers of the hoard, are not as
quick to take advantage of the free
vaccination as the whites.

Tokio, June 5.-(By Mail.) Defend
ing his policy towards China during
his premiership, Marquis Okuma has
made a statement that it was never his
intention to try to make a protectorate
of Chins.
Be deelsred that the movement of
Yuan Shi-Eai to make himself emperor
of China owed much to the instigation
of Germany and if Vnan's ambition had
been attained and he had. been pro
claimed emperor it waa more thiyi prob
able that China would hare been

Referring to the famous twenty-one

wrong to attack the Chinese policy of

and of the. 'diplomatic, history that
obliged tha conclusion of the treaties
