, HERRICK PLAN
* FOR CONTROL
OF RAILROADS
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 3 (by
Associated Press)—Myron T. Herrick
of this city, member of the executive
committee of the National Associa
tion of Owners of Railroad Securi
ties, declared in a statement just is
issued that “turning over of the vast
system of railroad lines to the con
trol of the government, and through
the government to the control of or
ganized labor, would be a long step to
ward the establishment in this coun
try of an autocratic pow-er that would
imperil the liberties of the American
people.”
Mr. Herrick, who was formerly
governor of Ohio and American am
bassador to France, is a banker, di
rector of the Erie railroad and of the
New York Life Insurance Company.
Mr. Herrick asserted in his state
' ment that “the experience of the last
two years with the railroads, as with
the telegraph and telephone lines, is
ample proof that there is neither effi
ciency nor economy in government
control.” He said that such control
and operation w'ould defeat the pur
pose for which the railroad brother
hoods were establshed and that it
would involve a huge addition to the
public debt, as the value of the rail
roads wras estimated at $17,000,000,000.
Would Burden People
Referring to the agitation by rail
road employes through the officers of
their organizations in favor of gov
ernment ownershp of the roads, Mr.
Herrick said:
“This propaganda will not be favor
ably received by the people of the
country, who, as always, must pay the
bills. The deficit incurred in less
than two years of federal operation
is already more than $500,000,000 and
is mounting at the rate of $2,000,000
a day in spite of sharp increases in
freight and passenger rates. Directly
or indirectly, in taxes, freight charges
and increase in the cost of goods the
burden of that deficit falls on the
people and contributes in tremendous
measure to the oppressively high cost
of living. In the face of that showing
who could conscientiously wish to
perpetuate governmental control of
the railroads?
“I cannot believe the brotherhoods
have thoroughly considered the con
sequences that would follow govern
ment ownership or that they have
prepared to exercise this great power.
Their present propaganda is wholly
at variance with the character of
their organizations and with their
long and honorable history.”
Would Create Enormous Debt
To add the cost of the railroads to
the government’s debt, Mr. Herrick
said, “would weaken the government
borrowing power, depreciate further
government securities and increase
the rate at which the government can
borrow. He pointed out that the war
had added $20,000,000,000 to the pub
lic debt in two years and that the an
nual interest charge alone is now al
most equal to the whole annual ex
pense of the national government be
fore the war. “To buy the railroads
and double the national debt would
be exceedingly unwise,” said Mr. Her
rick. “It would simply multiply the
principal and interest, which the peo
ple must pay.
“Uncertainty in business will not
cease until the railroad problem is
solved,” asserted Mr. Herrick. “Every
delay means tremendous loss to the
country. All the billions of wealth
owned by the people of the United
States are to go forward or back
ward. dependent upon the legislation
■which is just ahead. A mistake will
threaten the whole financial struc
ture.”
Operation Under Guarantee
Mr. Herrck said that he believed
the best plan yet presented for solv
ing the railroad question was that
presented to congress by the National
Association of Owners of Railroad
Secui’ities. This plan, he said, pro
vides for a fixed percentage return to
the roads and that where a road
makes a profit in excess of 6 per cent
the excess shall be divded between
the government, the employes and the
ralroad. In his opinion this plan pro
tected all interests—the public, the
shippers, employes, and owners.
» “The time for experiments has
passed,” said Mr. Herrick. “The
government has followed fads and
fancies far enough. Now let us for
get partisan politics and devise a
practical plan for the business-lke
management of our great vehicles of
commerce, giving men of experience
and vision a chance to exercise their
abilities. Radical experimentation is
unthinkable.”
