general counsel for thle organ ized tail
way empi~oyees of Ameriea. it calls
for the puiblic ownlership of tile roads
andi pr'oposes that they be bought by3
issuing governmenlt bond(1 with which
to pay for tihe legitimate private in
terests in the railroad industry. The
value of tihe roadis would he decided
by the courts, and a puirchlasing boarti,
composedI of tile intetrstate commer~t'ce
commtission and( three dilrectors of the
new government corporation, one di
rector from ch groupi, namely, the
governmelt a otlicials and tile op)
orators, wo d supervise the purchase
of the roads.
The roads would he Werated by a
board of fifteen directors, five named
by the president, to represent tihe pub
lie, five elected by thl operating' offI
cils, and five elected by the classified
emiployees. After operating expenses
are paid and fixed charges met, in
cluing the interest on outstanding
government securities, the surplus is
equally divided between the govern
ment and the men; the employees'
portion Is divided between the man
agerial and classliled employees, the
former, or managerial employees, re
celving twice as much as the latter.
The operating officials receive a larg-I
er share because it serves as a great
er stimulus to the group with the most
responsibility.
It is claimed that this system would
prevent unreasonably high wages be
cause the operating ofilcials would lose
dividlends if wages were increased and
thus collusion between labor's dilrec
tors and th operating di retors to
outvote the public's directors in the
matter of raising the emiployees' wag
,,; to an extortionate level is impossi
ble.
The plan further provides that wh en
the share of the government. is live
per cent or more of the gross operat
ing revenue, rates shall beI redhuced IL
cordingly to absorb the amount the
government receives. The governmnent
is to retire the outstandiig bonds vitlh
its share of the surplms, tlus reducing
tihe fixed charges and to invest. in ini
provements and extenisigns, without
adding to the lixed charges. The 1pub
lie Can obtain mioney for the roads at
-1 per vent, in place of tle i 1-2 per
cent rate the public now has to) pay
in patronizing the roads. This sav
ing, together with the economy ieal
Ized by elimination of watered stock,
tle Operafton of tile roads as a unified
system, etc., makes passenger rates of
I 1-2 cents a mile and a reduction of
freight rates by -10 l)er cent appear
reasonabmle, say the backers of the
plan.. -
Other features of the P11lm) plan
are the determining of wv'ages by the
board of directors; the settling of (lis
putes by the directors if a board or
teni, five chosen by the operating of
ficials and live by the elassified em
vloyees fails to do it; tihe power of tile
interstate comnirmer coimimiittee to lix
rates, and the power of congress to
revoke the aherter if tile opleratlion by
the directors results in a defleit.
heher file proposed plan would
be a 'benefit to the country or not is
open to dispute, but it is conceded that
it will be the foundation of many a
bitter battle in national politics for
many a year to come lilless favorable
action is now taken on the bill, which
seems imirobable.

Catarrh attacks the mucous linings, in any organ,

catarrh is the most coinmon form and ailliets many
people.
Unchecked catarrh soon break-s don the lissue and
destroys the organs or part. Evidence of the rav
