QUESTION STATEMENTS
IN COMMISSIONS REPORT
Brokers Say Street Railways of New
Orleans Are Not Munic-
ipally Owned.

That the District Commissioners erred
when they stated in their report to Con-
gress favoring municipal ownership and
operation of street railways in the Dis
trict of Columbia that the street rail-
ways of New Orleans are owned by the
city was opinion expressed today by
number of men in local financial circles
The question was the subject Of consid-
cradle discussion on the stock exchange
following the regular call.
Those who took issue with the state
ments of the Commissioners declare the
street railways of New Orleans are
owned by the New Orleans Railway and
Light Company. control of which was ac-
quired by the American Cities Company.
Control of the latter company has been
acquired by the United Gas and Electric
Company. They declare that the street
railways Of New Orleans are privately
owned and always have been. The bonds
of the New Orleans Railway and Light
Company occasionally are sold through
local brokerage houses. it is stated.
The Commissioners in their report to
Congress stated: The municipal own
ership and operation of street railroads
is no longer in the experimental stage.
The old world has long since demon
strated the wisdom and great practical
advantages of the municipaliZation of
these public utilities. and at least one
large city in this country. New Orleans
has for number of years shown with
what notable success it can be accom-
plished.
Trading was light again today on the
local exchange. The session was fea-
tureless
The only bond sold was $1,000 Rail-
way and Electric Is. which brought S2l4.
In the public utilities list Ii shares of
Railway and Electric preferred brought

Final Vote Is Applauded.

The final vote DELAYED a long as pos
sible by picturesque and strategic meth
ods of Representatives johnson of Sout II
Carolina. Byrnes of Tennessee and 9TH
ers was appauded on the floor and in
the galleries.
Organized labor was behind Represent
ative Good. and it had been expected that
Representative Buchanan of Illinois
would take the greater part of the fight
on MS shoulders. but the wave of opposi-
ton 10 the small appropriation written
into the bill by the committee was swept
on by it's own impetus
Representative Goods original motion
was to increase the appropriation by sJO,-
G3o. to be used for investigating infant
posed on the ground that the appropria-
tons committee had followed the law
Great stress was laid uron the fact that
IN TINS particular instance the law had
been followed absolutely
Representative Stafford ridicuIed the
small economy in the approximation
and recommended u larger approximation
for the bureau.
You vote hundreds of thousands OF
dollars to investigate hog cholera and
the House goes mad over it, lie said 10
the democrats of the south. and yet you
call II false economy when we propose
to spend money for the little children on
whom the country depends for the
strength of the coming generation
Johnson's Amendment Lost.
In order TO stem the tide. if possibl. e.
and prevent the House from utterly ruin
ing the appropriation committee Repre-
sentative johnson of South Carolina Of
Tered an amendment which would limit
any increase received by the childrens'
bureau TO investiSat tons which were not
already authorized by some other bureau.
AS the public health service and other
bureaus are clearly entitled to ipves-
ugate child labor and child mortality
the House landed heavily on this pro-
posed limitation and eventually voted
II down. Representative Lenroot of
Wisconsin in an appeal to vote down
the limitation. told the southern demo-
Gratis that the House was about to de-
as valuable and Il little more so tina n
that of Il hog.
Ihefe Is no more important question be-
lore TINS congress. and it will be a dis
grace II We do not provide for the in
crease
Representative Me- of Illinois said
that the johnson amend .,ent would lie
giving it to the childrens $ bureau with one
hand and taking it away with the other
do not be stampeded." begged Repre-
sentative Johnson of South Carolina who
had the bill in charge. for that is all this
amounts to. He said that it was unfair
to talk about 100000 for hog cholera
and only $4,000 for children.
The naval affairs committee spends
SlsO,GO,U3O, and you might say that we
spend that amount for ships and only
$4,000 for babies.
