To realize in practice a union of the people and the railroad under the super vision of the national government is th essence of the proposal made In an ar ticle for the July World' Work by tho railroad magnate. It. F. Yoakum, chair man of tha Rock Hand bonrd of direc tors. Taking up the different points of popular ngitation, Mr. Yoakum finds, first, that tho Hepburn nnti-rebate act i effective, just and wise, and he believe that all good railroad manager will co operate to enforce it. The valuation of railroad property, he thinks, would not lx disadvantageous to the railroads, but that It would not have any practical value in arriving at a fair basis of ratemaking. As a railroad man he would not oppose it, and he does not see how the right of tho government ta make such a valuation can bo challenged, lie approves of the limitation at future security issues uaricr the eye of the federal government. lie explains that the law should make it im possible to gain tlie proGts of railroad construction more than onue, and that In creasing capital for Improvements should bp upcrvicd. He believes, further, in tho uniformity of nocounts so as to make the annual report of the railroads' a basis for public confidence, and he sees no need of having any mystery about the railroad business any more than there is about the account of a national bank. While he does not approve of legalizing railroad pool, he think that traffic a sociation should be allowed, because all connecting lines may participate. In con elusion, he urges that the current of ex isting agitation must be turned Into safer channel or great harm will be done to all interests.
