The statement expressed so often
that intermarriage or mixture Of races
leads to degeneracy Is unwarranted

URGED AS RATE
REGULATOR
Progressive Republicans to Boost
TranscontinentaI Line Cost
ing $5OO,OOO,OOO,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Govern-
ment ownership Of a single transcon-
tinental railroad, to act as a regulator
Of railroad rates throughout the
United States, is the tentative pro-
gram Of Progressive Republicans who
expect to press the proposal after the
Congressional elections this year.
Informal conferences among the
Republicans in the Senate have dis
closed unanimity Of opinion as TO the
ultimate necessity Of this movement
Senators Clapp, Cummins, Bristow'
Norris and Borah have publicly stat
ed their belief that Government own
ership Of railroads is certain 10 come
If regulation Is not more effective IN
the immediate future than In the past
None Of these Senators believe the
Government should Immediately IN
dertake the ownership Of railroads.
The immense cost of taking over all
roads has been recognized as the
greatest practical obstacle in the way
Of the propaganda The railroads Of
the country are worth $4,000 100000
or more.
A single tranScontincntal line, less
than 5000 miles in length, would rep
resent less than one-thirtieth of this
sum. and its aCquis ton would be nc
more OF an undertaking than building
the Panama Canal The ability Of
the United States To build the canal
will be cited as proof Of ability to
handle the railroad situation.

HAIL BIRTHDAY
Of BURNS
"Denner" Brings Together Low
ers of Famous Bard-DonaId
NJ. Balm Heads Clan.

There was a business meeting and
an election OF officers at the Burns
Cottage Monday afternoon and in the
evening there was a "denner," and
the celebration Of the 155th anniver-
sary Of the birth of Robert Burns.
Seventy members Of the Burns Clue
were there. They had meat. and they
could cat and then they rounded Out
the fine old grace with a mead Of
thanks, as prescribed.
II went on until midnight. in fact
and then BIT further.
As to the election, Donald McKen-
Eie Balm was made president TO sue
coed Hamilton Douglas, who intro
duced his successor in a brilliant and
feeling address Eugene Oberdorfer
and Robert NJ McWhorter were elect
ed first and second vice presidents.
"Denner" a Long, Plentiful Affair
The "denner" was long, and II was
plentiful, and 1t was good TO eat.
Either mercics" were not spared,
either, and by the time the "luntin
pipes were circulated there was
general disposition to lean far ba2
and watch the blue smoke rise, and
ever and anon to jar the roof with
handClapping.
Mr. Douglas Introduction OF the
new president brought out the first
long roll of applause Then there was
another for the new president. And
then there was more, and still more,
and then some more, to greet John NJ.
Graham, secretary Of the club, who
responded TO the principal toast Of the
evening with memorable address on
Robert Burns.
MIR. Graham spoke Of the admira
ton in which other poets were held
and of the love in which all the world
holds "Bobbie' Burns.
The Rev H. b. Bernard. chaplain
OF the Burns CLUB, responded to the
toast, THE Religion Of Robert Burns,
with an address which Judge Marcus
Beck declared later was the most re-
markable ever heard In the Burns
Cottage
Burns Truly "of Scotland"
Judge Beck himself I'm responding 20
the toast, "The Patriotism Of Burns"
denied the oft repeated doctrine that
Burns belonged to the whole world.
Burns Is loved by the whole
world" he said, but he Is SCotland's
own. The very fact that he tied
himself so closely to the Scottish soil
has endeared him to the men of all
nations. That was what Shakespeare
lacked. 1t was what Byron lacked; II
was what Goethe lacked for the Ger
mans love Schiller far better than the
more transcendent genius who failed
to Identify himself with the Father
lnnd
Robbie Burns belongs to Scot
land. The spring Of his eternal po-
etry rises in Scotland. but all mo

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The por-
tfayai OF the methods by which the
St Louis and San Francisco Railroad
was financed, made in a report to the
Senate by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. has stimulated interest
in Congress in President Wilson's
suggestion that the Interstate Com
merce Commission be given control
over the issuance Of railroad securi-
ties
Tho report Of the financial opera
lions Of the Frisco showed that its
funded debt grew to $4,000 900 in
part because the laws OF Missouri re-
qulre that stock should not be Issued
and sold below par. No restrictions
are placed on the sale OF bonds and
notes A large part Of the bonds and
notes Of the roads were sold as low as
62 10, the figures in the report indi-
eating that the railroad Is now bur
dened with the necessity Of paying
interest on upward Of $50,000,000
which It never received
Under Government regulation 1t IS
believed that such a condition could
not arise and that no railroad would
be compelled to charge freight rates
Sufficient to pay large fixed charges
for money which It never received and
from which II obtained no benefit.
The Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee will meet tomorrow 10
arrange definitely for hearings on the
Interstate trade bill. Members OF the
committee hope that Joint hearings
may be held with the House commit
