Cummins Bill
Amended
MEASURE HARMFUL
TO THIS STATE
South Carolina Senator Argues
Against Too Rigid Check on
Development

Washington, Dec. 18.-Senator z.
D. Smith, ranking Democratic mem
ber Of the senate committee On inter
state commerce, and its former chair
man, made an extended speech today
in support Of an amendment which
he has proposed, striking out Of the
pending railroad bill the section pro-
htbiting railroads subject to the legis-
lation from extending their lines or
constructing new lines without per-
mission from the. board OF transport
tation.
The South Carolina senator declar77
ed tAat the greatest need Of the
country today is adequate railroad ia
cilities, which are enjoyed at present
only by the East and Northeast. He
favored giving the Interstate Com
merce Commission and their feder-
al tribunals proper restriction and
supervisory rights over the use of
capital in the railroad field, but held
that it would be wrong to forbid any
community to build or extend a road
without the CONSENT Of some federal
authority. The senator said that the
people Of the South and West, where
there was a condition of arrested de-
velopment, were better judges OF
whether a road was needed than
would be political board, composed
Of three of one party and two of the
other.
Senator Smith said that. il necess-
sary, the new roads built during. their
period of development should be given
.cneciat rates; otherwise they could
not compete with the older roads,
which might say to the mercbaafs::l

era! licensing Of construction Of roads
Senator Smith pointed out the case OF
Santee-Cooper canal in South Car
Dina. Here, he said, was an enter
prise to be built by private capital,
not costing the government a penny,
and which would connect interior
points with port terminals ;. besides
furnishing 15,000horse power by hy-:5
dro-electric methods. The Santee
river, from which the water would
flow, is navigable stream, and hence
comes under federal supervision. The
project is held up by the water power
bill, which has been pending for;
many years. and the senator said that.
while he could probably: get: an act
through granting permission to dig,
this canal, the threat of impending.
legislation would be deterrent to in-S
vestors. 1t would be the threat of all
ways impending legislation which
would act as deterrent in the con-
struction of railroads.
