says the Author Of the Townsend
Esch Bill

Detroit, Mich, April 27.-Congressman
Charles E. Townsend Of Jackson Mich.
author OF the Townsend-Es railroad
bill. spoke last night before a meeting Of
the Michigan Manufacturers association.
Mr.. Townsend took up the speech deliv-
cred by President Spencer of the Southern
railroad at Pfttsburg April 7.
I'VE do not ask wholesale reductions or
rates. said Mr. Townsend; I'VE want the
commission to have power TO decide what
is a just rate when the rates have been
challenged. Secret rebates mean the loss
Of millions by the railroads, but the rail-
roads are the most arrant towards.
sraffic men do not know the cost Of
the transportation of given article. a
given distance, and admit that they can
not find out. How. then. do they FIX the
rates-by putting on all the traffic viii
stand.
I'VE are asking nothing more than, as
President Roosevelt expressed It IN his
message, to keep the highways open to
all on equal terms President Spencer
says he agrees with the presidents senti-
ment and yet he attacks the bill which
seeks to bring this about. The same argu-
ments now used were used against the
original interstate commerce bill and yet
Mr. Spencer says the original law is a
good one and adequate to deal with all
abuses which may arise"
