TRACTION
MEASURE
CALLED UP
BY F0CHT
Calls 1t Most Important
Piece of District n
Legislation.

The House today began cOnsid-
Grafton of the Woods bill, provid-
ing for consolidation of the rail-
way companies of Washington. De-
bate will be limited to three
hours, and a vote is expected to
be taken before the House ad-
jou-ns tonight.
Congressman Focht, chairman
of the House District Committee,
is leading the proponents of the
act. Congressman Blanton OF
Texas and several others are OPP
posing the measure.
Focht Argues for Bill.
This is one of the most important
bills the committee will present to the
House in many months" declared
Focht. Members OF the District
Committee have spent many hours
during the last few months in framing
this measure and we believe we now
have a solution 10 Washington's rail
way problem.
Street railways all over the country
are facing bankruptcy. Fares are sky
high. 1t is high time something was
done in Washington. Under this bill
the taxes of the railway companies
will he reduced considerably and the
ultimate result will be a merger and
| lower fares.
Sentiment in the House appears to
be in favor of the bill, and Its pas
sage is expected.
In addition to Mr.. Focht, Congress.
men Woods of Virginia and Zihlman
Of Maryland will speak in favor OF
the measure. Mr.. Woods Is author
of the bill and Zihlman is chairman
of the subcommittee ON railways or
| the District Committee.
Blanton Fighting Measure.
Congressman Blanton is prepared
to make a lengthy fight against the
act. He gave notice this morning
that he will make every move neces.
sary to bring about defeat of the
bill.
Under the bill, authority Is given
to the Capital Traction Company, the
w. r. and E.. and the p. e. p. Co.
to consolidate. However, the bill
I provinces Lnht merger Oi hnt FaiWaN
companies must come before the cleo
trio company is permitted to come In.
The tax feature. probably the prin-
cipal part of the bill, is put in the
measure to retudce the expenses of
the companies with a View to lower
fares as the ultimate result.
The tax now imposed on the street
railway companies for maintenance OF
crossing policemen is repealed by the
bill as this section saves the two rail
way companies more than $4,000 a
year, of which the Washington Rail
way and Electric Company win save
about s45, ,00O the rest by the Capital
Traction Company.
