BRYAN URGES DUAL
CONTROL OF ROADS

William Jennings Bryan today
chucked into the discard his hobby
Of three decades for outright Federal
ownership of railroads, and adopted
the theory that the best interests of
the people will be subserved through
dual ownership of the carriers by the
Government and private interests.
Mr.. Bryan, one of the principal
speakers at tOday's session of the Riv-
ers and HarboTs Congress, rather
startled the large audience of bust
ness and financial leaders, by assert
ing that naturalization of the rail-
roads would not be justified now, be-
cause with the present staggering war
bills, purchase of the roads would
burden the taxpayers of the country
too heavily.
Mr.. Bryan launched into denuncia-
ton of the railroad "barons' as he de-
scribed them,- deplored the way in
which the American people have been
corruption in politics, but war, he
said, had changed the aspect of the
problem, and the dual" plan he
recommended as one least burden
some to the people.
with a bonded debt Of S16,000.000,-
600, which we are informed may rise
to. $25, 900, 100000 before the armies
are demobilized and the war bills
have been paid, the people will hard
~ be willing to add $4,000, 100000
more in order to pay for the rail-
roads, Mr.. Bryan said. ITO my mind
the plan most easily presented and
defended is a dual plan in which the
Federal Government will own and
operate. not the entire railroad sys-
TEN of the country, but only a trunk
line system sufficient to give every
State an outlet for its products ana
an inlet for its purchases.
'If the dual plan is adopted the
Government can, in a short time, put
into operation a trunk line system
which will make each State indie
pendent in regard to railroads within
it's own borders, because whether
these roads be long or short, they can
find an outlet into the national sys-
ten, and the States can put the sys-
tenn Of Government ownership into
operation as rapidly as public sent-
ment is ready, exercising in the
meantime a complete control over in
tfastate traffic"

plans under way.
Many say they are against the old
practice Of giving the committee
charmanships to the oldest member
on the majority side, but SO. far no
one has appeared who Is willing to
lead a fight against the system.
One Republican, Congressman
Cooper Of Ohio. has recently come out
against the seniority rule.
