RATE LEGISLATION.
n Plea for Prompt Action, EUen on
a Modified Bill.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

10 the Editor of The Tribune:
Sir; Senator Aldrich's statement may rea-
sonably be interpreted indicating early
agreement between the President and the Senate
leaders on the Railroad Rate bill.
Assuming, however for the sake of argu-
ment, that there still remains in controversy the
question as to whether not rates fixed by the
commission shall remain In allegiance until the
courts shall pass upon the questions involved,
when such appeals shall be taken. what then?
If the President is able to persuade the Senate
to pass the Hepburn bill 1t stands. we'll and
good. hope that he will succeed But If there
serious difficulties in the way of an imme
diate passage of the bill. unamended. would 1t
really be worth while to continue the fight over
this point? If the President sees fit to con-
cede the demand OF some of the Senators, ne
would be charged in certain quarters with BACK
ing down. and should find this assertion
trumpeted forth with great heat, especially by
those who hopeful that the President ana
the Senate may become embroiled and the Ike
publican party discredited We could look for
ward with confidence TO stentorian declarations
that an amendment TO the bill as suggested
would virtually nullify It by permitting the
railroad companies TO tie UP in the courts in
definitely every ruling and act of the commas
sion
That might be true If Congress in passing
the Railroad Rate bill. amended or unamendeo'
were to surrender all right to further considera-
ton of the question. OF course, Congress can't
and won't DO anything of the kind The great
thing now is to have put into the statute book
recognition of the right of the federal govern
ment to supervise railroad rates. That DONE
the advocates of it could we'll afford to put
around the measure all the safeguards asked Tor
by the most timid capitalists. They could pass
the amended bill, and in doing so say to the
railroad companies:
You claim that It would be disastrous ID
lodge in any body the arbitrary power 10 Tx
rates and have them Immediately effective. re-
gardIess of conditions. You assure US that the
non-enforcement Of new rate schedules pending
an appeal TO the courts is not intended to be
used in a dilatory way. but more especially as
a guarantee against sudden and unexpected
changes. You seem 10 be sincere in declaring
your intention to accept the law IN good talth
and your purpose TO help rather than hlhoer
its enforcement
We'll, we shall take all that at its face Nalue
and put in the amendment that you desire:
Rut Won must bear in mind that the eyes OF
Congress and the whole country VIII be upon
YOU and that substantial evidence or bad ialth
on your part will lead Immediately to an ellfnl-
nation OF the amendment which we are no"
putting in, and the law may DC Hldue e'0E'
stringent"
That would put 1t straight up TO the railroad
companies and they could not get away from

CAMPAIGN PUBLICITY.
Perry Belmont Explains Bill AdUo-
Gated by His Committee.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In The Tribunes report Of the hearing
held before the Assembly judiciary Committee
at Albany yesterday Mr.. Low is reported as
saying: The chief difference between our bills
and that proposed by the Belmont committee is
that our bills aim to stop corruption by obtain
ing publicity on the part of those who spend the
money, while the other measure demands pub
licity on the part of those who contribute it."
MI Low seems to be unaware Of the fact that
the State bill advocated b. the Newly DIRK State
organization with which I associated re-
qunes publicity not only in regard TO contr1bu-
tions but also in regard to expenditures by po-
Htical committees. The purpose of our organiza-
TONS State and national. is to promote the
passage of "A federal law requiring publicity Of
contributions and Of expenditures on the part
Of national and congressional committees, TO be
supplemented by State laws, uniform pos
sbe, requiring similar publicity the part of
State and local campaign committees. Uniform
ity Of legislation and regulation upon this sub
jeCt is necessary, and for that reason our law
committees, national and State, have kept this
important object in view in the preparation of
the bills introduced in Congress and in the New
York State Legislature. PERRY BELMONT.
