MUST BE REASONABLE.
Railroad Companies to Make Show
ing as to Rate Changes.

Railroad companies must show that
changes in rates or rules and regulations
proposed by them are just and reasonable
before being able to put such changes in
effect, if a bill which has been introduced
by Representative Needham of California
Is enacted into law.
The bill amends the act to regulate COM
merce so as to give the shippers every
opportunity to receive fair treatment with
regard to increases in rates. BY its pro-
visions the interstate commerce commits
sion. in it's discretion. may issue an order
continuing the existing rates and rules
whenever changes are proposed until a
hearing has been held and decision rem
dered by the commission.
The amendment gives the shippers the
right to file protest against any pro-
posed changes within thirty days after
the notice of such changes has been for
warded to the commission by the rail-
roads. The commission may then issue
a continuing order until the lawfulness
and reasonableness of the proposed
changes have been determined.

PREPARE FOR EXTRA SESSION
SENATE AND HOUSE MEMBERS
GETTING READY FOR TARIFF.
Expect Issue Of Proclamation March
4 Calling on Congress to Assemble
18th of the Month.

Preparations for the extra session OF
Congress in March are beginning to &C.
cupy the attention of members of the
House and Senate. 1t is assumed that
President Taft will issue his proclamation
March 4. calling the extra session for
the fifteenth of that month. 1t has not
lation other than that affecting the tariff
shall be taken up at the extra session.
The compelling fact in this connection
is that leaders in both House and Senate
are convinced that the business interests
Of the country require that tariff agfta-
ton shall be settled at the earliest pos
sible moment 1t is due the manufac-
turers. the Importers. the jobbers and re-
tailers as well as the laboring men, to
know as soon as possible what the rates
Of duty are to be, so that business can
adjust itself accordingly.
Purpose Of the Speaker.
Speaker Cannon Is especially deter
expedite settlement Of the tariff. That
consideration will govern him in decid-
ing whether to appoint the full list Of
committees. If there is reasonable pros
pect Of early agreement on the tariff his
colleagues in the House will urge him to
be slow In appointing committees and in
ter1ecting miscellaneous legislation. which
might delay Congress. However, If it
should become apparent that Congress Is
to be here all summer and into the fall,
there will undoubtedly be pressure upon
him to appoint some committees for the
transaction OF general business. All are
agreed. however, to keep constantly in
view the main object of the extra ses-
sion-the revision OF the tariff.
There have been rumors that some of
the appropriation bills might be allowed
to go over to the extra session. There IL
at present, however. no indication of such
necessity. The appropriation bills are
in comparatively good shape for this stage
Of the short session. and there do not
seem to be signs of serious trouble or dis
agreement between the two houses on
any of them.

FIGHTS ON ELECTRIC CARS

ing to Furnish to the Railway
Company Any Number of Men.

Patrons Of the Falls Church electric

sylvania avenue. are making a fight
against the disorder and rioting which,
they claim. occurs on the late cars al
most every Saturday night Fights
among the passengers and the throwing
Of stones through the windows are not
uncommon.
Prosecution Authorizes Statement.
Crandall Mackey, the prosecuting at
torney for Alexandria county, was Ques-
toned. and said: Throwing a stone in a
car is felony in Virginia, and 1 have
half dozen men in the penitentiary now
for just that offense. l always prosecute
these cases whenever l can get hold of
them, and while ] have not heard any
thing recently about disorder on the 18th
street branch Of the Falls Church road, l
know that about a year ago I sent a man
up for year for throwing a rock into a
car. and shortly before that two other
men were sent up for two years each.
You know that under the law in Vir-
ginia the deputies are not paid, and an
officer OF that sort is not going to spend
his time riding on the cars for nothing.
But II the railroad wants to pay a man
$40 month for that sort of duty / can
give them a fine man. or several of them,
and they will break up that sort Of thing
very quickly.
ALSO. under the laws of Virginia the
conductors and motormen are special Off
GERS. with the right to carry weapons and
make arrests. They can also call on any
citizen to assist them, and if he refuses
1t Is a misdemeanor. If the conductors
want to they can break up that sort Of
thing themselves. and I Will furnish the
railroad any number of men who will be
glad of the job. and will introduce order
on the cars very soon"
