GREEN'TO ADVOCATE
D. G. PHONE BILL
Iowa Congressman viii Support
Lewis Measure In Lower
House Of Congress.
PLEDGES ACTIVE FIGHT
Believes Government Should
Begin In Capital to Take
!. commurications.

coprressman william r. Green OF
Iowa, member OF the House ways
ana Means Committee, declared him
self today In favor OF Government
ownership OF the telephone lines In
the District of Columbia.
Judge Green looks on the Lewis
bill. which. proposes the Postoffice
Department shall take over the telc'
phone lines in Washington, as meas
ure worthy OF support He will not
only support Il but he Will take an
active part on the Republican sioe
In pushing Il forward.
As Judge Green will serve In the
new Congress, which begins Marcn y,
his decision to press the matter IL
Important. Tho bill cannot be passed
in the short session, and Mr. Lewis
will 20 out OF office at the end OF
this session, but Judge Grcen VIII be
in q position to press the p.atter.
studies systems.
For some time Judge Green has
been studying the telephone and teie-
graph syptems. and he is preparing
. bill for the naturalization OF tho
telephones. He hopes to see the Gov
eminent take over the telephones OF
the country and the Postcffice De
partment ultimately TO q Jurisdtc'
tion over telephones an kilograms.
As for ownership OF the telephone
lines, here. he looks on IL ms first
step toward public ownership OF the
telephone system on a national scale.
He believes the taking over OF the
lines here would be watched with
interest the country over and that
tho Government would get valuable
knowledge and experience while the
people OF Washington would get low
or rates.
II am In favor OF the Government
taking over the telephone lineh In
the District OF Columbia" said Judge
Green. II think this In probably the
best way 60 begin public ownership
OF tho telephone. i regard Reprosen-
tatlye Lewis bill as an excellent one.
"a start could be made here and tho
capability OF the Government TO con-
duct and manage telephone service
could bc tested.
II have no doubt that the Govern
ment can take over the lines In the
District and reduce the rates greatly
while giving excellent service. The
telephone system could be operated
~ an huJunct OF inc foetoUice de-
partment and the Government would
have big advantage in this way.
shsuIa wsrk Together.
The two services. the postal and
the telephone ought 90 work together
and support each other. as we'll a. the
telegraph system.-
Tho experience OF various foreign
governments and cities with tho tele-
phone and telegraph IL being studied
by Judge Green. Mr.. Lewis too. IL
going into this exhaustively.
In the matter OF the telephone
service experimenting the postal serv-
ice, Judge Green thinks Il would
tend 10 facilitate the postal service.
Tho telegraph system would do like
wise. In his opinion. 10 the Gosern-
ment owned a.
That the public ownership or the
telephone system In the National Cap
ital and tho broader proposition of
Ownership the country over IL GER
tain before long TO bscome q live
subject In Congress and out OF Il In
the belief OF Judge Green.

SPEAKERS CRITICIZE
 COUNTRY SCHOOLS
Declared to Be Menace to Health of Pupils By Delegates to the Ma
 tiOnal Educational Body

Dettoit, Feoruary 2. Rural school and child welfare methods were alternately assailed and praised today by speakers before organizations allied with the Ma tional Educational association, which are holding conferences here this week.
 Several speakers termed the ordinary rural school a menace to the health of scholars. Other educators produced stat istics in an effort to prove that grad uates of country graded schools have made a better showing In more advanced educational institutions than have stu dents from the city.
 The meetings of the national council of education were considered the most inn portant on the programme today. Seven other organizations met and discussed wide range of topics.
 Adelaide s. Baylor of Indianapolis state supervisor of home economies, speaking on race preservation, told the national council that one out of every 140 inhabitants of Indiana is an inmate of charitable or corrective institution.

ANOTHER FIGHT ON
 IMMIGRATION BILL
Imminent In House-May Still Further Complicate
 International Situation

Washington February 22.-The peren- nial immigration bill fight. with all of it's old features and some new ones that may complicate the international stua tion. is imminent in the House.
 Friends of the literacy test measure, which probably will be brought on the floor late this week, boasted today that they had enough votes to pass it over another veto by the President, which is confidently expected if the bill ever reaches him.
 Supporters of the Asiatic exclusion bills are making a determined effort tg have one of them reported, despite the pur- pose of the state department to prevent consideration of any such legislation this session. Chairman Burnett of the i'm migration committee said today he ex- pected one of these measures would he reported next week. He hopes that<either his bill or that of Representative Raker of California can be amended so as to cause the state department to withdraw opposition.
 As it probably will be reported, the Asistic exclusion measure would be with out many of the features to which the state department objects. but would re- auire both Chinese and Japanese to reg ister upon entering the United States The present sgentlemeil's agreenlent' with Japan regarding the entrance of laborers would not be disturbed.
