RAP FOR RAILROADS
President Advocates Numerous
Changes in Present Scheme
of Regulation.

Des Moines, Iowa. Sept. 29.-ln
a speech delivered here this morning,
the president devoted his time prin-
cipally to railroad rates and the
authority of the interstate commerce
commission. Speaking of the pass
age of rate bills several years ago,
i'm which the interstate commerce
commission was given authority to
fix specific rates, ne said it must now
be admitted the act has not furnish
ed expected relief against discrimin-
alton.
Fayors Tribunal.
1t has been suggested, the presi-
dent said. that court be established
whose decision in appeals from the
commission shall be final. He favor
ed such tribunal, but thought there
should be right of appeal from its
decisions to the highest courts. He
cited the fact a tariff court has been
established mad saw no good reason
why a similar tribunal should not
be provided for in the matter OF rail-
road regulation.
Can F.vadc the Law.
Another suggested change would
give the commission power to hear
and entertain complaints against un-
just claSsifications of merchandise
for transportation. AS it is now d
railroad can. by including articles
in the same class which ought to pay
different rates, commit exactly the
same e.-kind- ininstieer as itzsaiauItt
by imposing exorbitant rates as to
any one class, he said.
should start Cases.
The president expressed the opin-
ion the commission should have
authority to itself. institute com
plant instead of waiting for such
action by parties interested At the
same time he would not give the com
mission absolute power to fix rates in
advance and on their own initiative
and without complaint filed and in
vestigation made as is done in some
states.
Compel Through Routing.
Another amendment, he thought.
should provide that the commission
may by order, suspend, modify, or
annul any changes in rules or reg
ulations, which impose undue bur
dens on shippers. and it would seem
well to empower the commission to
compel connecting carriers to unite
in forming a through route and to
fix the rate any apportionment there
of, among the carriers.
Would Stop Control
The president thought most i'm
portant amendment of the Interstate
commerce law would be a prohibi-
tion against any interstate railroad
company acquiring stock in compet-
ing railroads engaged in interstate
commerce, or after certain date.
holding stock in a competing rail
road. and that the issuance of ad-
ditional stocks and bonds be sub
,.ct to the commission approval
Another provision should be added
by which railroads may be permitted
to agree upon traffic rates and make
contracts with respect TO rates that
shall not be pooling contracts.
In taking up the antitrust law, the
