U.S.. OWNERSHIP OF

W. ]. Bryan Thinks Plan

BY the United Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6--Restriction
Of government ownership OF railroads
TO main trunk lines that will reach all
parts Of the country was advocated by
William ]. Bgyan before the harbors
and rivers congress here today.
Bryan believes such plan would give
every State an outlet for its products
without prejudice and by competition
would regulate rates all over the coun-
try.
''Such a system woulc effectively
regulate interstate commerce." Bryan
said, ''and vet would cost but a small
sum compared with the Nationalist
tion Of all railroads. With a bonded
debt OF sixteen billions, which may rise
to twenty-five billions the people would
hardly be willing to add twenty billions
more 10 pay for all the railroads. The
system ] propose would also meet the
objections made TO the establishment OF
a gigantic bureau at Washington with
its political possibilities.
This plan with all the government
trunk lines open, would make every
State Independent In regard 10 the
roads within It's borders. The govern
ment can easily enter into this partial
naturalization by appointing a COM
mittee TO investigate its advissbillty
and reporting before the time for the
