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 regulatio | and correction and not on a policy of helpfulness and encouragement.
 Fourth. The outstanding obligations of the railroads have already exceeded the financial rule of safety and involve disproportionate amount of obliga tions bearing fixed charges
 Fifth. The investor must accept a subordinate obligation or security with no assurance of surplus of earnings to support it.
 sixth. Other competitive lines of in. yestment present superior attractions.
 seventh. The railroad business Is of business considerations.
 Look Forward, Not Back.
 We may debate about what has caused the present conditions" said Mir. Thom. but we cannot debate about what the people need. The President has taken the view that we must look forward in this matter and make q 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 ill any other business humanely conducted. The great ques. tion 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. nc

NEW POLICY NEEDED IN GOVERN MENT
 RAILWAY CONTROL
Hs|pfu|ness andEncouragemenI
 Urged by Alfred P. Thom.
CREDIT MUST BE IMPROVED
Increase of Transportation Facilte: Necessary to Secure Relief From High Cost of Living May Thus Be Provided For by the Railroads.

TFoNloed For by the RaIiroad5.
 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. was urged by Alfred r. Thom. counsel for the Railway Exeeu. 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.
 Ut is proposed by the joint resou. ton of Congress- said Mir. Thom, ito go into comprehensive study of the whole subject Of transportation. 10 make new assessment, after 29 years of experiment, of it's history, its pres. ent conditions and its 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 tcrms and at reasonable rates. and this must be done before any private inter. ests can be considered"
 Certainty, Safety and Sufficisncy.
 Mir. ThOm 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 transportation facili. ties. What the cost Is, Is in reality . second consideration. he said
 Mir. Thom proposed an increase of transportation facilities as method of securing relief from the high cost Of living. '1rhere have been less than 1000 miles of new railroad construct. ed In the United States during the past year" he said. Hess than in any year since 1S4S. except the period of the Civil War, and yet the cost of living is daily advancing owing to a 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 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 % investors and are uncoordinated.

BOISE WELCOMES BORAH
Idaho Senator Arraigns President
Wilson For His Domination
of Congress

BOISE, Ida, Oct 11.-(Special.) J.
United States Senator VIM. E. Borah
scathlngly arraigned President Wilson
for his domination through party eau
cuses of every session of congress
since he has been chief executive of
the nation; for his changeable attitude
regarding international law to the
jeopardy of American citizens, and his
Mexican policy in an address here to-
night following his homecoming. No
man in the public life of Idaho has
ever been rendered a warmer reception
nor has there been greater enthusiasm
manifested at republican rally in
Idaho than on his appearance before
his home" people this evening.
Senator Borah was visibly moved.
When he arose to speal. the great
audience that packed Pinney theater
and overfowed into the street cheered
him to the echo
Senator Borah declared he did not
propose to discuss the one term plank
in the democratic platform, nor the
Violation of the Panama canal tolls
plank, but would take up the record
Il party in power has made and criti-
CHE that He then bitterly assailed
the caucus system of both houses of
congress, particularly of the senate, by
which the democratic party has, since
the Inauguration of President Wilson,
'raiiroaded legislation
He charged that 20 senators in the
upper house who controlled tho demo-
cratic caucus controlled the legisla-
ton of the senate to the exclusion of
all others. The Underwood tariff came
in for denunciation, and the attitude of
the party in power with relation TO
the immigration bill. The EGanson
law was branded as measure that
a dangerous precedent By |
giving congress the power to regulate |
wages which must eventually result in |
arbitration.
Regarding the presidential situation,
Senator Borah declared that sentiment
is for Hughes.
