Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - April 28, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news Cool these Days by George e. Sokolsky the Railroad problem the presidents proposal to Aid the railroads by a $700,000,000 loan with certain other alleviation of their difficulties is. Of course a makeshift emergency solution to j a pressing problem. Tile railroads have been kept in such a non com i pet hive bondage by the interstate Commerce commission that they Are today so far As passenger services Are concerned outpaced in Competition with air planes busses private automobiles Etc. Because wage and prices on the railroads ans absolutely controlled As Are All the terms of employment and the methods of operations no Railroad in the United states has been Able to operate on a business basis certainly since world War i when the government took Over the railroads. In a word the rail roads have not been free to meet Progress and they show it. True they in pc substituted the diesel for the locomotive but that has not solved any great fundamental problem. Vol. My. No. Too it. Pleasant. Iowa monday Evem no. A pm a. 19m my Carrier 30# per week in mall $7.50 per year the air sir views usually enjoy terminal facilities which Are paid for out of Public funds. On the 0 Iler hand the railroads have to maintain All their facilities at then own expense it is True that Many railroads received enormous concessions when they were started but that was Long ago and does not affect the present situation at All a Railroad has to maintain a costly right of Way a More costly Road bed the a 11-lines Fly in the free heavens and the protective services beams Etc Are maintained by the government of the United states out of taxes. Busses and trucks use Public roads paid for by the taxpayer and maintained and kept in repair by the taxpayer. These advantages have grown up As new Means of transportation developed and no important Steps have been taken to permit the railroads to keep themselves in a competitive position. In fact the interstate Commerce commission which was established to keep the railroads competitive has actually served to make them non compote 1 pc and bureaucratic. A new idea usually finds desert soil in this Enterprise because so Many authorities have to be consulted and it takes them so Long to reach a decision a 0 a the railroads Are still valuable in War time they Are absolutely essential for the mass movements of men and materials and could not be abandoned on the Assumption that the alternate Means of communications will serve. Airlines and busses must in any emergency remain auxiliary services. In War Only the Railroad can serve to move the heavy equipment required by the new Type unconventional weapons. Therefore what is most needed b an Over All study of the entire transportation system of the nation by some capable body such As Herbert Hoover developed in his various task forces. The object would be to Analyse the position As it is today to equate values to produce More equity among the different Means of transportation to make Public inequities in taxation and offer some solution concerning them to disclose hidden As Well As Public subsidies for All transportation services and. On the whole to make sure that our Means of moving human beings and goods Are not antiquated and obsolescent and bound by red tape and senility. On a relent train trip from new yol k to Maimi Brach and Back our train consisted of cars of varying vintages so that passengers paying the same fare enjoyed unequal facilities this is absurd in any business. I Rode in a Rock Island Pullman which the Florida East coast railway had not bothered to Point Over to look like its own equipment. Returning to new York a came in More than two hours late although the weather was excellent there had been no Accident on the Road and no reason other than very bad Railroad practices and poor servicing of the diesels Between trips. Also so Many trains Are taken off or combined with other trains that the diesels poll too heavy a Load.
