Delving into history, he told of the

Senator Simmons Sees Rail
Legislation Dominant Issue
at Next Session.

Transportation legislation will be a
dominant issue in the next Congress-
in the opinion of Senator Simmons of
North Carolina, who returned to the
capital yesterday after an absence last
ing from midwinter. due to i'll health.
In the opinion Of the North Caro-
lima senator. 1T Is vitality necessary
for the development Of the country
and the well being of the agricultural
and manufacturing interests to bring
about reduction in the present high
rates for transportation on the rail-
roads.
With these rates prohibitive in
many instances, particularly on the
bulky produce of the farmers, it is
impossible for the country to con-
tinue with it's development as II
should" said Senator Simmons. az

again legislation dealing with the
railroads will occupy much of the

In reply to question, Senator
Simmons said he considered the pros
poets Of the democratic party in the

ly rosy. He indicated that so far
there has been no capitalization of
sentiment among the democrats as

he found the law becoming more and
more unpopular, and added that he
believed the tariff had had much to
do with republican reverses in the
elections last November.
Doubts Tariff CHANGES.
"The tariff law has brought the
results we predicted while it was
under considerations said Senator
Simmons. "It has resulted in higher
prices for many staple articles that
the people must have, for instance,
sugar and wooden goods The
people are restive under these higher
prices"
Senator Simmons, who Is ranking
democratic member of the Senate
finance committee and one Of the au-
thors of the Simmons-U Underwood
tariff law. the last democratic tariff
act, said he did not believe there
would be any tariff or tax legisIa-
tion in the next session of Congress-
because the republicans. who would
still control Senate and House by
narrow margins. would not advance
any bills for such purposes. If the
democrats were given an opportunity
however, he said. they would support
measures increasing the income tax

big incomes, which were lowered by
the republicans in their last revenue
act.

ARMY AIR SERVICE
HAULING FREIGHT

Experiments In freight hauling by
airplanes. which have been conducted
by the Army air service. were said in
an official statement issued yesterday to
furnish ample evidence as to what
the Army air service is doing with
reference to freighting it's own sup
plies in military planes which are
not built for freight carrying"
An illustration of hauling freight
over long distances at a cost less
than would have been incurred had
the movement been by rail was con-
tanned in the statement.
Travel Cost Contr..ted.
Some months ago. when the air
service troops al Ellington Field,
Houston. Tex, were transferred to
Selfridge Field, in Michigan. a dis
tance of 1000 miles," it said, "prac-
tically all of the personnel travelled
to their new station by airpIane. The
estimated at $6.44s, less than 1t would
have cost the government had the
movement been by rail"
1t also was shown that the Middle
town. Pa. air intermediate depot had
moved 10000 pounds of freight by
aid from that point to various other
air service stations These ship
ments consisted of spare parts for
airplanes and engines, clothing and
miscellaneous stores.
Service Economical. Is Claim.
Very often. whenever it is found
necessary to transfer officers and en-
listed men from one station to an
other. some of them as far apart as
500 miles or more" the statement
added. "the airplane furnishes an
economical and rapid means of trans.
portation.''
While the United States has not
yet developed transportation for
freight by commercial airplane agen-
cies to the point reached in England
France and the Netherlands, the
statement said, "it would seem that
using commercial planes Of suitable
types. the transportation of freight
via the aerial route presents unlim-
ited commercial possibilities"
