AGAINST FIXING FREIGHT RATES.
w. Il. Kinds Representing the \. L. L..
and l.. & ", Argues the Case.

Washington, Jan. 19.-W. b. Kinds,
representing the Atlantic Coast Line
and the Louisville & Nashville RAM
roads continued his testimony against
government rate making for the ralt-
roads before the House Committee on
Interstate and Foreign Commerce to-
day
\ fundamental error on the part
of the advocates of government rate
making, Mr. Kinds believed was
reference of questions involving com
mercial rivalry between Localities TO
any tribunal. This he said, would put
the government in the attitude of dis
pensng prosperity to some localtleS
which action would withhold 1t from
some other locality. This was not
proper function of the government.
Mr.. Kinds maintained that the COM
mission would have the right TO raise
rates if it had power to fix them. but
he said the tendency would be to re-
duce rates. Mr.. Kinds said he coulo
not escape the conclusion that the
power proposed to be given the COM
mission was absolute authority over
the earnings and capital of the rail-
roads and over the commerce OF the
country.
Mr. Townsend asked if the commits
sion had abused the power to make
rates, which it was supposed to have
had during the first ten years of its
existence.
Mr.. Kinds said the commission made
many rates during that time which
the railroads never observed.

WORK or FINANCE COMMITTEE.
Tax on Hotels and DiStiIleries Proposed
to be Greatly Increased.

The subcommittee of the joint COM
mittee on finance met in the Treasur-
er's office yesterday afternoon and
went over a number of sections of the
present Revenue Act, some of which
were merely informally discussed and
others recommended TO the full COM
mittee for certain more or less I'M
portant changes.
The tax upon the manufacture of
cigarettes, which at present is $3.50,
$500 and 81 900, according to produc-
ton was recommended to be changed
to an increase of so per cent. IN the
rroportionate grades in the present
law.
The present statute relating to horse
traders was so changed that the tax on
the business of swapping horses was
recommended to be applied also to
those liery stable Keepers who BUY
horses or mules for sale.
The tax on congresses is recon-
mended TO be increased from 81 per
thousand bales compressed to $50
upon each compress. or rather the
tax is to be changed in respect to the
method of levying the tax.
one portion of the subcommittee S
report will be of especial interest in
the light of present conditions in some
OF the towns and cities OF the state,
which it is purpoSed to change as fol-
lows: Heretofore the rule has been
to tax hotels which charge one dollar
day or not less than $2.25 per room
and those charging ~ per day or more,
SO cents if the recommendation of the
subcommittee is adopted the tax IN
future on hotels will be IS cents per
room on hotels which charge as much
as 50 and less than So per day and 81
per room on those which charge IS
per day or over
AS to distillerieS, the tax now OBJ
tanning is recommended TO be doubled
| in each case AS at present ON the
statute book the distillery taxes are
as follows: Capacity of bushels per
day or less than 6 bushels, $25; and
less than II bushels, $50; : and less
than "a SIS: "a and less than AS,
SIPS; AS bushels capacity and over
500.
The section now obtaining in the
revenue act relating TO the purchase
tax on merchants it is proposed TO re-
real. al least there is a strong senu-
ment in that direction. The commit
tee, however, desiring TO get express
sions of opinion from the merchants
have set apart a special day for the
hearing of this section, this being Fri
| 'av next at 8 O'Clock in the Treasurer
office.
