CHICAGO Fob. 5. "Taken as a
whole tho transportation system of the
United States so far as performing
Its proper functions in the transporta-
tion of our freights to their ultimate
markets and the carriage of -passengers
to their destination with safety
and economy is breaking down"
said.Senator Oscar TV. Underwood of
Alabama in an address delivered at a
dinner of the American Electric Rail-
way Association and the American
Electric Railway Manufacturers As-
sociauon alter ne had received a
number of the handicaps under which
the railroad system labored today.
If there were no Improvement he
said the country would demand gov-
ernment ownership but such a result
he thought would be unfortunate and
he favored the "Golden Mean'' along
the lines of private ownership and
government regulation.
"Wo must consider" ho said "the
wisdom of government supervision of
the issuance of all securities by our
transportation companies with tho as-
surance to the pubWc that new capi-
tal will ho invested to securo proper
facilities and used for legitimate pur-
poses not for speculation. We muat
assure tho public that when they in-
vest money in railway securities.
which are supervised by government
regulation we stand for a system of
regulation which will aljow the trans-
'Portatlon companies to charge such
rates 'for carriage aa will enable them
to promptly meet their interest ac-
counts as iweii as their operating ex-
penses. We must perfect a system
of regulation that will recognize that
the transportation lines of America
are great public highways in which
the -people are as much Interested as
those who have invested their capital
In them that every shipper In Amer-
ica must have equal right in the
transportation of his goods along
those highways and that rebates and
discrimination of all kinds must be
of tho past and prohibited In the fu-
ture and wo must recognize that the
man who Is willing to invest his mon-
ey at a moderate rate of Interest In
railroad securities Is not exploiting
the public but Is. a public benefactor.
"Wo must consider tho wisdom of
substituting one master for the for
ty-nine masters that regulate our
commerce today. The main trouble
with the regulation of our railway
system is that corporate law has been
destructive not constructive has been
piecemeal not comprehensive.
I 'The Pre3ident of the United States
in his recent message to Congress has
recommended that a Commission
jshould be appointed to give a thor-
ough investigation to all the problems
that confront us in the field of trans-
portation. As I understand the pur-
pose of this investigation if is not
to hoId.an inquest of what had hap-
pened in the past It errors have
been committed or injuries have been
! done that is a question for the courts
I and not for legislation.. The real pur-
jpose to be accomplished by the in-
i vestigation Is to give an ODDortunitv
for all concerned the farmer the
i merchant those directly engaged in
transportation the Inter-state Com
merce Commission and the railroad
managers to appear before a commit-
tee of Congress and state their views

great problem with the view in mind
that in the council) of many we shall
find wisdom to guide our legislative
course.
"Let us hope that the result of this
investigation will bo productive of
wise legislation legislation that will
build up and not destroy legislation
that will be helpful and not hurtful
legislation that will bring lasting and
America."
Senator Underwood added that in
his opinion adequate transportation
facilities for this country both from
the standpoint of service and safety
would mean making roadbeds more
secure and permanent enormous in-
crease in trackage safety equipment
and the improvement and extension of
terminal facilities."
