Standard Return Item.

Another feature of the bill against
which Mr.. Sanders protested is that
known as the STANDARD return pro-
vision, guaranteeing n fixed return on
the investment to the roads for a
period of six months after the passage
Of the act. Under the provisions of this
bill the road that makes more than
the guaranteed standard return may
place the excess in its treasury, but
the poorer road, the railroad that does
not make the standard return, may
present its voucher to the government,
which will make up it's loss,
Can you beat IT, asked Mr.. San
ders. Can you justify it? Here is a
railroad that makes 80 per cent. That
Is fine business. They take that and
put it in their pockets. Here is an
other that makes less than the stand
ard return, and we say, that Is all
right, we will make 1t up out Of the
pockets of our taxpayers What J
contended for in the committee and
what l contend for here is that If you
are going to project this standard re-
turn for six months after the passage
of this act, there is but one fair and
just way Of doing 1t. Do not exempt
the prosperous and take in only the
poor, Take them all in for six months,
just as you did under the federal con
troll act. Let the government get the
advantage OF what the flch roads are
going to make. as the government vii
have to make up the deficit Of the poor
road, There Is not a line In the pro
| visions hat l have discussed that is
| placed there for the benefit Of anybody
In the world except the great trans
p~ortation systems of America,
"And if this bill becomes a law. you
put the transportation facilities OF
America forever under the domination
| Of these great railroads. As far as I
am concerned, I never will vote for a
| bill I am honestly and sincerely con-
WINGED means that, and nothing but
that. Transportation is the greatest
question we have to solve. We must
solve it; we will solve it sometime"

In the daily press are more often
apt to prove merely developments or
improvements along weIl-known lines,
and it is in that class that the recent
tree aerial tests at Washington fall.
As far back as 1907, experiments were
carried out in which trees were en-
ployed as aerials. In the recent tests
messages were received over quite a
distance by means of tree aerials. 1t
was also pointed out that messages
could be transmitted through the
agency Of tree aeriaIs over short dis
tances. However, in view Of the re-
markably sensitive receiving apparatus
available today. the use of tree aerials
is no more remarkable than it was
back in 1907, with the relatively crude
instruments Of that Scientific
