No DECISION REACHED YET.
On Question of Joint-State-

MATTER OF RATE CONTROL
A Publicity Bill Association
Organized. q

the insurgents claim that they have
70 votes sure against the Statehood
rule. The House managers claim
that they have not forty. A vote is
the only real test Of strength, The
auti-jointsstatehood people from Ari-
zona had q long hearing before the
Committee on States and Territories
aud there was nearly a personal en-
counter between Representative Pow.
ers Of Maine and delegate Smith Of
Arizona.Y The matter, as such affairs
usually do, ended ia words and any
real decision as to the attitude Of the
House is as far of as ever.
One more urgent demand for feder-
al rate control was registered 10
Washington last week by the Nation
al Board of Trade which passed a
resolution In favor of rate legislation
and even indicated the lines it
thought such control ought to take.
Possibly it might have been wiser to
have left out this specific recommen-
dation. But the action showed the
feeling OF this nationally Important
body that effective legislation was
imperative. The National Board OF
trade recorded itself in favor Of Civ
ing the rate making power to a
special federal court which was to act
on the appeal OF the Interstate Com-
merce Commission. This might look
from one point OF view like simply
doubling the machinery necessary to
Hx a rate. On the other hand 1t
might be considered as putting the
actual rate making power into the
hands OF a judicial body more quail
fled to pass on such a serious question
than is the Interstate Commerce com.
mission itself. That lost would seem
a direct slight on the capacity OF the
Commission and the retort might be
that il the Commission is not heavy
weight body enough to fix rate, q
Commission that is ought To be ap'
pointed.
