STATE LOSES IF U.S.TAKES ROADS Chairman Aincy Says It Will Cost Commonwealth Ten Million Dollars Yearly "Ten million dollars annually will be the direct loss to the Statd of Pennsylvania under Government ownership of the railroads," said Chairman Ainey of The Public Ser vice Commission of Pennsylvania, speaking last night at Greensburg in the interest of the Red Crossi He stated that a similar loss was al most sure to follow if railroads arc to be federally incorporated. For the years 1915-16 the railroads paid into the State Treasury nearly nine million dollars, and that amount has been increased until it now reaches the enormous sum of about ten mil lions. The loss of such an amount would seriously affect the revenues of the state and could only be met by imposing a larger burden of taxa tion upon the available sources, to wit: the agricultural, utility and manufacturing interests of the Com monwealth. "Peace will present its problems scarcely less important than the problems of war," said Chairman Ainey, "and as we were unprepared for war let us not ignore and there lore be unprepared to meet the new economic conditions which war brought about and which are bound to follow it." "The world will travel in a new orbit, and the man who thinks that civilization will automatically read just itself to former conditions is blind to the conditions which will grasp the world, this nation, and our state. A readjustment of our polit ical, social and economic concep tions must be made. If we postpone a consideration of these until they are thrust upon us, a chaos of re sponsibility will be ours." "In order to carry on the war the Federal Government has been obliged to take over the operation nf the railroads. Their operation extent, necessarily strike down cor porate barriers with consequent in termingling of property and money. ' "To unscramble the egg after the war, and to restore the status of the several railroad elements, will present difficulties in proportion to the length of time they are Gov ernmentally operated, making it easy to revive the plan of Government ownership as a quick remedy, the consequences of which would be so serious to Pennsylvania as to call upon every citizen of the state to think and hesitate: it would mean a loss in the taxable power of the state government, and deprive the State Treasury and therefore the citizens of an annual income of ten million dollars, and if the project is broadened to include telephone and telegraph companies, the loss would be greatly augmented. "Even the plan of federal incor poration of railroads, now being con sidered by the Newlands Committee of Congress, would make it optional lor the Federal Government to tax ihese railroads to the exclusion of the state's right so as to do. The power of the Federal Government thus to act and thus to exclude lias been decided in several instances by the Supreme Court of the United States in cases involving western railroads which were incorporated by acts of Congress. "The railroad problem is not limited to the possible loss of state revenue. The whole transportation question vitally affects every person and every industry. In the econom ic readjustment the highest type of efficiency, the elimination of waste, j the bringing of consumer and pro ducer into closer relation must be of first moment and therefore, the greater utilization of water trans portation, and the highways of our nation for carriage of freight to market is worthy of our serious thought. If we can cut in half the cost of distribution it would go far toward paving our war incurred debt. What has Ueen said concern ing the transportation question may with equal emphasis be said con cerning water power. Pennsylvania is unusually endowed with such re sources. Here is an opportunity to save in fuel and with consequent benefits to the public which at best are likely to be seriously burdened by our national obligations for a gen eration to come incurred in the prosecution of the war. "In the face of mighty problems affecting the welfare of every citi zen in state and nation, Pennsyl vanians must be awake to their re sponsibility, remembering the secur ity there lies in eternal vigilance."

If it will serve as a corrective to 1 the "rotten" discipline prevailing in ( [so many homes, military training I must commend ltsulf to all who rec ognize the handicap with which many undisciplined boys and girls start out In life. The present en forced training of millions of men, the fathers of the future, will also havo served an added purpose. The flagrant lack of discipline I among the youths of to-day. who, one sometimes feels, scarcely know the meaning of the word "obey," necessarily leads to grayer forms of insubordination in other a flairs, and the next step, disregard for law, is danfcerously easy. All teachers know that school children i?ive the ! measure of obedience to school au- i thoritlds that they are trained in at | home. And It has long been notor ious that this measure is often dan gerously little. Unfortunately, the military train- | ing our boys arc getting will not materially affect existing conditions lin the home.
