RAILROADS FEEL

Special TO The Journal.
Chicago, Jan. 14.-Walter Wellman
in Washington special to the Record

Prominent railroad men now in the
city, tell their friends they feel the ut
most confidence congress will not pass a
bill comforting rate-making power upon
this session, special session or any
something that looks like such a bill
may pass, but that it will not contain
anything harmful to the railway inter

In other words they believe they are
strong enough to tie the thing up" in
such a way that it shall prove to be
almost a dead letter. Well-known

tors. and others friendly to the rail

legislation all right, but it will have
to be reasonable legislation
It is too early to say in just what
manner the. representatives Of the roads
hope to take the sting out of the pro-
posed act, but it is clear that they have
no fears Of their ability to control the
situation.
Notwithstanding the talk of many
railroad men here and elsewhere, that
the passage of such a law as the presi
dent proposes, would work disaster in
the railway world, and perhaps bring on
panic, it is noticed that the general
belief in the final enactment Of q rate
law, which has spread over the country
recently, has caused no i'll effects in
Wall street. Railroad stocks are not
down and if any change is to be noted
are showing general tendency upward
In what precise form the railroads
propose to meet the issue, cannot, as YET
be stated. It is generally supposed

RAILROAD BILL TO
SUIT AND TO PASS
PRESIDENT, Party Leaders, Trans
portation Men and Shippers
Get Together.
HEPBURN MEASURE
TO BE THE RESULT
Roosevelt and His Friends Do
Not Expect "Gold Brick
from Roads.
BY w. W.. Jermane.

Washington, Jan. l4.-Presldent
Roosevelt spent large part Of this
morning going over the railroad bill
which has been drawn by Chairman
Hepburn Of the house committee on
commerce. Mr.. Hepburn and Speaker
Cannon have agreed with the president
that the bill is not to be introduced
until it has the entire approval Of the
chief executive. 81
"The president, the house leaders,
the members of the cabinet and the
leading railroad men of the country
are working on this proposition as one
man." said member Of the interstate
commerce committee this morning.
"What is more, there is to be no seri-
GUS opposition to this legislation when
it's details are perfected. 1t is going
to go thru the house, and it will, in
my Judgment, pass the senate also at
this session.
Stronger than Cooper Bill.
The Hepburn bill is said to be more
comprehensive and stronger than the
Cooper-Quarles bill and to furnish more
adequate machinery than that bill for
carrying out it's purposes. The gen
eral purpose Of the bill is along the
same line as the bill drawn by the at
torneys engaged by the E. P. Bacon
lobby.
The president does not share the fear
which has been expressed, that he is
about to be f'bunkoed" by the rail
road lobby and the senate. A story
widely circulated today proceeds upon
the theory that the railroad senators
are about ito hand Roose.,aIt a gold
brick which he will innocently imagine
to be real railroad legislation.
"We have too much respect fol
Roosevelt's ability to imagine that hi
can be fooled in this matter,' said ont
Of the house leaders today. ''Besides
if the president were a fool himself, h,
has some men about him who were no
born yesterday.
All Interests Consulted.
'The fact is, the president, the rail
road men Of the country and the lead
ers in both branches of congress hav
been working and talking over this sub
ject for nearly month now. Their
have been daily and almost night
conferences. All sides and all inter
ests have been given their hearing
they have said what they would an
what they would do, and what the
thought could be done and what woul
be unwise to attempt.
"Out of all this there has come
general understanding which will IT
suit in legislation satisfactory to tn
shipping interests and to the admin
tration, and which will be accepted b

which might happen to them later

T['W0.CENI FARE
BILL IS COMING
Passenger Rate Reduction to Be
Coupled with the Anti
Pass Bill.
PUBLIC TO PROFIT
BY PASS ABOLITION
Republican Leaders Planning a
Program Of Party Policy for
the Session.

A bill limiting passenger fares in
Minnesota to cents a mile is soon to be
introduced, with assurance of strong
backing in the legislature.
This bill is to be made a companion
piece to the Peterson bill, abolishing
railroad passes. The two bills have
close relation, and will stand or fall
together. It is believed by the friends
Of the antipass bill that the 2-cent fare
bill will greatly strengthen it's chances
Of success.
The antipass bill alone rests on moral
grounds entirely. The argument in its
favor is that public servants have no
right to accept gratuities from private
interests, which are likely to influence
their course: On this ground the bill
may gain strong support, but a large

money in the pockets Of the railroads.
So long as we have to pay the same
old fare, it makes no difference
whether other people ride on passes or
not.'' 5#.E
The 2-cent fare bill will answer this
argument. In support Of the bill it's
friends will say:
elf the railroads quit giving free
transportation, they can afford to carry
b
way the public will get the direct
benefit from abolishing passes The
railroads now carry people on mileage
at 2-cent rate, and sell tickets to COM
petitive points at less than the Scent
rate. IF every one is made to pay fare,
the railroads will be doing as well as
they are now if all fares are put on a
2-cent basis. ~

Special TO The journal.
Chicago, Jan. 14.-The Tribune this
morning says:
The Tribune has. attempted to get
republican members elected to the next
congress on the subject of the pro-
posed revision Of the tariff. Twenty
six have replied and show an evenly
divided sentiment on the subject. Half
these members oppose the project en-
tirely on the ground that the tariff
schedules now in force haze prevailed
ty and should remain undisturbed until
same serious need for change s. de-
vSloped. The fact that tariff agita-
tion always disturbs the business In
terests Of the country is urged as an
adequate reason for sticking to salts
factory tariff law for at least dozen
years before any attempt be made to
tinker with it. = ..--s... i. 49,.
Those who favor tariff legislation: ia.
vor only such few changes as seem now
needed and they urge that they be
made as speedily as possible so as to
avoid the dangers of a long discussion
Of the subject. Then again it is urged
that the present tariff has been out
| grown by the country, that changes
would be needed surely within few
years and that it would be wiser tt
start them now when the friends of the
protective tariff are in power and wher
the country is SO prosperous that the
effects of public agitation Of the sub
| ject would be least serious.
The poll Of these new members sup
plementing the poll Of the republicans
in the present house by Speaker Can
non, the results of which were over
whelmingly against revision, shows z.
probable Congressional division Of sen
timent on the subject when the mex
