The commissioner says that unparalleled de- velopement and vast resources of the western states and territories have in vited capitol there, and the railroads have opened up an inviting field to in vestors. AS result, railroad building has been carried on far in excess of the needs of the country. With the opening of every new throl gl line complications have arisen and competition been stimu- lated to point annihilating profits and often producing ruinous losses The commissioner says that should a fund bill be presented Ito congress at the forthcoming session, it should be carefully guarded, so as to protect fully the interests of the government and i'm pose no unreasonable obligations or un due hardships upon railroad companies It is very clear, to my judgment, that | there should be an extension of time and reduction in the rate of interest.
