WILL SIFT PRIVATE CAR EVIL.
Esch- Townsend Bill Purposely Lack
ing; Other Bills Unsatisfactory.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 90
So much has been said in the discus
sion of railroad legislation this winter
about the private car, or refrigerator
represent, that great surprise has
been expressed over the failure of the
house committee on interstate and
foreign commerce to include some
provision for their regulation in the
Esch-Townsend bill, which passed
the house Thursday
Representative Stevens of Mime
sofa, author of the bill placing pri-
vate car companies under the inter-
state commerce commission, and
member Of the house committee, was
asked the reason for this apparent
oversight He explained the situation
in this way:
Why the Bill Went Through.
There were two reasons why the
private car provision was not insert
ed in the Esch- Townsend bill. Messrs.
destroy it's symmetry. The bill was
drafted by the department Of justice
and approved by the president, and
was directed to the sole purpose Of
giving the interstate commerce COM
mission power to fix reasonable rates
upon complaint of unreasonableness
or discrimination; to put the orders
of the commission into effect as soon
as possible, and to bring about prompt
settlement of disputes arising from
overcharges and discrimination by the
railroads.
1.-The private car question and the
midnight rate question are quite
different in their nature from those
dealt with by the Esch-Townsend
bill. Esch is a species of rebate Or
Indirect discrimination, and is to
some extent included under the terms,
practices and regulations as found in
the Esch bill, so that some of the evils
would be remedied by the passage of
that bill.
Included In Stevens Bill.
But there are three questions con-
corning private car traffic which are
not covered by the Esch-TOwnsend
bill, but included in the bill intro
duced by myself. The first is whether
it is desirable to regulate or prohibit
the use of private cars. The second
is whether it is desirable to regulate
or prohibit exclusive contracts by any

MEAD TO REMOVE MCDONALD
GOVERNOR WILL APPOINT A NEW
STATE FOOD AND DAIRY
SSIONER.
Present Incumbent Has Held the Office
for Eight Years-Woodins Be
Successor.

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. 2O.-A new
state food and dairy commissioner will
soon be appointed by Gov. Mead to
succeed f. A. Mcdonald of this city,
who has held the position for the past
eight years and under three different
governors. The statement comes from
Mead either had asked for Mr.. Nc
Donald's resignation or that he had
dropped a very strong hint as to what
course ne would like to have Mr.. Nc
Donald pursue.
When seen by a newspaper repre-
sentative Mr.. Mcdonald said:
Il nave not as yet been notified
that 1 am to be removed from my po-
sition-a position 1 have held for eight
years. 1t is politics, I suppose, and
while I have always thought this Of
flee should be. without the pale of pol
itics nevertheless I will say nothing.
It do not think the governor has
anything against me personally. We
have always got along nicely together.
1t is true that did no active work
during the late campaign, but 1 do not
think that will count or has counted,
in the governors decision. 1 know
so far as my work is concerned I am
strongly endorsed by the manufac-
turers' association of both Seattle and
Tacoma, and in fact, by all the or
CARNATIONS in the state that have
come under my jurisdiction.
81 am not afraid to have my work
in this office investigated. 1 have al
ways done the best I could, resting
content with the knowledge that I
have done my duty. The question of
pure food is one of the most vital i'm
portance, and I have, while acting in
a broad minded way, always done the
best I could to protect the people
against adulterated foods.
eff I am removed I have several
plans in mind regarding the future,
although I will say nothing about them
at the present time
Just who the governor will name to
succeed Mr. Mcdonald is not known,
but it is reported among local politi-

railroads with any private car COM
pany. The third is how far extra
service. such as refrigeration. etc.,
can or ought to be included in the
usual service of carriage.
There is need for most careful in
vestigation, both legal and economic,
before these questions can be salts
factorily disposed of. The commit
tee on interstate and foreign COM
merce did not have time to take testi-
mony or to give any consideration to
these questions. and for that reason
the Townsend bill was not
amended to cover all phases of the
private car evil
Stevens Bills Chances.
Those interested in the question
realize that there is no chance for the
passage of a private car bill at this
session, and but little for the enact
ment into law of the Esch-Townsend
bill. But an effort will be made to
pass the first named bill at the next
session, and that it may be disposed
of early in the next congress, testi-
mony on the private car question will
be taken during the remainder of this
terstate and foreign commerce may
have all the facts and arguments
before it when the time comes to re-
port a bill for passage.
There is a surprising lack of infor-
nation in the committee and among
the general public about private cars.
Even we'll informed railroad men,
would be supposed to know, have
been unable to tell the committee
much on the subject. The inter-
state commerce commission doesn't
appear to know anything about them,
and members of the committee believe
it desirable to study the question du-
ring the coming recess of congress in

The Overstreet Bill.
President Cassatt of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, in speech on the
private car question last week, ex-
pressed approval of the Overstreet bill
on that subject. Little or nothing has
been heard of that bill, but investiga-
ton shows that it was introduced
early in the last session. 1t simply re-
quires private car companies to make
reports of their operations to the inter-
state commerce commission, and gives
the commission power to investigate
unfair rates, if they are common car
riers. The bill does not give the COM
mission jurisdiction over them if they
are not common carriers In the
opinion of those who are seeking a
remedy for private car evils, the bill
does not go far enough, and it is
doubtful if anything could be accom-
plisned under it if it were a law.
