INCONSISTENCY OF RATES.
Interesting Testimony Of Chicago Com.
mission DeaIen

Chicago, Oct. 5.-Lively interest
was evoked by w. S. Taskar of Chi.
cago, live stock commission dealer
and cattle feeder, who testified be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion regarding freight rates on live
stock and live stock products from
Missouri river points to Chicago. AS
an illustration of the alleged incon.
s1stency of the rates charged by rail-
roads Taskar testified that on one oc-
casion he shipped a herd of cattle
from points in Northwestern Wiscon-
sin to Chicago by way of South st.
Paul at much less freight rate than
he could have shipped the live stock
direct to Chicago. The tariff from the
points where he shipped in Wiscon-
sin to Chicago was rs cents a hun
dred. BY shipping to South St. Paul
and thence to Chicago he was able
to obtain rate of 151a cents per 100
pounds, although the distance of the
commodity had to be transported was
about 300 miles farther than by the
direct route.

DETERMINE TO SECURE LEGls.
LATioN FOR REGULATION
OF FREIGHT RATES.
CONFERENCE 1t the WHITE HOUSE
SUBJECT DISCUSSED BY ExEeu-
TIVE AND THE AUTHOR OF
5s Il
HOUSE MEASURE. !.

Washington, Oct. 5.-"President
Roosevelt is dead in earnest ON the
subject of railroad rate legislation and
is just as determined. as ever that
Legislative regulations. shall be enact
ed locking to federal supervision Of
the freight rate situation"
This statement was made by Rep
resentative Townsend az Mtahiean,
one of the authors Of. the, so-aaaied
Esch-Townsend railroad rate bin
which passed the house OF Representa-
tives last winter, after 4 conference
with President Roosevelt. The con-
ference was the most interesting and
important held during the day at the
White House. The president has
taken xp the subject of railroad
freight rates with an earnest desire
to reach such conclusion as will be
satisfactory generally, but he adheres
to the principle embodied in the legis-
lation proposed at the last session of
congress.
Representative Townsend called to
talk over the general subject with the
president and of the necessity for the
making of changes in the measure
which he and Mr.. Esch proposed last
winter. Mr. Esch notified the presi-
dent that he could not be here at this
time, but that Mr.. Townsend and he
were in utter accord. Mr.. Townsend
did not have opportunity to go fully
into the subject with the president,
but the president requested him to
call again. a.i
Roosevelt's petition Unchanged. i
81 ."I have no authority to represent
the presidents views as TO railroad
rates, said Mr.. Townsend, "but can
say that he entertains now the same
views in principle as he expressed in
his message last December. He be-
lieves that to either the interstate
commerce commission or to some
other body ought to be given the au-
thority to adjust rates found to be
unreasonable. The erux of the whole
matter is not that the commission
should fix rates, but that 1t should
have the power to substitute reason
able rate for one found on investiga-
tion to be unjust. Without such au-
thority the evils complained of could
not be reached"
Have any suggestions been made
of changes in the Esch-Townsend
bill?'
"Some changes may be made" re-
piled Mr.. Townsend, "but they will be
for the purpose Of making thu bill
clearer on certain points It is in
tended, of course, to include in the
bill regulation of private cars, refrig-
orator cars and terminal charges. We
thought they were covered by our
measure, but in order that there will
be no question about them they will
be included in the bill in a deanite
way. One thing is quite certain
there will be no narrowing of the
scope of the bill-no modification Of
the principles involved. The interest
Of both the shippers and the railroads
are to be subserved: Nobody wants
to do an injustice to the transporta-
tion lines and the bill agreed upon
will not be unfair to the railroads"
