Bryan's new scheme for the regulation

State ownership of railways within
State boundaries, has been discussed
here with considerable interest Edwin
A. Moselv, secretary Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. said;
Il can scarcely believe that Mr.. Bryan
has been seriously reported. My main
criticism Of Bryan's reported intention of
opening up the entire question OF rail
road control again is that he proposes
something new on the very eve Of really
the first serious effort that has been
made in this country to regulate rail.
road operations by The nation. Under
the new law an effort Is to be made in
good faith, and All other attempts were
puny compared with this. My own sug
gcstion is that we let, the present law
have q trial. Perhaps after It has been
in operation for a few months Mr. Bryan
may be willing to defer the scheme
