never be realized by competitive
roads.
Unity Of Purpose Vital
There must be an absolute unity
OF purpose" said johnson. land with
and naturalization are utterly impOs-
sible. The conclusion, therefore, is
irresistible-that we must ultimately
do in time OF peace what we have
been driven to do by stress in time
of war. and the logical outcome is,
OF course, Government ownership
Senator johnson assailed the pres
ent Administration railroad bill as al
lowing Excessive compensation" to
the railroads. He opposed the plan
OF fixing q time limit In which the
property shall be held. The measure
provides that the roads shall be re-
turned to their owners eighteen
months after the conclusion OF the
war. In effect ait ties our hands"
Johnson pleaded.
Reviewing the history OF his night
against the Southern Pacific in Cali
fornia, johnson sought TO show how
under private management thee idea
prevailed that "the railroad was de-
signed solely for the purpose OF pay
ing dividends TO its owners"
Political Life Corrupted.
To this end, johnson said, rail
roads got control OF State govern
mentS, made the livelihoods OF entire
communities dependent on railroad
support in elections, and generally
corrupted political life.
We have paid the price OF prl-
waite ownership in millions OF acres
OF our best farm lands, in our for
ests, In our coal deposits, our lands
gushing with OIL" the Senator said.
We've paid the price in building up
over night fabulous fortunes, used
for the undoing OF the State. We've
paid in handicapping our own people.
in distorting our public and private
economy. in corrupting our political
life, and in tainting the very foun-
tain head of justice"
johnson attacked the compensation
OF the railroads on a basis OF their
earnings OF the past three years on
the ground that II was giving the
roads a maximum compensation
while demanding OF the American
soldier and the purchaser OF Liberty
bonds the maximum sacrifice. He
wanted to know IL such discrimina-
ton was just.

SAYS SOLON
Hiram Johnson Criticises CON-
penSation Plan of Admins
tration and Declares Country
Has Been BIed Long.

In speech that carried the fight
10 the opponents Of Government
ownership of railroads. Senator
Hiram johnson of California today
declared in the Senate that:
The nation is marching straight
to the goal of public ownership, and
. the people at last will come into
their own"
Treated Too Generously.
Casting aside the pretenses and
shams. behind which he said private
railroad management has made It's
plea for life, Johnson demanded why
the railroads should be paid so much
under Government control while
american soldiers and Liberty bond
buyers are called on to make sacri.
fees.
II wish to record my condemnation
OF the too generous treatment of the
railroads of the country at the ex-
pense OF the taxpayers" he said. BE
cause Of the crisis" he declared, lit
is indefensible."
To the plea that politics would
play an important and injurious part
in the management of the roads, "
johnson replied. "I'll risk any kind
of politics under Government owner
ship rather than the politics 1 have
seen under private ownership"
Would Take Next Step.
The Californian pounded home his
SIedgehsmmer arguments with char:
acteristIc vigor and punch, in the
. most important speech he has de-
lIvered since coming to the Senate.
Il would now take the inevitable
next step in Government control OF
our railroads, and do whatever
might be essential to make that Gov
eminent control permanent Govern
ment ownership, or at least leave
the way open so that Immediately
upon the termination OF the war we
might follow to its logical conclusion
what already we have done" Johnson
said.
After some months of useless and
impotent endeavOr the railroad men,
as well as others, realized that under
the system existing in our country.
neither service nor efficiency could
be Accorded in this crisis"
The great trunk lines must be ma
1ionalized, he said, and there must
be one central directing power. Such
naturalization, he declared, would

ORDER C|vESLIE TO CLAIM MADE BY THE GERMANS
Contradicts the Claim that Evacuation of Marne Is Part of a Set Pro-
 fram of Huns.

WITH THE BRITISH, July 25.-- An order given by Gen. von Boehm, he German commander of the Sev' enth Army, who is bearing the weight of Gen. Foch's offensive in he West, gives the lie to the Ger man claims that the retirement of the German forces from the Marne was part of a set program.
 By the order given by the Ger man commander he deplored the lack of discipline which resulted in soldiers pillaging stores in the rear of the advance made in May, and thus preventing their distribution among the hungry troops.
 This order, the same as others indicates that discipline is in bad way on the Western front among the German forces.
