RAILROAD PROBLEM QUESTION OF
STUBBORN FACLNOT OF THEORY
McAdoo Favors a Five-Year Test Period in Which to Prove Which
Is Better, Government Ownership or Private Ownership
Wisely Regulated Under Superior Authority
of Federal Government.
By W. Q. M'ADOO.
Tho railroad problem Is todny one
of the most, if not tho most, Impor
tant nnd vital domestic questions faclnn
the American people. Our welfare
nnd prosperity depend on Its proper
solution. Therefore It Is peculiarly
neces.sary that the facts regarding It
be understood clearly; i:tt It be set
tled not along partisan political Hues
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 mo say Immediately thnt I have
no pet theory to advance In discussing
the fccttlement of tho railroad ques
tion. At the present time I am neither
an advocate nor an opponent of gov
ernment ownership. But while my
tendency Is against government own
ership nnd In favor of a wisely regu
lated private ownership under strong
federal control, I nm frank to say that
I am not afraid of government owiier
ulilp should experience, gained by an
adequate test, prove that It Is the best
solution of the problem. We are liv
ing In a new day In America; the
world Is throwing off old shackles; wo
must do what seems best In view of
ascertained flic's regardless of pre
conceptions. I favor n live-year test
period because I believe Its results will
tell us convincingly which 19 bettor
government ownership or private own
ership wisely nnd adequately regulated
under the superior uuthorlty of tho
federal government.
Calls Attention to Problem.
The recent suggestion I made to tho
congress for such a test under peace
conditions has nt least served to con
centrate attention on the problem.
Many of the nttacks on the plan plain
ly hnvo been dictated by seltlsh In
terests; others just us plainly are duo
to misunderstanding.
The suggestion most generally nd
nnced by the opposition Is that tho
rouds be continued under government
operntlon for tho twenty-one months'
period after tho war, as provided by
the present federal control act, and
thnt during thnt time remedial legis
lation (thcro is an utter lack of agree
ment on the details of such legisla
tion) be eunctcd to return the roads
to their private owners.
There nro two reasons why such n
eourse seems to me Impossible; llrst,
the roads cannot bo operntcd success
fully under the present act for twenty
one months with the prospect of their
return to their owners at the end of
that time approaching nearer every
day; and second, no adequate and fnlr
remcdlnl legislation can ho obtained
within that time in view of the polit
ical situation, and the lack of crystal
lization of the thought of the nation
as to what is the best permanent so
lution. In discussing these two points,
I must be frank, for tho American peo
ple aro entitled to frankness. This is
their problem, nnd they are going to
Bottle It sooner or later whether cer
tain Interests want them to or not.
Tho most serious obstnele to going
on with the present system of federal
control under existing limitations
while the congress tries to work out
remedial legislation is that of morale.
Borne purposely blind people appear
to think this nn Idle argument, put for
ward to bolster up a plan. They do
not know the situation. "No man can
ucrvo two masters."
Face Stubborn Fact.
Tho railroad V clals and employees
of tho United States arc only human.
If thoy see tho end of federal control
rapidly approaching, with their posi
tions and their future tho constant
subject of partisan political contro
versy, nnd with nn entirely different
system of control, which will vitally
affect each Individual employee, about
to go In effect they naturnlly cannot
work with undivided thought nnd at
the highest point of efficiency; they
will be thinking inevitably of the In
terest of tho private owners whoso
employees they will Boon become, nnd
they will pay less and less attention
to the government officials operating
tho roads. Where tho Interests of tho
prlvnte owners and of tho government
clash, as they unavoidably will in
many cases, employees will hesltnto
which Interest to serve. Confusion and
lack of efficiency aro bound to result.
This Is not theory; this Is a stubborn
fact that must bo faced. Already
signs of the difficulty are begiuulng to
appear. With other forms of Industry
this might not bo so serious, but tho
prosperity nnd oven tho lives of mil
lions of Amcrlcnns depend upon tho
discipline and efficiency of tho Ameri
can railroad machine. It would bo ft
dangerous experiment truly to play
with such an organism merely for fear
of a bugaboo or for partisan political
purpose or advantage.
Then, too, wore tho effort made to
Continue tho present control under ex
iting legislation, tho railroads, from
W physical standpoint, might stand still
or even deteriorate durlug the twenty
"one months' period. Without tho co
operation of the railroad corporations,
lit !o difficult under tho present law to
carry forward Improvements or to ob
"tain needed equipment. Alrendy many
of tho rnllroads aro resisting pur
chases of necessary equipment for
their nccount. Many of tho necessary
Improvements, such as Joint terminals,
while of great benellt to the public,
are not relished by soiuo railroad cor
porations for competitive and there
fore selllsh reasons. Such Improve
ments would result In great econo
mies, without which It probably would
bo Impossible to reduce passenger or
freight rates during tho twenty-one
months' period. It Is Impossible to
carry forward an ndVquate program
of Improvements and to demonstrato
those operative economies which will
cheapen transportation In a shorter pe
riod than live years.
Must Keep Out of Politics.
I would prefer not to mention pbll
tics In connection with this problem,
because primarily It Is an economic
question. But wo must not he blind.
