COMBINE RAILWAYS,
SAYS Mr.. CUMMINS
Declares Consolidation Under Private
Ownership Is Only Solution
of Problem.

"There Is only one solution TO the rail-
gress are now engaged in debating, ano
that is a consolidation of all the railways
of this country under private ownership
Senator Albert s. Cummins told members
OF the New York Bar Association at theii
weekly smoker last night.
1.-THE alternative is consolidation undei
government owncrship-and a consolida'
ton is what government ownership
means" he said.
''There never has been a serious division
in Congress on the advisability and equit,
of returning the railways TO private own
ership And in the opinion OF all whom
have heard discuss the point, 1t woult
he idle to return the roads under any con
ditions other than those which would Sc
cure their future success in finances ano
efficiency Congress Is in disagreement
over the methods to be pursued. and aftel
two months daily sessions OF the two
boards. is not yet reconciled to common
ground.
reconsideration OF the railroad problem
is impossible without an understanding
of the two main factors, the physical ane
the financial"
He then described the extent of the rail-
way systems of the country, and theil
financial condition when they were taker
over by the Recommendations ht
said no one yet knows what the railroads
were worth, and it will not be known foi
probably two years, at which time he saic
he expected the Interstate Commerce
Commission would finish it's wrk of valua
tion begun in 1918.
He summed up the financial condition
OF the road after two years OF Govern
ment control and quoted the Railroad Ad
ministration as concedng that the loss
for two years is $3.50 100000.
The railroads are indebted to the govern
ment and to hteir owners in sum muci
greater than they can be expected to re-
pay for considerable period of time, he
explained. and it is agreed that somethine
must be done to afford them relief. The
railways must have inome not only to pay
the interest on their debts and to pay rea-
sonable returns to their stockholders, but
incomes sufficient to make the public in
vest in them.
And the real problem. he said. lies in the
utter impossbilty. under the present sys'
tenn. of giving enough to some railroads
without too much to others. He was not
pessimstic, he said, and somewhere In
the United States probably among New
York lawyers who had consolidated every
thing else under the sur-some one mus,
have an adequate solution. Without that
solution the railroads must be returned IN
a condition and under circumstances that
can end in nothing but failure.

WOODS NAME TO GO
7, ON OHIO BALLOTS
General Will Contest with
Senator Harding for Repub-
lican Delegates.
MANY IN INDIANA RACE
Five Candidates at Least Expected to
Seek Votes Since Goodrich Boom
Has Exploded.

The submission of the name OF Major
General Leonard Wood to the Republican
voters of Ohio to determine in the primary
election whether he or Senator Warren
@. Harding is the choice OF the majority Of
the Republicans OF that State will be the
method employed there, according to a
statement made yesterday by Colonel
William Cooper Proctor, chairman OF the
Leonard Wood Campaign Committee.
Ohio is the home state OF both Senator
Harding and Colonel Proctor. Under the
ohio law candidates for delegates to a
national convention must state their ffirst
and second choices for President This is
printed on the ballot Immediately below
the name Of each candidate. who is re-
duircd to- pledge himself to support the
popular choice. The primaries in Ohio
Will be held on April q. In his statement
Colonel Proctor said
1T has always been demonstrated that
candidates forced upon party conventions
over the i'll of the people meet their
Waterloo in November Therefore, when
ever the laws or customs make II possible
Republican leaders should inform them
selves Of the judgments of the rank and
file Of the party
AS Senator Harding so aptly puts il.
let us invoke the real preference by an
expression OF Republican voters at the
primary polls. The favorite son method of
controlling national conventions is not in
accord with the spirit of the times, and, in
my opinion, the men and women that
constitute the Republican party will relish
the opportunity to Indicate a choice to the
party leaders. Senator Harding has stated
the case by saying with frankness suit
able to the occasion, I do not wish q
delegation favorable to me unless my can
didacy Is genuine and cordial prefer
ence OF the Ohio Republicans
For these .cogent reasons and in
furtherance of the good of the Republican
party. which we believe to be the good
or the nation, we will not enter q general
contest for delegates in Ohio, but will
submit the name of Leonard Wood to the
rank and file Of the party in the pri-
'maries."
Representative Norman ]. Gould. the
Eastern Wood campaign manager, inti-
mated in talk at his headquarters at the
Hotel Imperial that contests would be
made for Wood delegates in Massa chu-
sets and Indiana. where the retirement
of Governor Calvin Coolidge and Gov
ernor James y. Goodrich, respectively.
from the Presidential race has left the
way clear
Massachusetts is the State in which
General Wood has his residence and there
is believed to be strong sentiment for
him there.
AS the result Of the withdrawal OF Gov
ernor Goodrich, there Is likely to be a
hard contest for delegates in Indiana. II
is expected that not only General Wood
but Governor Frank .. Lowden. OF
Illinois; Senator Harding. Senator Hiram
w. Johnson, of California. and Senator
Miles Poindexter, of Washington, will go
into the fight in that State.
