REPORT MADE
ON FUTURE OF
RAILROAD!
In dealing with the question of whs
may be done with the railroads in th
future the interstate commerce con
I mission in its annual report to tf
congress says:
“Tin* conditions, without precede!
or parallel, which the war has pr
i duced, now press upon the eongre:
matters of the gravest national and i:
ternational concern.
"While we do not deem the preset
conditions and moment opportune i
which to recommend concrete propo
ais for legislation, we may indical
certain lines of inquiry which must t
pursued In order to reach sound coi
elusions.
"Whatever line of policy is dote
mined upon, the fundamental aim (
purpose should ho to secure Iran
portation systems that will be ad
quate for the nation's needs even i
; time of national stross or peril, an
that will furnish to the public saf
adequate and efficient transportatie
at the lowest cost consistent with thi
service To this end there should t
provision for ll) the prompt mergf
without friction of ail the carrier
lines, facilities and organizations ini
a continental and unified system i
time of stress or emergency; (J
merger within proper limits of (h
carriers' lines and facilities in sue
part and to such extent as may h
necessary In the general public inte
esl to meet the reasonable demand
of our domestic and foreign eon
meree; (.I) limitation of railway cot
struetion to the necessities and eoi
venience of the government and f
the public, and assuring constructio
to the point of these limitations; an
(4) development and eneouragemer
of inland waterways and coordin
tion of rail and water transportatio
systems.
"Among the plans which will doub
less be proposed are the follow'.,
(li Continuance of the present pla
I of federal control; (2) public owne
ship of carrier property with prival
operation under regulation; (3) pr
veto operation under regulation wit
governmental guarantees; t 4 ) resum
tion of private control and mating
tnent under regulation: and mil
lie ownership and operation. Add
tlonal plans and modifications or cor
hinations of those enumerated migl
he listed.
"If the policy of private ownersh!
and operation under regulation is coi
tinned, the following subjects will r
ipiirc legislative consideration: (1
Revision of limitations upon united t
co-operative activities among cot
mon carriers by rail or by water; C
emancipation of railway operatic
from financial dictation: (3) regul
tion of issues of securities; (4l esta
lishment of a relationship betwee
federal and state authority which wi
eliminate tile twilight one of jurisdic- *
tlon and under which a harmonious
rate structure and adequate service
can he secured, state and Interstate;
(5) restrictions governing the treat
] mem of competitive as compared with
non-competitive traflic; (6) the most
I j efficient utlliutlon of equipment and
. provision for distributing the burden
I or furnishing equipment on an equi
table basis among the respective car
riers; (7) a more liberal use of ter
t I minal facilities in the interest of free
e movement of commerce; and (Si limi
i- tations within which common carrier
e facilities and service may be furnished
by shippers or receivers of freight,
it "Should the policy of public owner
)- ship and operation be adopted, there
s must be considered: (1) The just
i- and fair price at which, and the terms
under which carrier properties are to
t be acquired; (2) prohibiting the oper
n | atfon of railways as a fiscal eontrlv
t- ance, insuring their administration in
e the interests of the convenience and
e commerce of the people, requiring
i- that they shall be self-supporting, and
that their rates shall be properly re
r- luted to the ascertained cost of serv
r ice, and retaining and extending the
3- economies and advantages of large
-■ “vale production in transportation;
n (3) responsibility and relationship of
d the railway administration to congress
\ and other federal authorities and to
n ; the states; UI guarding against the
t j intrusion of party politics into rail
e way management; (5) a status for
r railway officers and employes under
i which the railway service will attract
o and retain the best talent; and (ill -
a maintenance of a tribunal for the tie
) termination of controversies which
e will inevitably arise even under pub
ti lie operation.

•- monition of some important points I i
S j be considered We will at an appro

I j trulia will solve its industrial prob
I lems by the adoption of a new social
I code, that every worthy citizen is en- :j:
titled to a minimum standard of com jjj
port bearing some relation to the to- jjj
. tal wealth production of the commu
nity. hut above thnt minimum full j:
( play will be given to Individual enter- :j:
prise, initiative a.id intelligence.”
This is the conclusion of the Hon. j
^ flecge Heeby. member of the Austra
lian coalition government, and writer £
( and lecturer on economic problems. ■;
who recently began here a four
months' Inquiry into plans for recon
struction In the United States.
\ustralla. he said, has no fear of
revolutionary disorders. The danger- j;
ous element is a small minority, al- :
though very active. The problem of j:
II maintaining comfortable standards of j:
_ living without paternalism is being >j
met. he said, with a great educational .jj
j movement to seeking to create mu- :■
ij;1 tual lines of respect by which enter- :j
j:j prise may be conducted. •:
Mr Heeby noted that the railroads jj:
j: and other great utilities have since ij
j; the beginning been government- j:
; owned in Australia, but predicted that
jij! the extension of government opera- j:
ijij tion to ordinary industry as the result
jij j of the w ar would not remain permit
iji nent. i
"The only suite in \ustralia which -
j:j j is at present under a labor govern- -
:j: I tnent recently attempted to reduce
;j: the cost of meat to consumers by
x I starting government ranches and
:j: butcher shops," lie said. "For some
j:j time the supposed benefits of this
ij: 1 scheme were lauded as a triumph o'
jj: Stale socialism, but when the propo
sition was analyzed after two years
:j: operation it was perfectly clear that
jij i the reduction in price was negligible
j:j and that the enterprise was run on
:j: unsound business lines which might,
jij particularly during a dry spell, in
ij: volve the whole state in a heavy loss,
jij | "The idea of state control of food
•j: j supplies is rapidly giving way to agi
ij:' tation of voluntary co-operation among
I primary producers. The producer now
ij: seeks to eliminate intermediate prof
:j: its and is trying to get nearer the
consumer, looking to co-operation as
i-i against state assistance as his media.”
ij: The same applies to manufactur
>:• lug industry, Mr. Heeby said:
"Efforts are being made,” he con
•ij’tlnued. "to provide definite and per
>:• manent lines of communication be
ij: tween the employer and the workman,
jij Schemes for the creation of Indus
:j: trial councils, shop committees and
jij; boards of conciliation, mutual pro
■jij posals for better shop conditions and
jij: creating « healthier social life are
jjij receiving unusual prominence,
i-j: "Out of it all I believe Australia
j:j: will develop on lines of individual ef
jji- fort rather than that of state social
jij’ ism, but this will be achieved by dell
nite co-operation between employers
and their workmen.
