PRESIDENT STILL
 CLINICS ID IDEA Favors Rate Legislation at the
 Earliest Moment TOWNSEND CALLS ON HIM MT. Townsend Says the Esch-ToWn- send Bill Is If Anything Too

TOWNSEND CALLS ON HIM

Washington, October 4.-(Special0-The first definite move on the part of the President toward the framing of a bill regulating rates of the country was taken this morning, when Representative Town send of Minnesota, one of the authors or the Esch-Townsend bill, which passed the house last winter, and wasy promptly pigeon-holed in the Senate, called at the White House and talked with the Presi- be made in the annual message to Con- gross.
 Rumor had it that MT Townsend was not altogether satisfied in his own mind that the President was as much In fa- vor of railroad legislation as he was this time last year His threats to cali ex- tra sessions and his failures to do so did not look encouraging to railroad rate ad- vocates. Upon leaving the White House, however, MT. Townsend said he could not note any change in the Presidents at titude. He returns tomorrow afternoon to go over the subject In detail.
 ''The President is as strong as ever for rate legislation" declared MT. Townsend. "The few minutes I was with him con vinced me of this. He told me that he was in no way responsible for the re- ports that he had changed his attitude. On the contrary he said that ihs views would be before Congress oil December 4, and they would practically be in line with the sentiments expressed by him 1ac naoapnbar

Only In Terminology.

My own opinion is that the bill Of last year will be changed only as to terminoi- ogy. It will not be narrowed, but rather broadened in its scope. There has been some doubt as to it's clearness as to re- frigerator cars. private cars and ter minal charges. We thought we had cov- cred these points, but there will be no doubt over the question in the next Con- gress The crux of the whole situation lies
 in the granting to the interstate com merce commission, or some other body, the power to change rates. That Is to say, when it finds upon fair investigation and full hearing that a rate is bad 1t should have the power to cancel that rate and substitute just one. Really the Esch- Townsend bill Is too conservative. It con serves the interests of the railroads at every point. We ought to have oill tha. VII not interfere with the honest business O the railroads. but also want one that will prevent their overstepping the bounds.'
