The real owners of the railroads Of
this country are the plain people. Who
ever seeks to array the Government
against the owners of those properties
is really seeking TO array the Govern
ment against the people of the United
States
This was one of the 5terse statements
made before the Senate Interstate Com
nerce- Committee, today by Daniel
Davenport prominent attorney of
Bridgeport, Conn, who addressed the
committee on the difficulties in the way
of any action by Congress looking to
railroad rate legislation at the present
session of Congress
Government Lacks Power.
Witness Davenport also asserted that
the Governmental ownership of railroads
was an impossibiIity under the Constttu-
ton of the United States, which limits
all control to interstate commerce. Any
attempt to exercise supervision over
traffic between any two places within
State would be an invasion of the In
hcrent rights of a sovereign State
Several Senators made inquiries along
this line and quoted incidents where the
Government had authorized individuals
to do things Of that sort. Why could
not then the National government &c
the same thing? they inquired. Never
theIess, the witness insisted upon his
previous argument. and said only a con-
stitutional amendment could change the
present limitations.
The committee held an executive ses-
sion and decided TO meet at 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning.
Spoke for Stockholders.
''I appear not as the agent of any rail-
road magnates," said Mr.. Davenport
but as the representative of that in
Vulnerable host Of those whose money
built the railroads-those who hold Sc
curities in nearly all the railroads OF
the country
MI. Davenport told of the unusually
large number of bank depositors IN his
home town, and the immense amount OF
money the banks had invested in rail-
road securities One-siXth Of all the
money invested in railroads, he decIar-
ed. belongs 10 the depositors IN these
savings banks, to life insurance COM
panies. educational institutions, etc

ltmita tons of the Constitution regarding
all legislation affecting property rights
