will represent the longest step ever
yet taken in the direction Of solving
the railway rate problem"
The president, with a view to setting
at rest the reports in circulation mis-
representing his attitude on the rate
question, issued a formal statement de-
filming his position. The president de-
clared his entire satisfaction with the
Hepburn bill and the Allison amend
ment.
The presidents statement is as fol
| lows:
'The so called Allison amendment,
in the presidents Judgment, simply
states afiirmatively what the president
believes is already contained in the
Hepburn bill, but if there is the slight
est doubt as to it's being thus already
contained In the bill the president
would insist upon its being put in be-
cause, unless it is contained, the bill
undoubtedly would be void.
Therefore. as Incorporating the ALI
son amendment under no circum-
stances would do anything but good
and as there is an honest doubt on the
part of some sincere adherents of the
bill whether it is or is not already by
implication contained in the bill, the
president is clearly of the opinion that
the Allison amendment should be put
in and this without regard to whether
other amendments are or are moi
adopted.
"If the Hepburn bill. therefore, pass
es in this form. which is practically
the exact form in which it passed the
house, it will be satisfactory to the
president"

Since his appointment as governor
general several plots against him have
been uncovered. Almost Immediately

the conspiracy.
