SENATOR CUMMINS RAPS
RAIL ADMINISTRATION
Asserts Granting of Higher Rates
Would Have Avoided Gov
ernment Expense,

Failure of the railroad administration
to establish rates that would make the
carriers Of the country reasonably self
control Is the most serious mistake
made by the railroad administration,
and is responsible for much Of the mis-
roads on the part Of the public, L. the
opinion Of Senator Cummins, chairman
Of the senate interstate commerce COM
mittee.
II think the most serious complaint
that can be made of the railroad admin
return the railroads to their owners
self-sustaining," said Senator Cummins
before the committee at the conclusion
yesterday of the testimony of julius
kruttschmitt. chairman of the board of
Southern Pacific in the railroad inquiry
1t ought to have established rates
before the railroads were returned that
would make the railroads reasonably
selt-sustaining. The failure to do that,
not only imposed upon the railroads a
most unpopular. and I think unneces-
sary duty, or at least necessity, but it
imposed upon Congress the requirement
to make the guarantee running from
March 1, 1920 to September 1, 1920.
IF the railroad administration-in
anticipation Of the increase in wages,
which it knew would come about, and in
consideration Of the existing fact that
the rates were not even then maintain
ing the properties-had Increased the
rates, as it should have done, the rail-
roads at least would not have Inherited
that very disagreeable performance, and
the guarantee that the government has
to bear now and for the six months
would not have drawn upon the Treas
ury- as It had drawn and as it must con-
tinue to draw.

yet we maintain that the nations
capital Is part of the nation and
as such should have a voice in the
direction of the nations affairs.
Purpose OF Suffrage Group.
The suffrage group is after ma
tional representation. That means
that we seek representatives in the
House in accordance with population
OF the District and that we seek one
or two senators in the Senate. We
wish also to have a chance to vote
Tor the President and Vice President
OF the United States
Al one of the principal hearings
on the Jones resolution, providing for
suffrage group had three representa- :
tlves among the five principal spokes-
men. One of the two others repre-
sented. l think. the Chamber of Com
merce and the fifth represented a
group OF other citizens"
he then made a stirring plea for
AID in the fight for national repre-
sentation, citing figures and facts
showing the case of the District. His
principal argument was that the
situation of the District is .perma-
nent one of disenfranchisement. De-
spite the fact, he maintained that the
claims are made that western states
having less population than the Dis
trict have big futures before them. he
pointed out that the District already
has outstripped the states Of Delaware
and Vermont. In the aest, in poula-
ton, and that New Hampshire is but
a few thousand ahead of the District
In growth, having at last census
$4,000 to the Districts 437.000
This shows" he concluded, "a per-
manent condition of disenfranchise-
ment of a group of Americans as
much entitled enfranchisement as
the citizens of the two states named
and of other states unnamed"

DENIES BALL RENT ACT
PUTS BAN ON BUILDING
E. E. Knott Gives Figures to Dis
prove One Of Chief Claims
of Opponents.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The truth is mighty. and any cause
that must be sustained by misrepre-
senting the facts Is not a good cause
and usually fails. Two pet argu-
ments are used against the Ball act,
namely: First, it deters building op-
erations: second, stops builders build
ing for renting, The building inspec-
tors Office of this city shows the
gross average building for the years
1914. 1915. 1916. 1917. 1918 and 1919 to
be $11.526.027 year. In 1890 the
gross was $22,65s,452. and 1921 to be
s24.500.00e
Since January 1. 1922. the pace in
dicates $30. 100000 gross for the year.
These figures surely disprove the pop
ular cry of deterring building opera
tions. AS to builders building for
renting, I have never known of it In
twelve years in the real estate busi-
ness. True, private capitalists had
quite a number of houses in older
Washington. but even that was very
limited. Builders had to rent because
they could not sell before the war.
1 am sure the genuine friends of
Washington deplore the bitter con-
flict now going on between landlords
and tenants, as 1t can't be other than
very detrimental to the city, and in
the last analysis pecuniarily unproflt-
able to realty owners.

plans were submitted to me and 1
became very much interested. They
provide for two passenger planes
costing $2,000.000 each, with
capacity of 200 persons and $4,000
pounds of freight.
1--WE expect they will negotiate
the distance between Chicago and
New York in ten hours. The rates
will be as reasonable as those on
our best transcontinental trains
today, and round trips can be made
easily in a ssingle day.
