You need n real tonic. Strength ii required to overcome

acute catarrh; it may become chronic. Chronic catarrh fre

It clears away the waste matter, dispels the inflammation

COUNTRY DEMANDS ACTION
Shippers, Investors and Representa
tives of All Branches of Business De
mand Unification of System of Rail
way Regulation—Roads Ask Fewer
Masters.
V* ashlngton, 1 >ec. 18.—The Congres
sional, Joint Committee on Interstate
Commerce, which has been conducting
the inquiry into government regulation
and control of transportation, last
week decided to suspend its hearings
on the subject and adjourned, subject
to the call of the cliainuan, because of
the pressure of other work before Con
cress. According to the resolution cre
ating the committee, it Is required to
submit a report by January Mil next.
If is understood that before that time
the committee will ask for an exten
sion of time and that (he hearings will
be resumed at a later date, when some
of those who already have appeared
before the committee will be question
ed further and a great many others
will he heard. It is probable, howev
er, that the hearings will not he resum
ed until after adjournment of Congress
on March 4th. In addition to regular
routine business the commerce com
mittees of the two houses are charged
with the important duty of preparing
and presenting tiro legislation asked
for by President Wilson to make im
possible a railroad strike without pre
vious investigation. This will leave
little or no time for the consideration
of the general questions of railway
regulation.
Country Wants Something Done.
Members of Congress and others
who are interested in the inquiry un
dertaken by the Newlands Committee
insist that there is no intention of
abandoning it.
It seems doubtful, indeed, if the
country would irermit the matter to
he dropped if there were evidence of a
desire on the part of Congress to do
so. The nation-wide evidences of in
terval evoked by the initiation of the
Newlands inquiry show that the peo
tun-
ers and investors, as well as railway
men themselves—are alive to the fact
that the railway situation is highly un
satisfactory and that steps roust be
taken without imitecv - ary delay to
make ii possible for the railroads to
meet the growing needs of the nation.
From, reports received hero it seems
as though almost every commercial or
ganization and business interest in the
country were engaged, in studying the
railroad question. The Chamber of
Commerce of the United States has
been conducting an elaborate inquiry
into various phases of the subject for
many months past. Many local and
state commercial bodies in every part
of the couirtry have committees en
gaged in study of the problem and
have indicated a ties?re to come here
and present their views. National or
ganizations of manufacturers, lumber
men, coal operators, wholesale and re
tail dealers, have expressed through
resolutions their desire for the unifica
tion of the system of railway regula-
tion. The National Industrial Traffic'
League, speaking from the viewpoint
of shippers using the railways, has
Indorsed exclusive federal regulation
providing it is accomplished in such a
way as to give full protection and
prompt adjustment In matters relating
to transportation within the states.
Many Interests Studying Problem.
All these organizations represent pri
marily the shipi>ers of the country, but
they are not the only ones who are
taking a hand in (he discussion. The
Investors of the nation, through their
o#n associations and through commit
tees representing the savings banks and
other financial organizations, are [ire
paring to show the necessity of improv
ing railn ad credit and protecting the
rights of those whose money is invest
ed in railway securities. Finally the
railroads themselves, being vitally con
corned in the improvement of existing
conditions, nre planning to submit their
views through their executives, oper-
nting officials and traffic experts and
to assert their willingness to accept far
reaching federal regulation along lines
that will enable them to attract capital
and to provide the facilities needed for
the prompt and efficient handling of
the country's transportation business.
Main Trouble is Too Many Masters.
Not all of these interests are in ac
cord as to tlie remedies that should lie
adopted. There seems to lie a genera!
agreement, however, that many of the
difficulties which confront the railroads
and which make it impossible for them
to meet the requirements of t*ie na
tion's commerc e promptly and satisfac
torily arise from the haphazard and
often con flic ting measures of regulation
that have been adopted from time to
time by the federal government and the
forty-eight states and that what is
needed is a well ordered, systematic
scheme of federal regulation that shall
cover the whole country and make it
possitde fur t he railroads to provide the
! ons and improved facilities so
clod, while at the same time
fully the public interests.
