Third-The buildings most always
are Of very combustible construction
with no provision for arresting the
spread of the flames from floor to

Much OF this loss could be pre-

can be done at a small percentage Of

CUMM|NS URGES
RAIL MERGERS
Opposes Repeating Railroad
Law as Solution of High
Rates Problem.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DES MONIES, Iowa. April IL
Consolidation of the railroads of the
United States into a comparative
few systems SO that operating ex-
penses may be cut to a minimum, and
not the repeal of parts or all of the
Esch- -Cummins transportation act, is
the solution of the problem of high
rates suggested by Senator Albert B.,
Cummins. senior senator from Iowa.
in an address today before joint
session of the Iowa Legislature.
The transportation act, Senator
Cummins said. was passed to meet an
acute necessity and was framed in
accordance with the Constitution and
the Supreme Court decisions.
The disputed section of the trans
portation act, Senator Cummins said
had strengthened the credits of the
weaker railroad properties and en4
present rates probably would be
higher.
The present valuation of the railroad
properties of $i9.000,000,000 was ar
rived at after a long and careful in
VeStgation, the senator said. 1t had
been said. the speaker continued, that
in early days of the railroads there
was a vast amount of watered stock
and bonds issued, which. he said, was
unquestionably true, and that "it was
a wicked and vicious thing to do add
ing:
But in some way or other the
railroad companies built and equip1
ped 26,500 miles of railway, and the
Supreme Court has said that it is the
