thing In the- world. The motor
came tQ replace the horse, and
thef old Mrlver-flreman, couldn't

came a day when there was noth

DES MOIXES, la.. March l4.
(By The Associated Press.)
Knv tha.t thA shin . snbsidv is
dead, the next big problem whick
confronts congress is the revis
ion of the transportation act : sp
as to squeeze "the seven billion
dollars of watered stock out of
railroad, valuations," Senator
Pmith W. , Brookhart, junior sen
ator from Iowa, declared here
tonight in a; speech before the
Des Moines Press club!
rhe press has carried' a state
ment from Senator Cpmmins tp
the effect ' that It will " take ' six
months to revise the railroad
laws,", Senator Brookhart said.
"If this is true, an extra session
of , congress should be called ' at
once and' we should begin' 'on
the job.'" t , .
. Senator; ,; Brookhart said he
was. opposed to , the suggestion
that the' government take over
75,000 miles o f weaker,. railroads,
"The, .Wall street, crowd : would
be only too glad to unload the
weak roads , on the, government
and ' continue, the private opera
tion of the strong roads at high
ratos and great profits,' he - de
clared. , 'It the government
should, tae over . any roads, it
should take, over, the Pennsyl
vania system, the ..uBrlingtott
end the Union Pacific first," he
said.
Following hte speech . Senator
Brookhart " was presented - with
an elaborate ; a.rray ' of farm
clothes In' recognition of his oft
repeated declarations that he
wouldn't be caught dead In evew
uing dress." One old time hick
ory shirt, a suit , of overalls, a
two-foot straw 'hat and a red
renaana . nanpvkerchier, a barn
yard pitchfork and a .slightly
used curry comb were among the
farm effects given to Iowa's
