Private Ownership Versus Public Rail Control Debate
The piece argues that advocates for private railroad control face a paradox as the government indirectly covers deficits under private management. It notes the U S ran the railroads for twenty six months during an abnormal era, then shifts to a remark that a woman may improve financially after a failed marriage.

Railroads seek $1.5 billion annual revenue rise after federal control
The text notes a $900 million yearly rent for roads and cites Sen. Cummins calling it immoral. It explains that six months after federal control rates rose, and estimates a $236 million deficit over 26 months if controls began earlier. The Interstate Commerce Commission now allows increases to reach $1.5 billion annually, with $600 million for wage raises and $900 million to railroad owners.
