_ The railroad problem is today one
of the most If not the mokt, impor-
^nt and vital domestic questions facing
the American people. Our welfare
and prosperity depend on Its proper
solution. Therefore ^lt is peculiarly
necessary that the facts regarding it
be understood clearly; that it be set
tled not along parUsan 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 say Immediately that I have
no pet theory to advance in discussing
the settlement of the railroad ques-
| while of great benefit to the public,
/are not relished by Sdme railroad cor-
porations for competitive and there 1 -
fore selfish reasons. Such improve-
menUT 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 In a shorter
rlod than five years.

vital question must not be settled in
the heat or passion of partisan poli

Some of the opponents of the sug

that the operating revenues during the
year 1918 will be insufficient to pay
the rentals guaranteed to the owners.
