NEW RAIL PLANS

Transportation Facilities.

**The Chevrolet”
Rosman, N. C.
, Wnshlnprton.—One of the big prob-'
Icjnis before tbe new Cpngress is get
ting the riiilroads l>;ick ou a peace
basis. These 1^60,000 miles of steel,
higliways were taken <*ver by th^ tHov-
ernnient us an in(lispensal>le unn of
the national defense; but now that
their war service is over, there is u
country-wide dein:ind that the Gov
ernment restore tl>em to their owners
to be operated on normal American
business standards of etftciency.
But, a8 has been pointed out by
President Wilson as well as by many
men in public life who have given
this subject years of careful study,
It is not enough simply to say to the
railroad companies, “Take these rail
roads and give the country the best
transportation service that money and
brains can provide.”
Old Laws Obstruct Growth.
The President recently said that It
would be a serious mistake to return
to the old conditions of railroad regu
lation without reforming the anti
quated laws that were obstructing the
free development of transportation la-
cilities. The Director (General of Kail-
roads has recently made an Inspection
trip from coast to coast, and he has
been telling the people that the time
has now come to put the railroads on
a sound foundation.
The i)ljjns for a better system of
national control of railroads are as
varied as were the plans for banking
and currency reform when Congress
received a mandate from the peoi>le
to provide insurance against tinancial
paiiP s. The public now demands in
surance against a breakdown of rail
road transportation, and the new Con
gress is undertaking this work as sec*
ondary only to insurance against in
ternational warfare. Congress solved
the banking problem seven years ago
as a non-partisan issue, in which all
the people had a conmion interest, and
Congress evidently is^ tackling the
railroad problem with the same spirit.
While the many plans that have
been proposed differ In the methods
to be adopted In rtniching the <lesired
goal;: it has been pointed out by Sena
tor Cummins of Iowa, that all these
plans have really very much in com
mon—so much so that he is confident
that Congress will have little difliculty
in framing; a bill that will meet witn
popular approval, and that will take
the railroad question out of politics
for many years to come.
Many Plans with One Aim.
The Iowa Senator has a conmiand-
Ing position fn this Congress because he
is the ranking member of the Interstate
Commerce Committee of the United
States Senate, and It is In this com
mittee that the new reilrQud bill will
take final form. In an address before
a national meeting of business men
at St. Louis Senator Cummins stated
that since the close of the war, fully
thirty complete plans for new'railroad
legislation had been submitted to him
by business men, economists, bankers,
railroad officials and owners. Govern
ment officials, railroad workers and
Just plain citizens.
The basic principles upon which all
of these plans, with one exception,
agree are as follows:
1. Private operation is more effl>
cient and more economical than
Government operation, and the
public interest will therefore be
served by a return of the roads to
private management.
2. To make certain that new
capital will be attract«d to the
expansion of railroad facilities,
there ought to be greater certain
ty that a fair return will be earn-
' ed on the investment.
‘ 3. The merging of weak and
strong roads into large competing
systems should be encouraged.
The making of a formula to pro
vide a fair return on railroad capital
I seems likely to be the phase of the
• problem most thoroughly debated In
< Congress. The Director General has
. been urging that the Governmeui
'ought to guarantee a certain return
, and share in any excess earnings
I Leading bankers, especially some o1
. the international bankers in War
; street, who have in the past matketec
I many hundreds of millions of radroac
I securities, also look Tavorably on tht
^ suggestion of a Government guaraii
]• tee, which will make it easier to sel
I new securities, and will also stabillzi
the market for the old bonds anc
stocks.
Government Guarantee Oppcsed.
But the proposal that the Govern
ment shall guarantee the inten st and
dividends ou private capital i’lvested
in railroads will undoubtedly meet
with very vigocous opposition iu man;
quarters. Even railroad executives
who might be supposed to take kindl.x
to the idea^f a Government guarantei
against fail u re, lAive frankly stated
that they do not want it, becau.«« the)
believe it is un-American in principle
! would tend to lessen efflciency, anr
I would Involve the roads In a Gorem
nicnt partnership that would inevlts
^■'!y lead to Goverunieut owneraltip.

UGH! CALOMEL MAKES
YOU DEATHLY SICK
Stop Using Dangerous Drug Be*
fore It Salivates You!
It’s Horrible!
You’re bilious, sluggish, constipated and
believe you need vile, dangerous calomel
to start your liver and clean your bowels.
Here’s my guarantee! Ask your drug
gist for a bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone
and take a spoonful tonight. If it
doesn’t start your liver and straighten you
right up better than calomel and without
griping or making you sick I want you to
go back to the store and get your money.
Take calomel today and tomorrow you
will feel weak and sick and nauseated.
Don’t lose a day’s work. Take a spoonful
of harmless, vegetable Dodson’s Liver
Tone tonight and wake up feeling great.
It’s perfectly harmless, so give it to your
children any time. It can’t salivate, so
let them eat anything afterwards.—Ad
vertisement.
“BAYER CROSS"
ON ASPIRIN
Always, Ask for Genuine
♦*Bayer Tablets of Aspirin'?
I
Only Aspirin Tablets with the safe
y “Bayer Cross” on them are genuine
“Bayer Tablets of Aspirin,” owned
and made by Americans and proved
safe by millions of people. Unknown
quantities of fraudulent Aspirin Tab
lets were sold recently by a Brook
lyn dealer which proved to be com
posed mostly of Talcum powder.
“Bayer Tablets of Aspirin” should
always be asked for. Then look for
the safety “Bayer Cross” on the pack
age and on each tablet. Accept noth
ing else! Proper directions and dos
age in each Bayer package.
Aspirin is the trade mark of Bayer
Manufacture of Monoaceticacidester
of Salicylicacid.
