Thaw, which accompanied a basket of
flowers he sent to her late In the after

BRYAN TO URGE OWNERSHIP
OF RAILROADS BY PEOPLE
Won’t Make an Issue
of the Money
Question.
Hr Private Leased WIV*.
St. Louis, Mo., August IS.—Homer
Baas, of the St. lamia Republic, writing
from Zurich, Hwttaerland, under the
date of August 3, gives the first deti
nue statement of William J. Bryan's
program for turning the railroads of
the country, over to the federal and
state governments. Tha plan la new
and haa been carefully worked out.
"Mr. Bryan will attack the truata In
hi* New York apeech,” writes Mr. B
"and 1 suspect h* will go further and
give hie view* on certain form* of pOb
lie ownership of public utllltlea, with
especial reference to railroads both In
terstate and within tha state*.
Favors Income Tax.
“It Is also quite likely that with the
support of the original Bryan party
wing nnd the aid of such Eastern con
servative! ns Alvan Clark, of Now Jer
sey, he will com* out boldly for a con-
elltutlonal amendment that will make
an Income tax one of the certainties of
the next half dnaen year*. If Mr..Brynn
enters upon the money question, It Is
quite likely that he will repeat hls es-
eertjona of the recent years that con
ditions have eliminated money aa an
Issue, as the results of several conver
sations with Air. Bryan In London, at
which lime I saw him nearly every day
In a fortnight.
"One of the many striking Impres
sions that have mine to Mr. Bryan on
this tour has to do with the ownership
of great public utilities by the state
with especial reference to th* rail
roads. Mr. Bryan has hern In Europe
on other occasion*. lie ha* bean care
ful to examine the conditions surround
ing the .government management of
larger arteries of travel.
To Own Trunk Linas.
"In every Important particular he
would apply the theory differently - to

lines by the government In order that

In any way suffer Impairment, but he
would Insist that tha local line* In ev

the Idea of state Individuality which. In
Air. Bryan's opinion, would In lime be
wiped out If al\ lines passed Into fed
eral control.
"Th* enormous prestige that would
be thk result of such a railroad man.

tend to Intrench the party In power and
