Washington, April 24 Former Senator M'iricn Htitler Is still wedded to liis Hopu listic v ls Although a .pronounced He publicin he favors government ownership of railroads and all other utilities. In aw interview published here .today with reference to this question the former Populist leader saidik; ? 4Fr in my point of ; view there Is only one way to deal with railroads and that is Tor the government to run them, inot only is there the evil of discrimination but the rales in many cases are extortion ate. They should be lo wered. The gov ment is fully able to handle this question and it should do it.
