Raise May Give An Impetus
To Government Ownership Plan

Washington, Dec. 1S-Many progressive men here be-
leve today's action by the Interstate Commerce commission,
favoring the railroads, a course taken under strong pressure
from big business and from the White House, spells the be-
ginning of the end of the commission and means that public
confidence in it will speedily vanish. The government
ownership movement will be given impetus. 1t is a remark
able fact that when Commissioner Thorne, of Iowa, made his
argument here some weeks ago against granting the adj
vances, after the case was reopened, opinion was general that
the roads would be turned down. But enough commission
ers ''switched'' to give the roads a victory.
