Details nt the proposals made have been withheld It Is now possible to present the more Important point") which have been In corporated In a proposed agreement which. It Is slated on high authtrlty, will be the basis nf the final decisions reached. In It the railroad officials Tiave In sisted that every safeguard shall be thrown about their properties In an ticipation of their return to private ownership Thev hnve also held that emphasis should he laid on the fact that congressional action Indicated that the roads would not be held indefinitely under Oovernment control. The proposed agreement provides that the railroads shall receive rentals, as provided by congressional action, In monthly Installments It also goes Into detail concerning the liability of Oov ernment and private corporations for betterment and equipment War excess profits taxes are to he paid by the railroads out of their own funds, and not by the Oovernment from the current.' revenues received by the Federal operation of the roads. Other taxes, however, are to he borne by the Overnoment and made chargeable against current revenue. The Oovernment Is called upon to re turn the railroads to private ownership unimpaired, and the railroads are pro vided with a means of claiming exemp tion from payment for new equipment, such as motive power and extensions, which are chargeable now against capi tal account, If they wish latcf, to claim that such equipment Is not necessary to normal traffic after the war. Trovlslon Is made for a court of arbi tration If the railroads or the Oovern ment arc unable to agree upon the con struction of the articles of agreement. After reviewing the legislation under which the railroads were taken over by the Oovernment the proposed agreement contains the statement that Congress, on the face of the act providing for Oov ernment control, declared It to be "emer gency legislation enacted to meet con ditions growing out of the war, and that nothing therein was to be construed as expressing or prejudicing the future pol icy of the Federal Oovernment concern ing the ownership, control, or rMrulttttt 01 camera or tn meinoa or pans 01 umh capltalltatlon thereof," Prepertle To lie Taken ;f The agreement sets forth that th.! properties of the carrier to be taken byj the Oovernment and the appurtenance ('jj thereof to be used upon or operated part of Its a stem of transportation shall embrace "all the properties of th: said carrier, the operating revenues and' expenses of which were used or which, If then In existence, would have been used under Section 1 of the said act of March 21, 1918, In computing the amount ' j of Its average annual railway operating Income hereunder, but none of Its prop erties not so used In Its carrier opera-, I tions, or me operating results of which were not or would not have been em braced In such Income.
