Proposition—Demoorntii* Plan Will
Pro]>»I*Zy lie IiiUorNeti by tiic A<l-
iiiiniMtrntion.
Senator Stephen B. Elkins has evi
dently been to New York to consult hia
friends, tho Wall street railroad mag-
uates. about the plan of eanipnign to
prevent rate regulation. From New
Yorlv Senator Elkins informs the pub
lic "that all the Rcpul)lii‘au members
of lli(‘ senate committee on interstat«‘
commerce have reached the conclusion
that there must be railroad legislation
this winter.” ‘‘The pri*sident, I under-
siand,” said Mr. Elkins, “is ns emphat
ic as ever in his Jud,;;'ment that the rnil-
ri)iid rate and private car line probli'in
mu.'.t be dealt with decisively. I think
there is no doubt that some sort of bill
will be passed. ,Iust what its provi
sions v.'ill be is, of course, a matter of
coiijecture.
“My idea is a measure for th(‘ refer-
>'iic<* 01 all rale disputes. ]>ass('HK('r aivl
i’rtM:xl\t. to ;i court of interstate c^nii-
mcice to be composed of nine Judf'es.
one for ea-h judici.-il circuit of the
railed State's, or for such disputes to
1)1' referred to the cirt*uit ct)urt jutiKos
wiihotU the <Teation of a new court.
“I <lo not belii've tliat the interstate
commerce (‘ommission sliould l)c alhnv-
ci! to d(“al with the (piestion. I Avoukl
keep that body intact to discharge its
(Iiuies as at present and would not
irive it the addiiioiKil work of rc^^ulat-
iai? rates. My idea for the r('fereiu-e of
ilis;)v.ted iv’.te matters to the circuit
jr.;li;-('s ineels with j;eneral approval in
\Vas!iinfft(U). ami I hope to convert the
pre-iilcnt to my view.”
'i’ii.it interview Avas evidently careful
ly iirepared, so it is well to note the
;):>i!U:5 mad(' and the «-oiiclusions that
St'iir.tor Elkins and the railroad maj?-
m’.tes have arrived at. I'irst, ••'ihe j)res-
iii.'iit is as emphatic as ev<‘r” for re.^u-
l.'.tiu'j: railroad rates i>y j;ivin,ii more
p^iwer t() the interstati' comnu'rce com-
ir.ission. lait ”1 hot-e to convert (he
pi‘‘sii’.i'Tit to my view.” ‘‘My view.”
v.-Iii<h is doul'tless also the vi(>w of
l!ie railroad magnates, is that, as there
r.n'.si: b(> “sonio sort of a bill passe'd.”
nil the intrijjcue and craft of the <‘or-
p'.r.aiou magnates :’.nd their attorneys
are to be U'^ed to concoct a bill that,
while jiioli'iiiliiig to legislate ag-.iiist
ur.reasonable rates. Avill really <nact
nothing that will disturb th»' r;ii'ro;’.ds
from charging “all the trallic will
bear.”
Senator Elkais “does not bellcvi* that
tile intersti’.le commerc ‘ <-onr.nission
should be allowc'd to d(':’.l v.'ith ihe
(juestion.” which has been and is the
o])i!!ioii of Ilie railroads, but lla y are
wiliing to refer all rate dispiili'S to ;i
