Mr. itryan ex plained that he had long rega rdvd gov erninenl ownership an inevitable. hut only because of railroad opposition to effective regulation. Against Government Ownership. "Personally i cannot say that I de sire government ownership." he ex-* plained, "because 1 lean to t tie hull vidual idea rather than to the collec tive idea; that Is. 1 believe that gov ernment ownership Is desirable otdy where competition is imjMisslble." Alfred P. Thorn, counsel to the Itall way Executives' Advisory Committee, previously had presented before the* members of the Newlands Committee as one of his reasons for urging n> bet ter balanced and more systematic rep? ulatlon ?f railroads the argument that this is the only alternative to govern ment ownership. Calling attention to the restrictions imposed upon the transportation Itnes by conflicting state laws and regulations, to the practical cessation of new const ruction and to the Impossibility under existing conditions of securing the new capital needed for extensions and betterments railway facilities, he warned the Congressmen that unless they provided a fair and reasonable system of regulation that would enable the railroads to meet the growing needs of the country's busi ness the national government would be compelled to take over the owner ship of tiie Ibies with all the evils at tendant upon such a system. Preservation of Competition. Mr. Bryan, on the orhor hand, holds that the further extension of federal authority over the railroads would be a step In the direction of government ownership. He advanced the view that the centralization of control In the hands of tne national government would Impose too great a burden upon the regulating l>ody. would offer strong temptation to railroads to interfere In politics and would encourage the gen eral movement toward centralization of power in the federal government at the expense of the states. He said that he did not object to consolidations of railroad lines so long as they did nor destroy competition, that be knew of no complaint against great railway systems because of their size and that be believed that the preservation of competition was the test to be applied to all consolidations. Regulation of Securities. Mr. Bryan declared himself In favor of national regulation of railway stock and bond issues but added that be saw no reason why that should exclude the states from acting on the same sub Ject as to state corporations. "I would like to see the stock of a railroad, as long as it is In private hands, made as substantial and as unvarying as the value of a government bond." be as serted. He suggested that railroad capitali zation be readjusted to equalize It with actual valuation of the property rep resented. making due allowance for equities, and that when this. was done the roads should be allowed to. earn sufficient Income to keep their stock' at par and to create a surplus. The latter, he tentatively, proposed, mtgbt be allowed to amountto 2r> percent of the capital. Railway Earnings Low. This subje- 1 dfcrallroad capitalization and the amount of railroad carnlnV* received farther attention from tbe committee daring Its recent sessions. In answer to questions by Renator Cummins. Mr. Thom submitted figures showing tbe net earnings of the roads In recent years. These figures show that dterflftff the five years from 1905 to 1010 the average n?i earnings were 5.25 per cent of the net capitalization, while for tbe five yeflra from 1010 to 1010 the average was only 4.S0 per .cent. The total earnings on tbe stock computed by addltur to tiie net oper a ting income tbe Income from tbe se curl ties owned and deducting bond in teres t, were for 1910. 7.00 per cent: for 1911, 0.17 per centt for fOl 2, 4.07 per ceat; for 1913, 5.04 per cent; for 1014.

WORK FOR WOUNDED SOLDIER Scotch Professor Suggests That They Might Be Employed in the Extor mination of Rats. An Edinburgh (Scotland) professor In a recont letter to a newspaper sug j Rests now Vork for wounded soldiers, i Apropos of the suggested tax on cats, he says: In placo of taxing cats, I would urge the government to organ ize, not after the war, but now, a fully equlppod and efficient department for the extermination of rats, aud employ wounded soldiers to do the mechanical part of It. The systematic breeding, collecting and distributing of types of cats known to bo superior ratters would comprloo an Important section of the work, but, to make a clean sweep of tho most destructive animal pest from which tho country groans, much light labor and personnl super vision, and a good deal of simple lab oratory work under scientific expert guidance would be necessary.
