Must Execute Contract.

Under the law, the Secretary of War
is charged with the duty of executing a
contract for building the memorial in ac-
cordance with recommendations of the
commission, and members of the commits
sion have claimed that the Secretary has
no discretionary power as to the persons
or company of builders with whom such a
contract is to be made.
Recently the Secretary obtained from
the Attorney General advice as to the
formers duty in making such contract
but this advice leaves the Secretary in
the same position he was before he sought
the opinion. namely, that he has author
ity to make the contract if he sees fit a.
well authority TO reject the proposed
contract If he sees fit.
Former Senator Cullom said today that
he would have conferences with members
of the commssion as to the possibility OF
meeting with the Secretary of War. in ar
effort to straighten out the tangle. 1t Is
said that an invitation from the Secre-
tary to meet with him would greatly sim
plify the situation.

BOURNE HITS
u. S. OWNERSHIP OF WIRES
Favors It Theoretically, But Practi-
cally Is Bitterly Opposed to
It-Gives Reasons.

Former Senator Jonathan Bourne jr.,
VINO was for six years d member of the
Senate committee on post Offices and post
roads and for two years its chairman,
today gave out the following statement
criticising Postmaster General Burleson's
advocacy of government ownership of
telegraph and telephone lines:
Il have not dollars interest in any
telephone or telegraph securities. 1 am
theoretically in favor of government OWL
ership of telegraph and telephone lines,
but practically bitterly opposed to it.
Why? Because, to my mind. it would be
the beginning of government ownership
of national public utilities, eventuating in
bureaucratic paternalism, dry rot and, in
side of a century, governmental dissou-
ton.
Submits Lists of Employees.
Il submit the following figures:
Government civil employees, 41O, 332; tele-
phone employees, $1,000; telegraph en-
ployes, 10000; railway employees. 1,669, 600
electric employees, 200, 729; water trans
portation, $4,000: express companies, 20,
2s4. Total, 2.slS,345.
Under government ownership and oper-
ation there would soon be more than
1000, 600 governmental employees.
Taking into consideration the fact that
i'm the last ten presidential elections the
President has been elected by a plurality
varying from 1900 plus to a little more
than 100000. the thought naturally
arises that three million governmental
employees could absolutely control the gov
eminent under our political machinery,
The tendency being more pay, less service
IN governmental employment. resulting In
resiStIess efforts on the part of outside
labor to obtain government employment
because less onerous and more remunera-
tive with accumulative dissatisfaction and
irritation in all private enterprise"

Garrison's Presence Necessary.

Mr. Cullom did not care today to be
interviewed on the subject of the dead
lock that exists in the plans for award
ing the contract for the building, prefer
ring to reserve any statement he may
have to make until after the meeting. 1t
is suggested today, however, that unless
the commission personally meets with
the Secretary of War, either on an invi-
tation from him to gatler at his office.
or on the invitation from the commission
for the Secretary to go to its quarters
at the Senate office building, the commits
sion will be able to do little at its meet
ing Monday beyond affirm the position
it has taken that the Secretary should
make contract with the company it Sc
lected to construct the memorial, mas
much most members of the commission
feel, and are so expressing themselves
daily, that they did all that taey can
do, In the best interests of the public, in
recommending the award of the contract
to the construction company it selected
among those which bid on building the
memorial.
Such an affirmation. ii is pointed out,
will not make for any progress in begin
ming work on the memorial. inasmuch as
protests have been made to the Secre-
tary of War against the award, by per-
sons who desire used in the construction
marble from Georgia, which was not Sc
lected by the commission. Among these
proteStantS are Senator Bacon Represent
ative Underwood and others.

COOPERATION NEEDED
OF SECRETARY OF WAR
Garrison and Lincoln Memorial Com
mission Members May Hold
Joint Meeting.

In preparation for the meeting of the
Lincoln memorial commission, which is
to be held at the Senate office building
Monday, members of the commission who
are in Washington are today are discuss
ing the possibility of meeting with the
Secretary of War to decide what shall be
done in regard to the award Of the con-
tract for constructing the building. Such
Il joint meeting of the Secretary of War
and the commission, it Is said. probably
would result in smoothing out the diff
culties in the way of letting the contract
for construction.
rormer Senator Shelby Nj. Cullom, res
ident commissioner of the memorial, said
today that all of the various questions
with which the commission is concerned
will be taken up at the meeting to be
held Monday. and that he expects former
President William II. Taft, chairman of
the commission, to come from New
Haven to preside.
