LINK APPEAL WITH

Counsel for the Railroad
Executives Presents Map
and Data to Investigators
to Support Argument in
Favor of Abolition Of Pub
lie Utilities Commission.

The railroads operating In
Idaho and other states have
appealed to the Newlands
investigating committee now
probing into the railroad sit
uation that exists over the
country, and in session at
Washington, D. c., to give
the interstate commerce
commission full power to
regulate them, thereby do
ing away with regulation by
state railroad or public util-
ity commissions. Under this
appeal it is the desire Of the
railroads to have the inter
state commerce commission
reorganized on a zone basis
something after the manner
Of the federal reserve sys-
tenn.
The carriers claim that such a form
Of regulation will bring certainty to
railroad arrangements and enable
them to develop large sections Of ter
ritory that 1t Is impossible to develop
as the result of uncertainty which
they claim exists today.

mittee in outlining tho inability
of the railroads to extend their
lines into undeveloped territory

ity, referred particularly to the
condition that exists in Idaho, and
presented q map to Senator New

territory in the state Of Idaho
there are only s35 miles Of rail-
road. The map afro outlined tho
large sections Of idaho territory
which are today without any

At the same time Mr. Thorn showed
that for each one hundred square miles
of territory in the state Of New Jer-
sey there are 81 miles of railroad. but
that in the United States as whole
there are only s.53 miles Of railroad
line for each one hundred square miles
of territory.
Mr.. Thorn declared that the railroad
arrangements of the country were of
the opinion that for the next 10 years
approximately $500. 100000 should be
spent each year by American railroads

Chicago, Dec. 1.-According to the

prices is proposed by Senator James
Hamilton Lewis as means Of COM
batting the growing high cost Of live
ing. The senator. upon his return to
Chicago from a vacation trip follow
ing his work for the Democratic ticket

embargo would be placed upon food
stuffs by the federal government, but
that steps would be taken to make
legal government seizure of necessi-
ties and their sale at reasonable prices.
The senator was speaking as whip
of the Democratic majority OF the
senate and one of the administration
leaders there.
OPPOSES AN EMBARGO.
Congress would not pass an en-
barge act" the senator said. THE
president would not recommend it. The
placing of an embargo against Amer
lean foodstuffs going into Europe and
Asia would call down on the United
States from these lands a retaliation of
an embargo against the American
stuffs entering these
world ports. The Frain prices would
drop, the farmers, grain dealers and
all commercial banking houses would
have their contracts now outstanding
for grain or money based on grain
repudi ted. Manufacturers in the
towns would be thrown into a panic
by the feared effect on these factories
of the embargo by Europe and Asia
against manufactured stuff from the
cities. The losses to the United States
would be enormous.
"Eesides this, such self-inlposed en-
barge would remove the grain only