Tho American people hnvo been dis
cussing the railroads for generations ;
almost every man In public llfo has
gone on record on some phuso of tho
subject. In l!)l!0 there will he a presi
dential election. It Is Idle to supposo
that under such conditions It will bo
possible during this or tho next con
gress to securo calm and deliberate
consideration of the ultimate solution
of (he problem, much less a fulr and
adequate permanent settlement. This
vital question must not be settled In
the heat or passion of partisan poli
tics; it must be dealt with In the calm
of an lnter-presldentlal election porlod.
Some of the opponents of the sug
gested five-year extension of federal
control appear to do so on the ground
that the operating revenues during the
year 41)18 will be Insufficient to pay
the rentals guaranteed to the owners.
They forget that most of tho wage
Increases granted to employees took
effect January 1, 1918, whereas the
Increased passenger and freight rates
did not go Into effect until six months
later. If lncrensed freight and pas
senger rates had gone Into effect Jnn
uury 1, 1018, at the same time nt the
wage Increases, there would have been
no deficit. They nlso forget that tho
government took over the roads when
they were completely paralyzed and
when the greatest congestion of traffic
In their history was upon them. It
cost tho government millions of dollars
to clear up the congestion und get the
railroads running again efficiently.
They also forget that blizzard followed
blizzard, and that It cost much money
to overcome their effects. Thoy for
get, too, that the price of coal, of steel,
and of other supplies was far nbove
normal during the pnst year. These
added expenses all would have had to
be met had the roads continued under
private control, and to pay for them,
rates would have had to bo lncrensed.
Private operation tho past year would
have failed utterly and tho deficit
would have been greater perhaps than
under government management.
Economies Can Be Effected.
Under pence conditions, and with a
period of llvo years of federal control
assured, It should be possible to main
tain existing wages nnd working condi
tions und to effect such economies,
that reductions In rates, both passen
ger und freight, ought to follow with
in n reasonable time. Unquestionably
economies- can be effected under unl
lled control that cannot bo practiced
under diversified control. AJready the
extra chargo of one-hnlf cent u rallo
for riding In sleeping cars, Imposed us
a war measure, has been removed, und
other restrictions enforced by tho wur
aro rapidly disappearing.
Unfortunately somo of tho opposi
tion to the proposed flve-yonr exten
sion is based on dissatisfaction with
servlco given the public during tho
war. It Is argued that conditions hnvo
been bad, although this Is not truo.
It can be stated as a fact, which can
not bo successfully contradicted, that
service has been greatly Improved un
der federal control, In spite of tho
tremendous demands that the war
needs havo Imposed. Here again It Is
forgotten apparently that tho railroads
were placed under government control
for tho purpose of winning the war
against tho Germnn autocracy. The
first duty was to movo troops nnd war
supplies. I hnvo yet to hear a sound
criticism of the manner In which that
pressing war need was met. Millions
of soldiers were moved safely and ex
peditiously to tho senboard, nnd from
camp to camp. Foodstuffs, munitions
nnd other supplies were rushed to
ships at express-train speed. The
American rnllrouds during tho past
year havo functioned for tho war pur
pose. Civilian travel and ordlnnry
business, while of necessity given sec
ondary consideration, havo been cared
for extraordinarily well In the diffi
cult clrcumstunces.
But oven In tho conduct of ordinary
business, tho record made by tho rail
roqds shines by comparison with the
record of private control In previous
yenrs when conslderod from the Htnnd
point of Importnnt traffic. During the
fall of 1018, there was practically no
congestion nnywhere and wo were still
nt war. Itcmembcr the congestion on
tho railroads In the crop-moving sen
sons of 1010 nnd 1017. Toward the
end of 1010 conditions became so bad
that tho interstate commerce commis
sion mado nn Investigation. An n ro-'
suit, Commissioner McChord filed n re
port In which ho said that "mills havo
shut down, prices have advanced, per
ishable articles of great value havo
been destroyed, nnd hundreds of cur
loads of food products have been h
Inyed In reaching their natural mar
kets." Also that "long delays In tran
sit have been tho rulo rather than
the option, nnd the operations of
estnl I i Mi ml Industrial activities have
been uncertain nnd difficult."
Became Simple Matter.
The accommodation of passengers
In pejiro times, nnd the proper at
tention to tho transportation of ordl
nnry freight, become u comparatively
slmplo nintter once the larger ques
tions have been disposed of. No prac
tical, Just and experienced man can
honeMly nrgue that government op
eration per so has cnused bad service.
Already needed trains are being re
stored; crowded conditions are bring
remedied; rules made necessary by
the wnr are being done away with.
I touch on such questions briefly In
order thnt there may bo no beclouding
of the Issue by the Injection of false
premises. No dlsaccominodatlon will
result to the traveling or shipping pub
lic by the extension of the period of
federal control. Tho question merely
Is whether wise nnd well conslderod
renipillnl legislation for the return of
tho roads to private control can bo
obtained under existing conditions
within twenty-one months, nnd wheth
er, even If thnt were possible, tho
roads could be operated successfully,
economically and satisfactorily pend
ing the discussion by the congress
nnd the country, and especially with
tho 10'JO presidential campaign ap
proaching. Neither contingency being possible
In my Judgment, I see no escape from
the conclusion that tho period of fed
eral control must be extended for flvo
years, so that an adequate test or uni
fied operntlon may be secured under
peace, not war, conditions, and neces
sary Improvements to termlnuls ami
other facilities bo made, free from
partisan political inlluencos, or the
rnilroads must be restored to prlvato
control In tho near future to tnke
their chances under the old Inws and
conditions which governed them prior
to the assumption of control by the
government.
