ERNMENT OWNERSHIP. Z
Pleads With Congress to Turn
Back Property and Let
It Alone.

Washington, Jan. 22.-(Special.1~ -
Edward Reynolds, president and
general manager of the Postal Tele-
graph Gable company, appeared be-
fore the postoffice committee of thu
house of representatives today at q
public hearing on the Moon resoii-
tion extending indefinitely the tint
during which the government can re-
tain possession of the telegraph, tele-
phone and cable lines.

rates. but that the Postal company
had refused. He also said that thu
Postal company, which already gives
a long distance telephone service.
particularly in the south and west.
was opposed to increasing its tele-
phone rates.
Mr.. Reynolds main argument was
that the government Is losing money
by retaining possession of the tele-
phone and telegraph companies and
that they should be returned to the
and also to have any proposed in
creases in rates passed upon first
by the state commissions as they
should be. He pointed out that taxes
are already very high and should not
be increased by the government as
suming unnecessary deficits. So far
as the telegraph lines are concerned,
Mr.. Reynolds said he had not heard
any reason why the government
should retain them except to carry
out Mr.. Burleson's schemes of gov
ernment ownership or Mr.. Wallis plan
of a huge monopoly of all wire COM
munication. He said that the Postal
company has no intention of increas-
ing rates If the lines are turned back
and government interference ceases.
He particularly urged that the COM

Mr.. Burleson has obliged the govern
ment to pay the various telephone
and telegraph companies in the way
of compensation, and also just what
profit these companies are making at
the present time so that the commit
tee might have full information as to

He said he believed that the figures
would show a large deficit which
ought to be stopped at once by turn

said the Postal company does net ask

government and is confident that il
can give successful competition fll
