jurisdiction only over local matters and
local public utilities. As a part of this
plan, a compulsory system of federal
Incorporation is to be recommended,
accompanied by federal supervision of
railroad stock and bond issues.
A reorganization of the Interstate
Commerce Commission will be asked,
in order to enable the commission prop
erly to exercise its increased powers.
It is also proposed that the preparation
and prosecution of cases against the
railroads shall be delegated to some
other agency of the government, possi
bly the Departttient of Justice, so that
the commission may devote its ener
gies to its administrative functions..
With ’the commission thus relieved
of some of its present duties and equip
ped to handle its business more prompt
ly, the railroads will urge that the pe
riod during which the commission may
now suspend proposed increases In
rates be reduced from ten months to
60 days, with provision for reparation
to be paid to the shippers if the ad
vance shall be declared unreasonable.
They will also ask that the commis
sion be given the power to prescribe
minimum as well as maximum rates
so that in meeting complaints of dis
crimination the commission may order
the advance of a rate which it consid
ers too low.
One of the mostt important recom
mendations for which the railroads
will ask favorable consideration is
that the commission be^ specifically
authorized to take into account in
rate regulation^ the effect of rates
upon total earnings in the light of ex
penses.
■\3^hile the Newlands Committee is
required, under the resolution creat
ing it, to submit a report by January
2 next, it is not anticipated that the
Committee will have come anywhere
near completing its labors then.

Washington, _Nov. 20.—Ten members
of Congress, five Senators ^d five
members of the House of Representa
tives, began here today an inqtliry into
the subject of public control and su
pervision of railroads that *may lead to
the revolutionizing of the whole scheme
of governmental regulation of the coun
try’s transportation lines. Incidentally
the committee is to look into the ques
tion of government ownership of rail
ways, telephone and telegraph lines
and express companies.
The meinbers of the committee
which will conduct this important in
vestigation are Senator Newlands of
Nevada, chairman; Senators Robinson
of Arkansas, Underwood of Alabama,
Cummins of Iowa and Brandegee of
Connecticut, and Representatives Ad
amson of Oeorgli, Sims of Tennessee,
Cullop of Indiana, Escb- of Wisconsin
and Hamilton of Michigan. The in
quiry was recommended by President
Wilson in his message to Congress in
December of last year. He described
as its purpose to determine what could
be done “for bettering the conditions
under which the railroads are operated
and for making them more useful serv
ants of the country as a whole.”
Prominent Men as Witnesses.
In order to obtain the views of all
Interests afTected by the operations of
the transportation lines the committee
has invited prominent shippers, bank
ers, representatives of commercial or
ganizations, railway executives, econo
mists and others to appear before them
The first to be heard are railroad
commissioners of various states who
began their evidence today. Their
testimohy is directed chiefly to oppos
ing any enlargement of the federal
authority over commerce that would
detract from the powers now exercised
by state bodies. They will be followed
shortly by officials of railway labor
organizations who are expected to reg
ister their opposition to the increase
of governmental authority over 'wages
and conditions of labor.
Chief Interest in the hearings cen
ters in the proposals that will be put
forward by representatives of the rail
roads, for it is reported that they will
advocate an extension of federal au-
thprity over rates and securities to the
practical exclusion of state control of
these matters. It is understood also that
they will go on record in favor of fed
eral incorporation of all railroad lines.
Legislativa Program of Railroads.
From an authoritative source is ob
tained the following outline of the leg
islative program which the railroads
will ask the committee to consider in
its investigation: They will endeavor
to demonstrate to the commission that
one of the principal defects in the pres
ent system of railroad regulation is
the lack of coordination resulting from
the simultaneous and conflicting regu
lation by the federal government and
by the 48 states. They will, therefore,
ask that entire governmental control
oftthe rates and practices of interstate
carriers, except purely local matters,
be placed in the hands of a federal
body so that interstate traffic may be
regulated without .reference tp state

AFTER THREE YEARS
Marlon Testimony Remains Un
shaken.
Time is the best test of truth. Here
is a Marion story that has stood the test
of time. It is a story with a point which
will come straight home to many of us.
J. F. Williams, mgr. Telephone Co.,
Johnson St., Marina, says: “1 was all
run down from kidney trouble and the
best doctors in the state had no hope for
my recovery. I had rheumatic twinges
throughout my body. I was extremely
nervous and didn’t sleep well. The kid
ney secretions were scanty and scalded
in passage. I got Doan’s Kidney Pill^
at Streetman’s Drug Store and they cur-*
ed me.” (Statement given February
10, 1911.)
OVER THREE YEARS LATER Mr.
Williams said: “Since I recommended
Doan’s Kidney Pills, I have had no sign
of kidney trouble. I think they saved
my life.”

Which
Do You
Prefer ?
Pullman or Freight ?
No one would think of riding in a
freight car if he could enjoy the
comfort of a big, comfortable easy
riding Pullman parlor car.
So with automobiles. Most of the
popular priced cars ride like
freight cars. This is due to the
old fashioned type of spring.
Many manufacturers still continue
to use them.
The Overland does not. The 75 B
Overland has the latest type of
cantilever shock absorbing
springs. As a result it is one of
the easiest riding cars in the world.
One demonstration will prove this.
