.LAFOLLETTE IN
SENATE SPEECH.
REASONABLE RAIL RATES HELD
NECESSARY BY WISDOM
SIN SENATOR.

Washington, May 25.-"There is not
one line in the statutes to give to the
people reasonable railroad rates." de-
clared Senator LaFollette in the SEN
ate today "All that has been accom-
plished,' he said, "is to afford means
of giving equal rates to shippers. ;"
The interest of the shipper was by
no means the interest of the general
public and he declared the people gen
orally were as much entitled to pro-
lection as shippers, The senator con-
tinued at length and spoke in support
! of the Cummins amendment requiring
prior approval by the interstate COM
merce commission Of increases in
rates.
Whether the administration railroad
bill shall prohibit fiat increases In
rates without the approval of the in
terstate commerce commission or
shall extend to six months the time
during which the commission may sus-
pend increased rates is the question
now before the senate.
Arguments in favor of the Cummins
provision by it's author and by SEN
ators Borah and Dolliver, have been
made. The general contention was
that such requirement was neces-
sary for the protection of the ship
pers. This argument was challenged
by other senators, and there was gen
eral debate, in which Senators Cum
minis, Dolliver. Borah, Aldrich, Flint,
Rayner, Hepburn, William Alden
Smith, Martin, Clark of Arkansas,
Clay and Jones participated.
The suggestion for the extension Of
the time during which the commission
may suspend rates for investigation
was made by Senator Martin in the
course of Mr.. Cummins' speech. His
proposition was that the Cummins
provision should be amended by in
sorting a provision requiring that "a
final decision shall be rendered with
in six months
A caucus of Republican members of
the house on the postal savings banks
bill will be held tonight. Less than a
Dozen, all insurgents" have declined
to sign the caucus call.

pupil. Saw Parade; Suspended.

Harlan, May 25.-Because over 10C
students of the high school and the
lower grades were tardy at school
Friday afternoon, on account of hav
ing stayed down town to witness the
parade of dog and pony show, Sup
erintendent Henry P. Nielsen, of the
city schools, locked all the school
house doors and would not allow the
students to enter the building when
they came later. He then ordered all
suspended until his further order.
The town is wrought up over his
action and the parents Of many Of the
children will take hand in the affair,
as great many of the children had
their parents permission to remain
away from school long enough to wit
ness the parade. The school board
will be asked by the parents to rein
state the children at once.
