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-
tinentaI 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 to come
If regulation Is not more effective in
the immediate future than in the past.
None of these Senators believe the
Government should Immediately I'M
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 transcontlnental line, less
than 5000 miles in length, would rep
resent less than -thirtieth of this
sum, and its acquisition would be no
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.

There vas a business meeting and
an election Of officers at the Burns
Cottage Monday afternoon, and in the
evening there was a "dcnner," and
the celebration Of the l55th annlver-
sary Of the birth Of Robert Burns.
Seventy members Of the Burns Clue
were there. They had meat, and they
could eat, and then they rounded OUT
the fine old grace with a mead Of
thanks, as prescribed.
It went on until midnight, in fact
and then bit further.
As to the election, Donald McKen-
Kie 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.

The "denner" was long, and II was

'Ither mercies" we're not spared,

general disposition to lean far back
and watch the blue smoke rise, and
ever and anon to jar the roof with
handclapping.

new president brought out the first
long roll of applause. Then there was

The Rev H. B. Bernard. chaplain
Of the Burns Clu3, responded to the
toast, "The Religion Of Robert Burns,
with an address which Judge Marcus
Beck declared Later was the most ro-
markable ever heard in the Burns
Cottage

Judge Beck himself in responding 70
the toast, THE Patriotism Of Burns,
denied the oft repeated doctrine that
Burns belonged TO the whole world.
Burns iq 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 Shakespe
lacked: II was what Byron lacked, It
was what Goethe lacked for the Ger

more transcendent genius who failed

etry rises in Scotland, but all tho

WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.--The por-
trayal 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.
The 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-
quire that stock should not be issued
and sold below par. No restrictions
are placed on the sale Of bonds and
notes. large part Of the bonds and
notes of the roads were sold as low as
G. ?, the fgures in the report indi-
eating that the railroad is now bur
dened with the necessity OF paying
interest on upward OF $50, 600, 900
which it never received
Under Government regulation il is
believed that such a condition could
not arise and that no railroad would
he compelled to charge freight rates
sufficient to pay large fixed charges
for money which It never received and
from which It obtained no benefit.
The Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee will meet tomorrow to
arrange definitely for hearings on the
Interstate trade bill Members Of the
committee hope that Joint hearings
may be held with the House commit
tee.
Members or the Senate committee
have indicated that they are satisfied
with the ira lie commission bill in its
present form,
