RATE BILL AMENDMENTS.

Washington, Dec. S.-Several i'm portant amendments to the Hepburn railroad rate law were proposed in bills introduced today by Representative Townsend of Michigan. one of the most active advocates of remedial leg islation along interstate commerce lines.
 One of the bills gives to the inter state commerce commission power to prohibit the tacking on an advance of rates in cases where shippers individ- ually or collectively protest against the advance, prior to the expiration of the legal thirty days notice. The bill places the burden on the carrier to show at a subsequent hearing that the proposed rates are just and reason able.
 Representative Townsend also would give the shipper the right and priv ilege of routing and prescribing the connecting lines the shipment should take.
 Another amendment provides that carriers shall quote rates in writing upon publication and give rates upon bills of lading and the rates be reck- oned thereon. In the event error is made in the rate it is provided that claims for recovery shall be made only through the interstate commerce commission.

Happily there is at present no cloud upon our horizon but that very fact affords us the best opportunity to proceed with de- liberation and care in the preparation of laws adequate and indispensable for our possible war needs"
 It is pointed out by the president that the proposed measure would not call for dollar of expenditure dur ing years of peace and its enactment into law now would merely be to place at the disposal of the executive, the power and machinery whereby, should war threaten, the means to wage it could be swiftly brought into being"
 The proposed bill is elastic; under it's provisions a force of 2,000,000 men could be raised as well as one of 5O.O00.
