In the liquor discussion, Capt.
Morris Collins, of No. z police

BY JOHN E. TAYLOR

Arlington county-Virginia's
Ebaby county"-was the first to
reform its county government and
now some of its leading citizens
are urging the adoption OF the
county consultations, suggested
in this series by The Washington
Times.
Civic leaders there force d
county officials to save taxpayers
approximately 100000 recently
and the obvious savings to be
gained under county consolida-
tions appeal to them.
These countians are tired OF
paying heavy State taxes plus
their county taxes to support a
county government Of their own
and to aid in supporting some
other county which is nowhere
near Arlington in ability to pay
Its way.
HOSmer Led Fight
Emery H. HoSmer IS president
of the Arlington County Bar Asso-
citation and is, of course, a prom
1nent attorney in the county. He
was chairman of the special COM
mittee of the association which
led the fight to enforce economy
on county officials, reduction Of
their salaries, general reasseSs-
ment and equalization of real
estate tax assessments, and re-
duction in public utility rates in
the county.
In a statement today, Mr.. Hos
Mer said:
"The series Of articles ON
county government in Virginia,
being published in The Wash
ingtOn Times, are Of incalcu-
able value in arOusing public
opinion of Statewide proper
tiOns to compel material changes
for the better in the Virginia
system of county government.
System "Outgrown"
"A real service to the people
of Virginia is being performed
by the well-directed publicity of
the details of our Outgrown and
wastefuI system and by sug-
geSted progress to a more finan-
ciaIly, economically and socially
sound system of local govern
mentS.
can enlightened public mind
Is the only agency capable of
overcoming the interests of the
political demagOgue and the
small sectional prejudices ex-
pected to be met in accomplish
ing the necessary changes"
Mr.. Hosmer was bitter in his
denunciation of the county jail
system, in particular, and highly
critical of other inefficient and
Wasteful practices.

RAIL PROBERS
URGE SINGLE
SYSTEM

NEW YORK, Feb. Is GN.SO.
Calling for preservation of the
nations rail transportation SyS-
tenn but asserting drastic reshap-
ing of railroad systems IS neceS-
sary, the report of the National
Transportation Committee today
was made public, II weeks after
the committee was organized
under craftsmanship of the late
Calvin Coolidge.
Changes Are Urged
In $4,000 word report,
thorough. going as concerns every
phase of the rail situation, the
committee urged, among other
things
Sweeping consolidation of
existing systems looking toward
an ultimate single national
system; Fastening or enforce
ment of regional consolidation
of 'wasteful and unnecessary
parallel lines and systems; re-
placement of Improbable -ail-
road service; ownership of
competing services, including
water lines; regulation of auto
motive transportation; revision
of debt structures; mOderniza-
ton of capital structures for
rate-making: and retroactive
repeal of the rail 'recapture
clause"
Smith Files Report
Former Gov. Alfred E. Smith,
while "in substantial agreement
with the greater part of the
committee report" issued sup
Elemental report stating his con-
cluSions 'in my own language,
placing the emphasis where I
think it belongs"
Smiths report suggested desig,
nation of aR arbitrato" to co.
ordinate rail activities now and
prepare plans for permanent con
solidation, urged elimination OF
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and creation Of 9 depart
ment of transportation, and de
clared bluntly what we need is
a new transportation system, not
endless hearings on a system that
does not work"
The committee report was
signed by Bernard Baruch capi
talist and vice chairman Of the
committee; Clark Howell, Atlanta
editor, and Alexander Legge
president of the Internationa
Harvester Company and former
Federal Farm Board chairman.
Old standards of railroad valua
ton and the congressional fail
