a resolution endorsing the proposition
Of a League Of Nations. Such a resOlu-
ton will be introduced later.

constituents, will also introduce a bill
changing the school term for his
county. The present law provides for
a term beginning In September and end
e ing in April. The bill will make II from
october 10 May.

ihis morning and consulted with sew
eral members Of the two houses rela-
tive to proposed legislation.

CONGRESS HOPES TO
SOLVE QUESTION
By the United Press.

By the United Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. q. 80 Senator
Cummins. Iowa, today introduced a
bill to take away President Wilson's
power to turn the railroads back TO
their private owners at any time he
sees at.
The measure provides that govern
ment control shall last for q months
after the proclamation Of peace, un-
less Congress directs otherwise. In the
railroad control law the President was
made the judge Of the length OF time
the government should retain the roads
with the provisions that the period
should not exceed 2i months after the
end OF the war.
Cummins' bill is intended to give Con-
gress time TO work out solution OF
the railroad problem. IL has become
apparent that nothing can be done at
this session. The President was pre-
pared to turn the lines back on July 1.
