Washington, Dec. 18.-A sweeping
declaration in favor of government
ownership of telephone and telegraph
lines n an assertion that the postal
service now is self-supporting for the
first time since 1883, are features OF
the annual report Of Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson, transmitted today to
congress.
Concerning the acquisition Of tele-
phone and telegraph lines, Postmaster
General Burleson says that the gov
eminent has demonstrated its capac-
ity to conduct public utilities, and,
from his present information, he is in
clined clearly to the taking over by
the pQstoffice department of the tele-
graph lines and, possibly, also, of the
telephone lines. Discussing that the
postmaster general says:
"a study Of the constitutional pur-
poses of the postal establishment
leads to the conviction that the post
office department should have control
over all means Of the communication
Of intelligence. The first telegraph
line in this country was maintained
and operated as a part of the postal
service, and 1t is to be regretted that
congress saw At to relinquish this IA
cility to private enterprise. The mo-

eminent ownership of telephone lines.
1t has been ~competently decided that
a telephone message n a telegram
are the same within the meaning of
the laws governing the telegraph
service and therefore it is believed
that the statute enabling the govern
ment to acquire, upon payment of an
appraised valuation, the telegraph
lines Of the country will enable the
government to acquire the telephone
network of the country. While it Is
true that the telephone companies
have not compiled with the require
ments OF section 1851, Revised Stat
utes, this can not be held to nullify
the intent Of the law, since the nonuse
on the part Of the government Of any
Of it's constitutional privileges in no
wise surrenders the right to exercise
these. privileges whenever the best in
terest Of the nation. demand.
I'm June last a r committee was ap-
pointed to make an Investigation of
this subject, to determine the prelim-
mary steps necessary for the govern
ment to take toward the acquisition
Of the telegraph lines of the country in
accordance with section 1851 of the
Revised Statutes. This committee is
now engaged in preparing its prelim-
mary report, and If the findings justi-
fly such action proper recommends
ton will be made by the department
at q. later date"

Government Ownership
Is Favored by Burleson
in His Annual Report

nopolistic nature of the telegraph
business makes it of vital Importance
to the people hat it be conducted by
unselhsh interests. and this can be &C
complished only through government
ownership.
The act Of July "a, 1866, providing
for the government acquisition Of the
telegraph. lines upon payment of an
appraised valuation and the act Of
1902 directing the postmaster general
to report to congress the probable
cost Of connecting a telegraph and
telephone system with the postal
service by some feasible plan are evil
dences of the policy Of this govern
ment ultimately to acquire and oper-
ate these electrical means Of commu-
nication as postal facilities, as is done
by all the principal nations, the United
States alone excepted.
THE successful operation Of the
parcel post has demonstrated the ca
pacity of the government to conduct
the public utilities which fall proper
ly within the postal provision Of the
constitution.
Every argument in favor of the
government ownership of telegraph
lines may be advanced with equal
logic and force in favor Of the gov

POWER TO STOP CARS
FOR PARADE DESIRED
Commissioners Ask Congress to
Pass Bill Empowering Them
to Clear Streets.

The Commissioners today forwarded
to Congress the draft of a bill which
would give them authority to suspend
street car and all other traffic on the
streets of the District foI a parade
The Bill is a substitute tor The one in
trcduced some tine ~" b. Senator
Cones, and which was referred to the
Commissioners for Z T-polt.
The Commissioners reported that they
are in favor of the object of the Jones
bill, but that they believe the object
can be better accomplished by the sub
stitute bill. At the present time the
authority of the Commissioners to sus-
pend traffic on the public streets for
parades is doubtful, and the proposed
bill, if enacted, would remove this
doubt.
Engineer Commissioner Harding. who
is also a member of the Public Utilities
Commission. made the following report:
Under the terms of the bill. the Com
missioners are authorized to suspend
street railway traffic in order to give
a right of way for parades, and. as the
schedule of operation of street railways
is under the Public Utilities Commission.
the matter was referred to that Com
mission for report. The Commission be-
lieves that the control of general traffic
on the streets of the District of Colum-
bia should be vested in the Commis-
sioners."

the coolest. He admitted that ne did

1t is much easier to find the coolest

tinued. That is. beyond a douhr Rock
