get a 10 cent levy on every member OF
a republican club to keep up the central

a thing the JOURNAL man can not find
fault with, and the truth is 1t is

CLOSURE is IMPRACTIcABLE
Washington. May MIR. Gear from the Senate
Committee on Pacific Railroads. this afternoon sub
mt,ed a report on the bill 10 refund the debts or
the Central and Union Pacific railroads TO the Gov
ernment The bin Itself reported several days
ago.
The committee does not recommend any departure
from the settled policy OF the Government to Keep
Itself free from any connection with the ownership
and operation OF railways 1t does not recommend
and feels sure that the good Of the people
would not approve any legislation looking to the
control and operation by the Government OF single
systems OF railways in competition with those con-
troled and operated by private enterprise or to the
inauguration OF policy the logical outcome or
which must be the ultimate control and operation
by the Government OF the great railway systems
OF the United States In the opinion Of the COM
mittee the Government had far better abandon
their entire interest In these properties than take
the ars, step In a scheme vast and perilous.
The foreclosure OF the lien OF the Government Is
disapproved for practical reasons. The Government
aided parts OF the various roads upon which the
Governement lien rests are incomplete at the out
lets and practically without terminals and other
INDISPENSABLE adjuncts These could not be en-
braced or controlled IN proceedings for the fore
closure OF the liens and could only be availed OF TO
connlete the lines which might be acquired by the
Government under foreclosure by tho outlay OF
large sums OF money In addition to those when
would be required TO discharge the prior liens upon
the aide lines Foreclosure OF the Governments
line would OF course Involve the necessity OF pro-
viding for the retirement OF the first mortgage
debt upon the aided parts OF the property but under
such foreclosure the Government could only ac-
ouire fractional parts OF the system. to the sue
ce.sfI operation In which other lines and terminals
wholly unaffected by the Government lien are
essential.
In the opinion OF the committee. no foreclosure
~ the Governments lien should be undertaken
without full provision previously made by Congress
for The discharge Of superior liens and for the ac-
ouision OF the other important and valuable prop
rrtles which murt be acquired In order to make
possible any successful operation OF the aided parts
