GOVERNMENT WIRE
 OWNERSHIP URGED
BURLESON WANTS CONTROL. OF TELEGRAPH AND
 TELEPHONE.

Washington, Dec. 18.-A sweeping declaration in favor of government ownership of telephone and telegraph lines and an assertion that the postal service now is self-supprting for the first time since 1883, are features of the annual report of Postmaster Gen
 eral Burleson,a transmitted to con- gress.
 Concerning the acquisition of tele- phone and telegraph lines, Postmaster General Burleson says that the gov ernment has demonstrated its capacity to conduct public utilities, and, from his present information, he is in- clined clearly to the taking over by the postoffice department of the tele- graph lines, and, possibly, also 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 postoffice 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 ser- vice, and it is to be regretted that congress saw fit to relinquish this facility to private enterprise. The monopolistic nature of the telegraph business makes it of vital importance to the people that it be conducted by unselfish interests, and-th can be accomplished only through government ownership"
