Still, it is possible that we have not gone far allow companies tG build roads just where they will pay and enough in limiting their power; and I shall be very glad to not try to open up the country. The Commission is desirous of look into the point the Senator from Wisconsin has made to having a complete system, and, I think, wisely so. see whether some amendment may not be desirable there. I understand the Senator from Wisconsin [Mr. SPOONER] Mr. NEWLANDS. I should like to ask the Senator from agrees with me as to the general policy, which can only be car Massachusetts whether any plans or estimates regarding the ried out by some form of Government guaranty and aid.

But it would undoubtedly be that much, bill now upon the idea that there are only two contingencies to judging by om· past experience. which we can turn; one is Government ownership and the other Mr. LODGE. That was merely what be thought in a general is a guaranty of interest on the bonds. I call the attention of the way. I think he said, as I recall it, that he hoped tlley Senator to the fact that we have in the Philippines 70,000,000 could get a lower rate. From the way in which Philippine acres of unappropriated public domain, and that in many other bonds are selling on the market, I think we could probably get cases-in Texas, for inst.ance-the railroads were constructed by a lower rate. Of com·se that aggregate estimate of the cost of a grant of a portion of the public domain for each mile of rail a thousand miles would add so many more miles, and they want way constructed. If, for instance, that same policy be pursued to be in position in making this offer to control the route of the in the Philippines, it would take about 20,000,000 acres of this road, so as to get some systematic plan of building railroads in 70,000,000 acres to subsidize, or at least to aid, the railways the islands. organized by private corporations or individuals, leaving 50,- Mr. NEWLANDS. I can understand how important it is, as 000,000 acres of unappropriated domain still for the public, and stated by the Senator, that a comprehensive system of railroads meanwhile this land granted to the railway companies would for those islands should be framed in the first place.
