Railroad Spokesman Says New

Unless Reassured BY

Increase their facilities to handle the
3ountry's growing commerce, Alfred p.
Thom, counsel for the railroad execu-
tives' advisory committee. told the con-
g~ressiOnal railroad investigating COM
mittee today continuing his statement
on behalf of the railroads begun yester-
lay. About $4,000 900 year additional
will be required, he said, to refund ma
turing indebtedness.
To protect investors, Mr.. Thorn sug-
gested that federal regulation should
replace the present system of authority
divided between the states II the
central government. He cited examples
Of injustice n hampering of railorad
financing caused by state officers.
Referring to the need Of additional
railroad facilities, MI. Thorn said:
1T has been Jul that the wealth
of the country a been increasing at
the rate of 8 OF 9 per cent a year, and
HI the same ratio Of Increase has held
good as to the emand for transporter
ton. AS the forces which have affected
the growth and development of the past
apparently continue in full operation
and may be expected to continue for
the next 10 or Is years at least, the in
vestment in railroad facilities to meet
the large requirements Of the future
must consequently grow at a cores
ponding annual rate of increase"
The estimate of 81, $50, 000, 900 for adj
ditional transportation facilities in
cludes nothing for extensions into new
territory, he said.
where is this none or any sum ap
preaching it to be found??" asked Mr..
Thorn. This problem is one of vital
interest to the public because on its
successful solution. depends the com
mercial facilities Of the country. Would
it do to confront the investor, when
situation where the revenues of the
railroads are not subject to the control
of the investors. but are liked and
limited not only by governmental au-
thority but by many uncoordinated
state authorities in no way responsible
to each other, and where the rail-
roads cannot control and the govern
ment cannot and does not limit the
expense account?"

PRESIDENT
WILL NOT OPPOSE

Information President Will
Not Oppose Restrictive
Legislation.
WOULD REDEEM PLEDGES
Deemed Politically Advisable to
Keep Promise to Enforce

Cost of Living.
WOULD REDEEM PLEDGES

Washington. ID. c.. Nrv. .5-.'oday's
New York SUI says it has reliable in
formation that the president will give
tac!t consent for foodstutfs embargo
legislation md viii, not oppose the plan
of Representative Fitzgerald for an
embargo.
1t is said that the administration
cost Of living kept.
The fact that Secretary Lansing
sai6 he state department woul not
interpose objections. is looked on Al
significant.
Several days ago President Wilson.
in addressing u convention Of tho
grange, intimated that he was opposed
to an embargo on food. He also took
the position that as long as America
had food to spare at all. humanity at
large had just claim to share it.
Mr.. Lansina's View.
The first intimation that the govern
ment would not oppose the food m
barge came yesterday from the state
department, Secretary Lansing declar-
Ing that the f%orbidding of food exports
was not an international matter and
that as long as other countries had
States right to impose similar restric-
lions as a measure of domestic neces-
city would not we'll be questioned.

committee. has announced hat he will
press an embargo. resolution for hear
Ing When congress reconyenes In De-
celmber
A hard fight on the question Is ex-
pected. Representatives from the farm
ing regions are expected to fight the
resolution. though not as bitterly al
might he expected. 1t liz pointed out
here that the farmers already have sold
the bulk of their 1916 crops and that
the only interests that might be ad-
versely affected by nn embargo on ex-
ports would be the commission dealers
end middle men who rave purchased
supplies at the present range OF prices.
WAGE Raise Not Adequate.
The cost OF living situation is grow
ing acute and both congressman and
government officials realize that some
restrictive measures are necessary.
Though the country is prosperous and
labor generally Well employed at high
er wages than ever before, 1t Is patent
that the increase in the pay envelope
has not kept step the past few months
with the advance in commodity prices.
Petitions for relief, bearing thousands
Of names. are expected to pour In upon
congress when il rcconvenes this
month.
Won't Oppose 1t.
White House officials threw cold
water on reports the president would
support Il food embargo, but did not
make formal denial. The belief here is
that the president will not back a food
embargo but that he may hold aloof
from Interfering with congressional
action and take u passive attitude at
least for a time.

The necessity OF placing an embargo,
as far as our international trade agree

Wilson and congress by the resolution.

was the mobilization of labor, the min

of employment which prevailed at the
beginning of war, there was now q
positive lack OF labor. especially in the
