NJ 'ADOO HAS SCANT
RESPECT FOR BOARDS
PRFERS RAILROADS IN HANDS OF
PRESIDENT RATHER THAN
COMMISSIONS.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Kellogg
yesterday asked Mr. McAdoo if he be
Ieved the power to fix railroad rates
should be taken from the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the state
commissions.
81 think when the president takes
over the roads as a war measure, it is
unwise to have anything that he cannot
control" Mr. McAdoo replied "If l
had TO make application to the state
commissions every time I wanted to fix
a demurraEe or a new rate, it would de-
stroy the effectiveness Of the whole gov
ernment control"
In regard to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, Mr. McAdoo said;
Il do not desire to express any lack
Of confidence in any board or commits
sion, but | feel that / would rather place
in the control Of any president, no mat
ter who ne may be the right to control
railroads than in any board or commits

organization of a countrywide club for
Carter county, to be known as Club
No. / of the Statewide Murray for Gov
ernor club, and also OF a like organiza-
ton in Ada for Pontotoc county the
question was put so strongly up to the
former congressman, Murray, that he
was obliged to indicate the course he
would pursue and, in reply to the direN
question, he said:
my friends have carried the matter
to such an extent that it would be COW
ardice for me to refuse. Just as soon
as I can complete needed improvements
on my farm and when can put my en-
tire mind, nerve and sinew into the sub.
