because they think that is an

suppose. "Well, people go to
Bemidji to bathe, and they don t
put that in the biographies. y
"Oh, [ see. But you must under

continues as it has for the past eight
cen hours the city will likely suffer
much damage.
In the lowlands on the outskirts tne

suspend and the fire department has
been kept at work pumping water

FOR REGULATION OF RATES
HOUSE COMMITTEE FAvoRARLY
REPORTS BILL BY UNANl-
NOUS VOTE.

Washington, Jan. The house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce has agreed upon rate bill
to be known as the Hepburn bill, to
be reported to the house with the
unanimous recommendation of the
eighteen members of the committee.
In the main the bill is the original
Hepburn bill, but a number of conces-
and their ideas as set forth in the
Davey bill were flcely incorporated in
the perfected measure
The fact that the Hepburn bill, III
substantially the form in which it will
go to the house, is the Dolliver-Clapp
bill pending in the senate committee
shows how near together the leaders
in both houses have come to be on
this great question.
This bill upon which the representa-
tives Of both parties in the house have
united contains in effect practically
all the provisions President Roosevelt
has sought to have enacted into law
as solution of the railway rate ques-
ton.
In essence the bill empowers the
Interstate commerce commission, on
hearing, after complaint is made, to
FIX reasonable maximum rate The
private car and terminal questions are
thoroughly covered. The commission
is to be composed of seven members.
Provision is made for a test of the
legality of the commissions rates in
the courts.
Mr.. Hepburn and the other Repub-
licans agreed to accept the wording Of
the Democratic bill in the provision
for the fixing of the maximum rate.
The amendment provides that the
commission shall fix a "just, reason
able and fairly remun nerative rate.
which shall be the maximum rate
