GREATER POWER
TO COMMISSION
Representative NJ a id G n
Comes to Aid Of Shippers
on Railways.

Commenting on the report Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission regard
ing the general increase of freight rates
IA the past two years, Representative
Madden (Rep.. III today expressed the
opinion that the remedy lies in giving
the commission more power.
''The commission should be granted
authority" he said, "to pass upon rates
before they go into effect AS matters
stand a railroad may increase its rates
at pleasure. The individual shipper is
afraid to make complaint because Il
would subject him TO persecution by the
railroad. BY the time a large number
of shippers can organize TO fight an
unreasonable rate and hearings are con-
Quoted by the commission and the mat
ter goes into court. several years elapse.
I'm the meantime dozens of other
questions arise and the commission is
liable TO inquire, when the old case is
called up, what IL Is all about. The
railroads should be prevented from rails
ing a rate until they have convinced
the Interstate Commerce Commission
that the increase is necessary

Senator Bacon of Georgia has come
to the front I'm the discussion of the
District bill as a champion of the UNI

Because of the fact the District bill
contains provision for the increase of

EXPOSE OF SECRET
SERVICE AIDS CRIME
Recent Developments Reveal That the Organization is
Not So Far-Reachng After All, and Counterfeting
Is On Immense Increase

But the veil has been drawn. The Sc
cTeJ Service stands out as a pitiIuiy
small and decidedly human institution.
There are something less than seventy
men in the force directed from the
Washington headquarters. When the
counterfeiters get right busy there IS
small chance for this force to keep them
all rounded up. 1T is said that couh-
terfeiters themselves have a pretty thor
OUgh organization and information de-
partment which keeps tab on the Gov
eminent detectives.
For many years, whenever a capture
of cOunterfeiteTs has been made II na9
been the policy to surround the aIIan
with all possible glamour, TO MAKE d.
appear the result of Sherlock Holmes
processes of intellect and the demonsjfa-
ltIOu Of more than simple human phys
iCal courage The newspapers have al
ways been able TO secure fine stories
of such affairs, which spread terror
among the people who haC beJhOusES
themselves that the conversion or ~
cents worth of silver into iOo-cent DOL
lar ought to be a paying enterprise
But the terror IS wearing on, now ina
offenders know the naked truth anu
COunterfeitinR is going on at an unpre-
Cedented rate.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1909-02-05

The country has been finding out too
much about the Secret Service,
This is the explanation given by repre-
seutatives of the service for the i'm
mense increase in CoUnterfejting. There
Is always tendency TO such increase
an times of business depression but it
is at present worse than ought 10 be
expected from current business coudl-
tions. and the explanation is that the
terror of the Secret Service has been
dissipated by development of facts
about the limited force and means at
the disposal of the service chief, who is
charged with suppression of counter
feitiug.
II has been the deliberate policy to
make the Secret Service Just as awful
and mysterious as possible. EvildOers
have been taught to fear it as they
would the vast and faT-Tamifyiug secret
police Of Russia. They have been led
to believe that almost anybody might
be a Secret Service man, and especially
have they been encouraged to assume
that Secret Service people were super
human in their skill and cleverness in
feTTeting out crime.

NEW POLICY IS URGED
IN PURCHASING FARMS
Western Senator Favors Gradu-
ated Payments by the
Settlers.

A new policy in,the Reclamation Serv-
ice providing for graduated payments
for lands taken up by settlers so that
the products Of the lands may help TO
pay for them. was urged today on Sec
rotary of the Interior Garfield by SEN
ator Fulton of Oregon.
Senator Fulton was accompanied by
S. A. Smith, OF klamath Falls ore, a
district that has recently been reclaimed
by the Reclamation Service. The pres
ent law provides that the land shall be
paid for in ten annual installmeuts, the
total price To be $50 per acre
The klamath people want the install
meuts graduated 50 that the first few
years payments will be small The
matter is under consideration.

Tor Government clerks, he would sup
port it gladly.
I viii sly to the Senator" said Sen
ator Galliser, that all through the
bin there are salaries that are utterly
inadequate, as S120 a year for a young
Taan performing clerical service or as
a telephone operator. The salaries
ought TO be- increased, but the commit
tee did not feel in view Of circum-
stances I do not care to discuss, like
taking up the entire matter and max
ing an advance all along the line"
