BORAH MOVES FOR
FEDERAL RAILWAYS
Seeks Inquiry by Congress
Into Feasibility Of Govern
ment Ownership.

WAsHISGroS, Jan. 24.-An inquiry
into the feasibility OF Government
ownership of common carriers was pro-
Borah of Idaho in the form of an
amendment to Senator Newlands's rcso-
luton providing for appointment OF a
joint o sressional commission to in
,estigate the transportation situation.
In opposing the enlargement OF the
scope OF the proposed inquiry Senator
Newlands said that the policy OF rate
regulation was not OF trial.
senator Townsend OF Michigan at
trihuted many troubles of the Interstate
Commerce Commission TO the fact that
it had been burdened beyond Its capac-
ity with Investigations and other work
demanded by Congress. He charged
that the commission had yielded to en-
ecutive influence in the 8 per cent. rate
case, and that examiners who did much
o. its work were forced on II by high
political influence" The Michigan Sen-
ator hoped that this phase of the admin
istration of he commerce law be In
vestigated by m commission that may
be appointed.
Senator Newlands mentioned tina until
the war had stimulated business the
transportation Interests had suffered
much.
NO period in the history OF trans
portation for the last twenty years" he
said, has been more serious 80 far as
the problems OF finance are concerned
He insisted, however. that much OF the
trouble encountered by the railroads was
due to the fact that their own appeals
for more considerable treatment at the
hands of the commission had ala rmed
stockholders and made II necessary for
them To issue short term not ~ to meet
