He|pfuIn0ss and Encouragement
 Urged by Alfred P. Thom.
CREDIT MUST BE IMPROVED
Increase of Transportation Facilities Necessary to Secure Relief From High Cost of Living May Thus Be Provided For by the Railroads.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-A new policy of government railroad regulation, based on constructive principles of helpfulness and encouragement instead of upon principles of repression and punishment, swas urged by Alfred P. Thom, counsel for the Railway Execu- tives Advisory Committee, the first witness on behalf of the railroads be- fore the Newlands Joint Committee on Interstate Commerce, which has insti- tuted general inquiry into the prob lens of railroad regulation
 Tt is proposed by the joint resolu- tion of Congress" said MT. Thom, ito go into comprehensive study of the whole subject of transportation, to make new assessment, after 29 years of experiment, of it's history, its pres- ent conditions and it's future needs The railroads accept the view that reg ulation Is permanent and enduring part of government in America and that the first duty of the carriers is to : the public That duty is to afford reasonable facilities on reasonable terms and at reasonable rates, and this must be done before any private inter- ests can be considered"
 Certainty, Safety and Sufficiency.
 MT. Them contended that the real in- terest of the public is in being assured of certainty, safety and sufficiency of transportation facilities, rather than in rates. The first consideration of the public is to obtain transportat jon faein- iii s1'assss.-----SvnHt the cost is, Is in reality second consideration, he said
 Mir. Thom proposed an increase of transportation facilities as a method of securing relief from the high cost of living. "There have been less than 1000 niles of new railroad construct ed in the United States during the past year," he said, Hess than in any year since 184S, except the period of the Civil War, and yet the cost of living Is daily advancing owing to shortage of supplies which might be remedied by securing access to new areas of pro- duction.
 Credit Must Be Improved.
 This leads to the consideration as to whether railroad credit is. as good as
Judsonia weekly advance., 1916-12-06

the public interest requires It is i'm possible for railroads to earn enough to supply the necessary new facilities from current revenue. They must be provided from credit. Investors can not be coerced, but must be attracted"
 Among the conditions affecting rail- road credit which deter investors he mentioned the following:
 First, Railroad revenues are not controlled by investors, but are fixed and limited by governmental authority and not by one but by several govern mental authorities, which do not recog- nize responsibility for assured results to investors and are uncoordinated
 Second, Railroads cannot control and the government cannot and does not limit the expense account.
 Third, The present system of regu- lation is based on policy of regulation and correction and not on policy of helpfulness and encouragement.
 Fourth. The outstanding obligations of the railroads have already exceeded the financial rule of safety and involve a disproportionate amount of obliga tions bearing fixed charges.
 Fifth, The investor must accept a subordinate obligation or security with no assurance of a surplus of earnings to support 1t.
 Sixth. Other competitive lines of in vestment present superior attractions.
 Seventh, The railroad business is largely controlled by political instead of business considerations.
 Look Forward, Not Back.
 "We may debate about what has caused the present conditions" said MT. Thom, but we cannot debate about what the people n0ed. The President has taken the view that we must look fresh assessment of circumstances in order to deal helpfully and intelligent ly with the problem. Abuses are no more prevalent in the railroad busi- ness today than in any other business humanely conducted. The great ques- ton now is whether the existing sys- tenn of regulation gives the public re- liable assurance of sufficient present and future railroad facilities.
 Those who oppose any change must make their appeal on the ground that the present systems assure the public of the continued adequacy of trans portation facilities If they do not, no argument based on the desiralffiifitty Of tne present dual system of regulation will be accepted by public judgment The question of states rights is not involved. If the regulation of transpor- tation facilities privately owned should fail government ownership must fol low, and then all power of the states over the railroads would disappear.
 Let us debate this question, then, not upon any mere theory or jealousy as to the distribution of governmental power, but upon the large issue of what the public interest requires i'll respect of the assurance of adequate transportation service"

PRIMARY LAW MAKES
 NUMBER OF CHANGES
Under law Recently adopted Primary Will be Held Last
 Tuesday in May.

The adoption of Act No. l, the primary election law, will bring about many changes and inaugu- rate many new methods in the holding of primary elections here after.
 One of the changes will be more rapid count of the ballots cast in a primary by reason of a subdivision of precincta. The new law provides that no pre- cinct shall have more than 100 voters in it. At present many precincts have 500 or more in them.
 Another change is the date of holding the primaries. Under the new law primary elections must be held on the last Tuesday in May instead of on the last Tues. day in March as at present. It al-. so provides that the County Gen. tral Committees shall convene at noon on Friday following the pri- mary to canvass the votes, and , the committee must report not later than Monday.
 The new law provides a penal 4ty of imprisonment of from 30 days to one year in the county jail and a fine of from $100 to $500 for any person who votes in the primary of a party to which Rhe does not belong. Nine other Notfenses against the act carry the same penalty.
 The law provides that immedi- ately upon the completion of the count; a copy of the result must be placed in conspicuous place in the precinct. The count must begin as soon as the polls are closed and continue until con- Ipleted.

DOUBTS EXISTENCE OF
INHABITANTS ON MARS
B. A. Baumgardt, Lecturins Before
Geographic Society. Says Only
Imagination Supports Belief.

The lifeless moon, burnt out cons ago
and covered over with wart-like extinct
volcano craters, is a signal prophecy Of
the fate of our own earth, according TO
b. A. Bumgardt. who lectured on An
Evening With the Stars" before members
OF the National Geographic Society at
New Masonic Temple last night.
Speaking of the theory, much-discussed,
romanced about, and fought over, that
Mars is peoplcd by an engineering race,
which has found II necessary to en-
broider the planet with canals. Mr.. Bum
gardt said that II is based upon imagi-
nation.
Nothing shows upon the photograph Of
Mars made 10y the most powerful tele-
scopes that bears forceful conviction OF
the existence OF such canals. he said. and
he displayed recent photographs OF our
neiEhboring planet to bear his statement
out. That the billions OF suns and their
planets scattered through space make the
probs OF other inhs sbited earths like
our own very strong. he said. must, how
ever, be admitted.
Mr. Rumgardt spoke of the rings
around Saturn as far-away wedding
rings which will one day break up into
new moons. In speaking of comets. he
said that the comet that preceded Hal
ley's will not be visible again for 3,0oC
years

Ohio Representative viii Discuss De-
fense at Meeting Tomorrow in

For two important reasons the Com
munity Forum Assembly at the Grover
Cleveland School tomorrow afternoon
should interest every man and woman in
Washington" said A. ]. DriscoIL presi-
dent OF the Forum and OF the Mid-City
Citizens Association, yesterday, re
ferring 10 the public meeting which takes
place at o'clock in the public school
building at Eigth and streets north
west
"One reason is in the topic OF the meet
ing and the chars cter Of the principal
speaker. Admittedly paramount to every
other question before US as Americans.
is the question OF national defense More
over, the speaker. Representative Simeon
d. Fess. of Ohio, is a man whose record.
as well as position, makes him peculiarly
well qualified TO address this forum
assembly.
The other reason why this public
meeting is OF extraordinary importance
is in the fact that the Board Of Educs e
ton. in its answer to the request OF the
community association OF citizens. has
thus far taken the position that the
adult citizenship has no definitely recoE-
nized and proper right to use these public
buildings for 'peaceable assembly to con-
suit for the common good but as only
tentative suferance subject TO this
boards discretion, taste and preference. "
