Injustice by Railroads

WANTS LAW CHANGED

Washington May 11-oGvernor A. B.
Cummings Of Iowa testified today before
the Senate committee on interstate com.
merce, which is considering railroad leg
islation. He criticized the statement by
railroad men that rates were low enough
now, and the impression he said they en-
deavored to convey that the object sought
was to give power to the commission %
fix all rates.
He claimed that this was nothing unjust
in giving the commission the power which
the proposed legislation would confer up
on II to correct an unreasonable and dis
criminatory rate between c:.-erent kinds
of traffic and localities. lie advocated the
establishment by Congress Of a tribunal

Iowa Injured.
He said the badly adjusted railroad
rates had removed 1owa's chances of be-
coming a manufacturing state and claimed
that the railroads are opposed to the in
terstate commerce law, and to the safety
appliance laws. Chairman EllSins declared
at this point that before the committee
got through WIN the Interstate commerce
law, 1t would be amended.
I'VE think it needs amending" he said,
land we will amend IL In some particulars
that will suit YOU" he added addressing
Governor Cummings.
If the commission is given power to
fix rates, it should have power to either
raise or lower rates." suggested the gov
ernor.
But will rates always be reduced?"
asked Mr.. Elkins. rs not that the COM

NO" replied the governor ''the COM
plant Is often that too low a rate is given
to the other fellow.
Would Amend Law
Continuing. the witness said he would
not favor a minimum rate, except to pre-
vent determinations. He would support
the Eseh-Townsend bill of it were not
possible to get better measure He
would simly amend the present law by
giving the interstate commerce commits
sion power to fix rate which would be
prima facie evidence of a reasonable rate.
The governor thought 1t unsafe to as
sumo government ownership of railroads
on the ground that under it the railroads
would become vast political machine.
