WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 5.-Mem-
bers Of the House of Representatives
should not be compelled to worry about
an election every two years, according
to Representative Kline of Pennsylvania.
who proposed in a resolution introduced
yesterday to amend the Constitution to
extend the period Of a term TO four years.
Recurrence OF an election every two
years keeps the members OF the House
too busy preparing to be reelected, Mr..
Kline, who is serving his first term, said.
1t occupies much OF their energy which
in his opinion, would otherwise be spent
in performing their duties as Representa-
tives.
Another advantage in such an amend
ment, according TO Mr. Kline, Is that the
President would then be reasonably as
suIed Of having Congress In harmony
with him. politically, at least. Thus. he
said, would be avoided a deadlock such
rs occurred during the last adni;n'stra-
tiou with opposite parties in control Of
the two branches Of Congress.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 5.-Nearly $780,

railroads has been begun and projected
In the past fifteen months, 1t is shown

I'll thus give a clear Indication that
railroad managers and directors are Op-
timistic concerning the business outlook.
Extending lines and building new lines
into untouched territory, they are reach
ing out for business of the next year or
two. The new lines planned and I'M

productions and general manufactured
commodities. Many extensions to tap coal
country are being laid down.
MUST FIRST
GET CERTIFICATE.
The data showing the projected build
ing are included in those files Of the
commission dealing with certificates of
public convenience and necessity. Under
the transportation jaw no road may
undertake the building of q new line
without first satisfying the commission
of it's necessity.
With the application, the building
carrier must submit a schedule showing
the length of the proposed new line, It's
estimated gross and net revenue and a
description of tonnage expected. When
the commission becomes satisfied the
new line is needed, It issues authority TO
the road to proceed under what is termed

The transportation law became efrec
tive in June 1920. Since that time, the
commission has issued twenty-three
certificates. Six applications for certin-
Gates now are pending.
500 MILES
CALLED FOR.
The certificates issued call for the con-
struction of nearly 800 miles of new lines.
Some are very short, being only five
miles In length. Others include 100 miles
Of new trackage. In general, the shorter
lines are most important, since they
usually represent connections between
main lines to speed up the handling OF

It is estimated the now lines will pay

Of Mr.. Shank in the many and conflict

DYEPATENTFIRM
MEETS CRITICISM
ATQUlzN SENATE
Finance Committee Turns
On Chemical FOunda-
ton Company.

The Chemical Foundation Com
pany, holder of 4,904 former German
patent, which. with certain trade
marks, it acquired from the alien
property custodian, was investigat-
ed yesterday by the Senate Finance
Committee.
Joseph H. Choate, jr.. attorney for
the company and Washington rep
resentative of the American Dye In
stitute, appeared before the COM
mittee and urged that a dyestuffs
embargo be included in the Fordney
tariff bill.
Senator, La Toilette, Republican,
Of Wisconsin. a member of the COM
mittee, and Senator Moses, Republ-
can, of New Hampshire, who has
been leading the fight in the Senate
against the dyestuffs lobby in the
Caffpitol, questioned him at length
concerning the operations of the
company. Senator Moses was call
ed in to assist in questioning the
witnesses, although not member
of the Finance Committee.
Only Makes 9 Per Cent.
Choate declared the Chemical
Foundation Company Is not making
an exorbitant profit. Its contract
with the Federal government, he
asserted, limits it to a profit of 6
per cent, which, he said, 1t makes
through licensing the patents 1t
holds to dye manufacturers.
The committee did not touch
upon the actual sale of the patents
to the company. A resolution for
an investigation Of the sale now Is
pending in the House. The resolu-
ton charges that Francis p. Gar
van and his associates. including
Choate, while they were assistants
to the Alien Property Custodian.
organized the Chemical Foundation
Company and sold the patents to
themselves for S250000, when they
were worth more than $10,000.e00.
Got SIS, 600 Fee.
Asked by Senator La Toilette IL
he. was not paid a large salary to
remain in Washington and try to
secure adoption Of dyestuffs en-
barge by Congress. Choate denied
that he was lobbying. -.
