CHANGES IN RATE
BILL BY FRIENDS
a -
Continued From First Page

In the first place it will aim to pro-
vide that carriers, whose case is
brought before the Interstate commerce
commission, shall have the right to file
suit in equity against the commission
as defendant to assert and for the
purpose OF protecting. any right guar
anteed to the railroads by the consti-
tuition. Immediately upon the filing Of
this suit the court will be required to
result the court will also be deemed to
BE- open and the case will proceed with
cut formal pleadings in equity, and will
take precedence OF all other cases be
fore the court.
Then the amendment will provide
that the plaintiff, which will be the
railroad in each case, will be required
to file with it's petition for review GER
titled copies Of the conclusions and the
order of the Interstate commerce COM
mission. The acts of the commission
shall be presumed to have been lawfully
made and shall be deemed correct I'M
less and until the contrary is deter
mined.
Burden of Proof.
This means, of course, that the bur-
den of proof Immediately will be placed
upon the railroads. The decision of the
WILL .SCctuu uuCll Ou6 lhAlA OdO
has produced sufficient evidence to up
set it on a fair hearing. : H
Furthermore, the amendment will pro
vide that appeals shall lie directly to
the supreme court Of the United States
and they must be promptly taken. These
appeals will not suspend any action of
the circuit court confirming any action
Of the commission, so that if the rail
road is beaten in the lower court the
rate fixed by the commission will stand
until the supreme court Of the United
States has finally passed upon the case
Most important Of all will be that
section Of the proposed amendment
which provides that no restraining OF
introductory orders shall be granted on
any ex-parte affidavit.
Furthermore, it will be evident from
the wording of the amendment that the
government in each case, as represented
by the Interstate commerce commission
will be party to the suit, and the ship
per who made the original complaint
will not be compelled to bear the bur
den Of the cost Of litigation.
Before the amendment finally II
drawn, other features may be intro
duced, but those given above represent
the point Of view Of the administration
and the friends Of the Hepburn bill al
it has been formulated by series Of
conferences

evening in the municipal court case
against E. e. Townsend, charged with re-

The penalty is a fine not to exceed $500
or not to exceed ninety days in Jail.
This is a case which has been strenu-
ously pushed by the local health depart
ment and the state live stock sanitary
board on one side, and as energetically
defended by Mr.. Townsend. The local
