Capita1 Comment
BY CLYDE H. TAVENNER
Congressman from the Fourteenth district

II was very impressive argument
and It seemed to convince the com
mittee on all except one point. II
seems to be the opinion of the com
mittee that the commission can put
on a few more employees and take care
of the extra work.
Unless at least a start is made this
session toward government owner
ship of telegraphs and telephones,
there is little likelihood that anything
will be done with it at all by the pres
ent congress.
There is time to consider the neces-
sary legislation at this session, whose
termination is still indefinite. But 1t
has long been a favorite excuse for
congress to defer important legisla-
ton in short sessions because of lack
of time for proper consideration. The
session which begins next December
will end on the stroke of midnight on
March 8, 1915. In that session 1t Is
probable that nothing will be done ex-
cept enact the necessary appropria-
ton bills. So. unless the president
calls a special session of congress, the
present session is the last for two
years in which important legislation
will be enacted.
Now seems to be the golden oppor-
tunity for congress to get busy with
the postalization of telegraphs ard
Almost every leader In
Washington favors the proposition as
an abstract theory at least. Post
master General Burleson has recon-
mended it and the department has
just sent to the house committee the
report of the most exhaustive govern
ment investigation of telephones and
ever made. If the house
could pass the Lewis bill at this ses.
sion, it would virtually insure the
final adoption of the government sys-
tenn by this congress. since the SEN
ate would have time to pass 1t next
winter while waiting for the appro-
priation bills to come from the house.
