American! Travellers Want Private Ownership I There is o service his thatnsslecl

Sidney.
I•
The karradie Club of New York, with a membership of eleven hundred, of
which the m{tlority consists of users of the transportation systems of the
country, l:ns adopted the following resolution:
That Government ownershl_, management or operation of railroads le
not conducive to economic efficiency, and that private initiative, enterprise'
and rospo.hsibility in the creation extension, improvement and operation of
the American railroads should as a matter of national policy be fostered
and preserved..,
That the extension of the present system of Federal control for a period,
.of five yerre, or any extersiou beyond the limitation now prescribed by law
of one year and nine months after the proclamation of peace, is earnestly
opposed as tn•eiu•'.leiat to the public interest.
That the recognized impracticability of continuing the Government oper-
ation of the railroads for twenty-oae mouths after peace under the present'
la -.v is a conclusive reason why the properties should be relinquished, and,
that In vtew of the terartn' tion of hostilities. it should be the policy of the
Railroad Administration to restore the integrity of individual properties
and prepare for their return to the respective owners.
That Nle s.rincinle o: reasonable. responsible and adequate Govern-
rental
-
rvnlal regulation of transportation fa.cilitfes is recognized and accepted,.
but that such regulation should provide for the encouragement, protection
and development of the railroads.
That the Con Kress should promptly enact sucb revised legislation as will
provide a uniform system of regulation in essential matters, safeguard the
public Interest, ensure adequete revenue to provide for equitable treatment
'or all questions affecting wages and working conditions of employes and
attract stencleot eanftai to maintain and develop transportation facilities
which shall meet the necessities of the commercial manufacturing and
ese.icnitural interests cf the country,
That enersetir e9'ort:s should he exerted to nemmpllsh the early return
of the transportation systetrs of the ro' ntry to the control and management;

Englishman and an American

skunk sneaked into the Camp
and entered 8 eine!! building.
The American bet the Epgiish-
man $t that he could not remain
in the building ten minutes with
the skunk. • The bet was taken *
