FORAKER HITS BACK At TAFT.
Ohio Senator Takes Issue With War
Secretary on Rate leuislation.

Ohio Senator Takes Issue With War
Secretary on Rate Legislation.
Cincinnati, Oct 27.-United States
Senator Foraker last evening from his
sick room issued reply to Secretary
of War Taft's speech at Akron on
railroad rates. The statement says:
Secretary Tafts speech proceeds
upon the theory that the abuses or
wrongs which the railroads are COM
mitting can be rem,died in only one
way, and that all who do not favor.
that way are opposed to any remedy
whatever. / do not assent to that
statement OF the ctlse. So far as
am aware, 1t is universally admitted
that in the past many evil practices
have obtained that some of them still
obtain; that none of them should be
allowed to continue; that an efficient
and expeditions remedy should be pro-
vtded against all of them in so far as
legislation can provide. The sole Diff
ference is as to whether conferring
the ratemalting power to the interstate
commerce commission is the only or
even a necessary remedy. My con-
tention is that it is not necessary, and
that Of all the remedies that have
been suggested 1t 10 unQuallnedly the
worst"
Senator Foraker says Secretary
Taft's declaration that the proposed
legislation would Withstand certain
present tendency toward government
ownership OF railroads under the ag-
itation Of w. J. Bryan is not borne
out by the facts he sees them.
The other ground upon which Sec
Pretary Taft justifies the legislation he
to remedy and prevent the
evils that the shippers of the country
are subjected to by the railroads has
more merit" the senator says. He
tells us that in past years three class
es of abuses have been practiced-ex-
cessive rates, rebates and discrimina-
tions. He then quickly very largely
disposes of all Of them by saying they
have been pretty generally abandcn-
