UP TO THE SENATE
House Passes q Railroad Rate Bill
with Only II Dissenting Votes.
Closing Hours OF Debate Marked ~
q speech from williams, Whe
Predicted EARLY Agitation for
Government Ownership.

Washington, Feb. 10.-After nearly
four days Of discussion the house by q
vote Of 1926 to II passed the Esch-
Townsend bill providing for the regu-
lation of freight rates. The negative
vote was made up Of II republicans
and 6 democrats.
The closing hours Of the debate were
occupied by Messrs Williams (Miss.),
the minority leader. and Hepburn
(Ia.), chairman Of the committee which
reported the bill. MIR. Williams. while
supporting the minority measure, even
though he said he knew It could not
pass, complimented the republicans FOR
bringing in bill which was much bet
ter than he expected would come rom
them.
Discussing the merits Of the bill.
Mr.. Williams said the country had
waited for the railroads themselves
to do It justice. He agreed IN part
with Mr.. Mccall (Mass.). who had
said the right to Ak rates was q dan
gerous power to confer on seven men.
but he argued 1t was a choice between
evils, as only about seven great rail-
road magnates. acting in conjunction
with one another, were directing the
stream of American commerce In the
channels they wished and discriminate
ing wherever they saw At. II the fix
ing OF rates was to be lodged In some
hands, Mr.. Williams said. he preferred
It to be a government tribunal. weak
and ineffective as such tribunals are"
Declaring that he spoke as a con-
sentative, as he was not a radical. Mr..
Williams said the time may come when
all the country except the south would
be advocating government ownership
Of railroads. The south never would
support that proposition because they
had the old fashioned idea that the
government should not become too
strongly centralized. They were fur
Their opposed to government owner
ship because they knew the govern
ment would not operate coaches for
the whites and blacks.

A NEW STATEHOOD MOVE.
House shows Disposition to Con-
cede Senate Amendment Regard
ing New Mexico and Arizona.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE repub-
lican leaders Of the house yesterday
took the first step towards getting the
statehood bill into conference. In &C
cordance with the plan previously de-
cided upon Delegates Rodey and NC
CURE, Of New Mexico and Oklahoma,
respectively, began the circulation OF
q paper among the republican men,
bers for signature.
This activity on the part OF those In
terested in getting the bill through 10
taken to indicate confidence that the
senate ultimately will yield to the
house provisions. In this connection
II is understood that the house Is will
ing to accept the amendment offered
in the senate by Senator Foraker,
which permits Arizona and New Mex
leo to vote separately on the question
of statehood. Should either OF these
territories reject the proposition, the
provision for one state out OF the ter
ritories of Arizona and New Mexico
wound fail, but the union and admis-
sion of Oklahoma and the Indian ter
ritory would be secured.
