LOS ANGELES, April 3. -
Universal City, theater with a
600-acre stage, the largest single
motion picture producing plant in
the world, was recently christen-
cd by President Carl Laemmle Of
the Universal Film company of
New York.
The occasion was made an
event of national Importance
through the fact that notable
moving picture exhibitors and
writer's from every section of the
country as well as thousands of
tourists to Southern California,
attended.
Surely no more interesting and
unique city ever existed than this
with its long facade of white
buildings stretching backward in
to the beautiful valley and hill
country of San Fernando valley.
Sets" showing architecture of
almost every country may be
found jotted here and there with
In its broad confines; bits OF old
Greece. fragments of Moorish art;
here a Jap village and there a
wild west street.

WASHINGTON, April 3.--Gov-
eminent ownership of railroads
is a subject growing daily In i'm
portance.
II IL freely predicted that II
will be one of the issues In the
next presidential campaign. Prob
ably II will be n plank adopted
by the democratic party.
The financial condition OF tho
railroads is one of the strongest
reasons precipitating matters.
The railroads admit that under
private ownership they have been
a financial failure, and are now
clamoring to the interstate COM
merce commission for increased
rates.
Law Breaks Down.
The commission has ceased to
be a regulative body. The law
under which 1t has been operat-
Ing as a real regulator of rates
has broken down and the COM
mission has now bowed to politi-
cal and railway influence and is
actively undoing all that It pre-
viously did. even going to the ex-
tent OF re-opening the matter of
express rates.
Unless a regulating commits
sion is able to secure some relief
to shippers and consumers, Its
function becomes simply that of
a body to guarantee the profits
and dividends of the railroad
owners.
The answer Is too obvious to
be avoided. Regulation which
does not regulate must be sue
ceeded by ownership. The his
tory of the interstate commerce
commission act and the admins
tration of the commission has
proved that the theory of regula-
ton of a powerful business in
terest Is fallacious and that where
the interest is as powerful as that

who forcibly took the last life
preserver from woman In a
shipwreck, and warns her against
the man. She ignores the warn
ing and Delavan secures her
promise to elope with him. The
sudden illness and death OF her
mother prevents this. The shock
OF Mrs. Morrison's death de-
ranges John Morrison's mind and
the business is carried ON by
Payne. Delavan again tries to
get Helen to elope, but at the
critical moment her mothers face
appears to her In a vision and she
refuses. The rascal then schemes
to ruin the Morrisons through
