Additional Testimony in tho North

; WABHTNOTON August H.-A probabl
adveree sffeot of State leglstetlon on th
property Of railroads and the people gr th
country waa th feature of th testimony
today of Comptroller Plant of the Bouthern
railway la the North Carolina rate hearing
sea.. He pointed Out that If a panto should
result from th lowering of passenger rate
th Slat of North Carolina- would have to
ishar the burden of twoaefblllty :.v'r-:'i "
The discussion of this phase of th contro-
versy was brought about by a question asked
Mr. Plant by Mr. JurtUie.. speaker of the I
North Carolina lelslatura. as to whether
there was congestion ba the' BciHhera rail-
way -line laf NotCJarnljna.'?--i'
fr. Plant replied that th more rate leg
laUon the less oongestton thsre would be
because legislate would hav m tondanay to
decrease buslneas In the country as a whole
"I mean to say" added Mr. Plant -that
the greater the agitation against tb rail-
road of the country th greater th prob
ability of a decrease la general trade." "
The reason why the Bouthern railway doe
aot Increase Its facilities for moving traf-
fic faster than now Mr. Plant explained
was that tb Bouthern has not th cash to
pay tor such addiUonal - facilities. To get
th money for the Improvement It inuet
go Into th money market and sail Its se-
curities. "It cannot'' h said "find a mar-
ket for aeourltle la th face of Btat legis-
latioa tending -to reduce its rates below th
point where it can ears th money to pay
for ths aeoeasary lmprovementa. " ...
"If th rau m North Carolina Is exorbi
tant do you think the Bouthern -stall way
oompany .ought to. erltiols tho Btat ol
North Carolina for. making an Investigation
and fixing the rates to what it thinks are
proper r asked Mr. Justloe. .
'If th rate ar axorbltaat" replied Mr.
plant "aad can be shown to b X do not be-
lieve tb Southern" would object to consider
ing wo rodncttoD.''. t
