If Regulation Does Not
Solve the Railroad
Problem
SAYS UNDERWOOD TO
CLUB IN NEW YORK
Declares Regulation Has
Reduced Rates Charged
for Transportation

New York, March l0.--In a speech on
the railroad situation before the Sphinx
club here last night, Oscar W. Under
wood, House majority leader in the last
Congress and now elected a senator from
Alabama, declared that IF government
al regulation is unable to cope with the
yexed problem that confronts us, the
people will accept government ownership
as the next step ahead"
Discussing the present system of reg
ulating business, Mr.. Underwood said
the time had come when the government
should aid and assist the leaders of in
dustry and finance.
at is not enough for the government
to permit these men to rise from the
prostration which has overtaken them
and their affairs he continued. "We
have reached the point on our way TO
social betterment where sound progress
sivism must recognize that the proper
regulation of business requires that it
must sometimes be helped and not al
ways hindered; must be sometimes as
sisted and not forever stricken; that we
must occasionally say You may and
not always You shall not
Adequate provision for capital to
maintain and extend the transportation
system of the country is the problem
confronting the government in its reg
ulation OF railroads, Mr.. Underwood as
serted He added that "our present
system OF regulation is breaking down,
in SO far as it has supervised the f..
nances of the railroads with a view TO
allowing them properly to protect their
securities that their credit may be main
tanned TO aid in present and future de-
yelopment."
The regulation of railroads, Mr.. I'm
derwood said, should take into consid-
Grafton the interests, not only of the
railroads themselves, and those directly
interested as shippers, but Of the en-
tire country whose commercial prosperi-
ty is dependent upon adequate shipping
facilities

government regulation OF railroad" he
continued, "and the government win not
turn back. Regulation of practices and
rates is here and here TO stay. But let
us stand for wise and Just regulation
and not for ill-considered and dangerous
regulation. We must regulate so as
TO ensure all necessary railroad facilities

Prosecution in Terre Haute
Election Case Says Mayor
Ruled as a Gar
28 POLITICIANS
ARE INVOLVED
Whole Day Is Taken by the
District Attorney
in Address

indianapolis, Ind, March l0.--united
States Attorney Frank C. Daley, in his
opening statement yesterday at the trial
OF Mayor Dom M Roberts OF Terre
Haute and the q other defendants who
are charged with conspiracy to corrupt
the election of Nov 3, 1914, in Terre
Haute, outlined the facts the govern
ment expects to prove and declared that
Roberts was the head of the conspiracy
and "ruled as a car"
He told how the government contends
the false registrations were made, OF the
alleged slugging and rough work at the
polls, of the manner of collecting and
the amount of the 50 called "slush fund'
drawn from saloon men and resort keep
ers, and spent much time discussing the
law and the governments right to intec-
fere in the election.
About 1000 false registrations wete
prepared at Terre Haute police head
quarters at the direction of Roberts by
Chief Of Police Holler, who pleaded gull
ty, Mr.. Daley told the jury. He said
Roberts and Hollcr decided on the num-
Der of false registrations to make in
each precinct and then set about man
ufacturing names for the fictitious vot-
ers. About 5000 false registrations were
made in Terre Haute, Mr.. Daley de-
cared.
The district attorney told Of the
means employed by the defendants to
get men whom they could control on the
election boards. He said they defied in
functions and drove away special deputy
sherifTs with revolyers in order TO place
the men they desired on the boards.
As an example of the methods used by
iepeaters, Mr.. Daley gave the follow.
ing.
Zone of the fellows who was busy re-
peating in precinct A, sixth ward, was a
one-legged negro who voted eight times
in the precinct. One time he came with
a peg leg. another time he wore cork
leg, the third time he appeared with
out anything strapped TO his leg the
fourth time an iron extension leg, an
other time with one crutch. One time,
for the purpose Of deception, be wore
glasses"

both for the present and for the future.
AS the public in the end must pay the
bill, it is primarily interested in the
railroads securing the money needed for
their maintenance and development at
reasonable rates and equally interested
in seeing that it is wisely expended.
Revolutions never move backward. Ii
government regulation is unable TO
cope with the vexed problem that con-
fronts us, the people will accept govern
ment ownership as the next step ahead.
1t il therefore matter of great inn
portance that we should earnestly en-
deavor to reach a fair and reasonable
solution Of the problem OF regulation at
as early day as possible"
After discussing the difficulties OF deal
ing with railroads through the varying
jurisdiction of the state and federal gov
ernments, Mr. Underwood said;
ut cannot be denied that public con-
troll has reduced the rates charged for
transportation and abolished unjust dis
ordinations given to favored shippers.
But the greater problem remains I'M
solved. Can the money be provided TO
expend and develop these great public
works in a manner commensurate with
the expanding needs of our commerce
under the present system of public con
trols
IF railway investments cannot be
made attractive TO capital is not the

breakdown of its transportation sys-

It was asserted IN some of the hear

cept goods under the uniform bill Of lad-
