FIX RATE PROGRAMME.
WILL USE HEPBURN BILL.
Democrats Favor Much of Measure
but Viii Haze Substitute.
From The Tribune Bureau.l

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE Republican pro-
gramme for railroad rate legislation in the
House was definitely fixed to-day. The Hep
burn railroad rate bill. as amended IN commit
tee. will be the measure reported to the House.
The bill will be discussed at meeting of the
Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee. to
be held on Friday.
AS the Republican members of this committee
have already held a caucus on the Hepburn
measure. and accepted it, with certain modifica-
lions. which were agreed to by the author. who
reintroduoed it in the House to-day, the major
ity members of the committee have practically
finished their work, and the bill can therefore be
reported whenever they wish. The report would
probably have been made to-day. but the Demo-
Gratis the Interstate Commerce Committee
asked for time to study the measure in its
amended form. This request was readily
coded to, especially because of suggestion that
some Of the Democratic members of the commit
tee are disposed to favor many of the features
of the Hepburn bill.
The minority, however. have decided to bring
IN a substitute bill, which Representative Rich
ardson, of Alabama. and Representative Rus
sell, Of Texas. are preparing. The Democratic
measure will differ from the Hepburn bill in that
it will authorize the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to fix "a reasonable rate"-that is,
specific rate-in disputed cases, whereas the Hep
burn bill authorizes the commission to fix "a
maximum reasonable rate" The Democratic
bill will also stipulate that cases in the courts
shall be decided only by the testimony taken be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The Republicans have given notice that they
expect to bring in rule the Hepburn bill
when it is considered in the House. to pre-
vent amendments after the first day of debate.
This will permit the Democrats to offer sub
stitute which they go record.
Some few minor changes in the Hepburn bill
May still be made. a provision which will make
1t possible to bring action for violation of rate
statutes wherever the violation occurs is favored
by some members Of the committee.
There is possibility that unless the insurgent
movement on the Statehood bill is Quelled effect
ually within the next week. railway rate legis-
lation may take the place on the House calendar
which the leaders had Intended for Statehood,
but which, they say, they will abandon If the
opposition TO double Statehood seems too for
midable,
