cations municipalities and other outside

Asks Solution From Congress.
In presenting the memorial, Mr..
Warf1eld said its signers did not ask
"the continuation of autocratic rail-
road methods of the past. but a Just
and definite solution by the Congress
of the most important problem now
before the country"
Urging favorable consideration by
Congress Of the remedial legislation
proposed in the Warfield plan, the me-
mortal declared:
ut is our conviction that the railroads
cannot avoid destruction and eventual
governmental absorption without a pri-
mary distributable return Of not less
than per cent assured upon the aggre-
gate investment. not through a govern
mental guarantee, but through the ex-
efclse by Congress of its duty to stop,
by act, the knife of regulation short Of
the heart of the transportation system
Of the United States.
Commissions Power Limited.
The responsibility for the existing
system and the duty of conserving
transportation in America rests exclu-
sively upon Congress. The Interstate
Commerce Commission has not the
power. and cannot. consistently with
the Constitution, be charged with the
responsibility Of determining funda-
mental questions Of public policy We
appeal to this Congress to discharge it's
duty by the only possible method. The
first requisite is q mandatory declara-
ton that the power of regulation shall
not be employed SO as to depress net
operating income below the level which
experience has shown to be necessary
to sustain the carriers.
'"The legislation proposed is based
upon the necessity that Congress shall
by law recognize a minimum percentage
return on the aggregate investment as
a necessary Limitation upon its delega-
tfon of rate-making power to the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. and shall
by law enable that commission to COM
ply with the duty to conserve transpor-
tation in America
