Federal Regulation Should Not Be Al
lowed to Exclude Exercise of State
Authority, He Contends Thinks Rail
road Stocks Should Represent Actual
Value and Be Stable as Government
Bonds.
Washington, Dec. 11. William J.
Bryan, who startled the country ten
yeavg ago by advocating government
ownership of railroads, appeared be
fore the Xewlands Joint Committee on
Interstate Commerce hist week In sup
port, of the claim that the states shonUl
be allowed to retain aiirhorily over the
regulation of nil trnuspoua'cion lines
vvilhiu their borders. Mr. Itiyan ex
plained that he hud long regarded gov
ernment ownership as Inevitable, but
only because of railroad opposition to
effective regulation.
Against Government Ownership.
"Personally 1 cannot say that I do
sire povernment ownership," he ex
plained, 'because 1 lean to the liidi
vldiml idea rather than to the collec
tive idea; that Is. 1 believe that gov
ernment ownership Is desirable only
where competition is impossible."
Alfred P. Tlioiu. counsel to the Kail
way incentives' Advisory Committee.
previously had presented before the
members of the Newlands ConimlUee
as one of his reasons for urging a bet
ter balanced and more systematic reg
ulation of railroads the argument that
this Is the only alternative In govern
ment ownership. Culling attention to
the restrictions imposed upon the
transportation Hues by conrllcthig slate
laws and regulations, to the practical
cessation of new const met Ion and to the
Impossibility under existing conditions
of securing the new capital needed for
extensions and bctlwuictit.s of railway
facilities, In? warned trie Congressmen
that unless they provided a fair and
reasonable system of regulation that
Would cnalile the rnllronds to meet the
growing needs of the country's bust
ness the national government would,
be compelled to take over the owner
tihlp of the lines with all the evils at
tendant upon such a system.
Preservation of Competition.
Mr. Hryan. on the other hinid, holds
that the further extension of federal
authority over the railroads would be
a step In the direction of government
ownership. He advanced the view that
the centralization of control hi the
hands of the national government
would impose ton great a burden upon
the regulating body, would oiler sirong
temptation to railroads to Interfere In
politic and would ciiooiinivo , mn.
eral movement toward i enirali-alion
of power In the federal government at
the expense of the states. lie said that
he did not object to ooieolhliil ions of
railroad linc-i so long us they did not
destroy eoiu;i'l it ion. that he knew of
no complaint iciaiust great railway
systems because of their size and that
he believed tint the pi e onnl ion of
