SHEPHERD WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—Buying of public utilities by governments ‘The 20th century way and the way most talked of in W: Hon od adits agin dh garg President Wilson is familiar with tt. and his best friends betieve he had it in mind when, in his speech to con grees, December 2, he maid: “It would be a “dtaservice alike to the country and to the owners of rail roads to return to the old conditions unmodified.” ‘The new idea is this: To license corporationa which op- erate railways. ‘The idea is spreading like wildfire in Washington. It is intended to operate like this: A man, or any set of men, who owns a railroad property will be ex-| pected to appeal to the government | for a government license to operate the property. Certain fixed regulations will be made for railroad operation. These will involve earnings, rates and all the details of railroad operation. So long aa operators abide by the license regulations they will be per. mitted to conduct their business. Whenever they break regulations, they will be summoned before the li cense board. If the Heense is taken away from then, they must step out and permit the government to conduct the rail way until other licensees appear. To lose the license does not mean to lose the property. In fact, under the plan, a company that loses a license to operate a public utility may retain its ownership in the property indefi nitely. The property is not licensed in any respect. The license is only the right to operate the property for | public use President Wilson's suggestion that private ownership, uncontrolied, will |be unendurable, is believed to point Seemed nptior fe belief in the licensing system.
