ALDRICH FAVORS
A TARIFF BOARD
Will Urge Legislation Before
Finance Committee.

The passage OF n bill by the Senate
commission is favored by Senator Aldrieh,
the chairman OF the Finance Committee
who announced that legislation with that
object in view would be considered by
his committee at meeting TO be held to-
day.
This declaration from the Rhode Island
Senator in favor Of tariff commission
was the result, of a series Of questions
propounded by Senator Beveridge. of In
diana. in the course Of a speech in the
Senate yesterday. The Indiana Senator
was disposed % be critical OF the Senate
for nOnaction with reference 10 his bill
for the creation of "a permanent non
partisan tariff commission.
He called attention % the fact that he
first introduced a bill for the establish
ment of this commission three years ago,
and that he had reinuoduced the meas
ure several times since. He also spoke
Of having made reply TO criticisms to this
tariff commission idea, which he said
came from cloak room conversations.
When Informed by Senator Aldrich
that he would ask the Finance Commit
tee at the meeting to-day % consider
favorably the bill for the creation OF a
tariff commission, Senator Beveridee re-
Piled "That is as satisfactory as the
present exigencies OF the situation will
permit
1t is the hope OF many Senators" con-
tinued the Indiana Senator. "that the
Senate will take early and favorable
action on this subject
Il am In favor Of the creation OF this
commission" replied Senator Aldrich.
and I shall urge favorable action al the
meeting OF the committee tomorrow"
Il could not ask for a more agreeable
expression than that" beamed Senator
Beveridge.

KNAPP'S TRANSFER
PLEASES SHIPPERS
Judicial Shake-up Brings
Hope to Interests.

The action Of President Taft in trans
ferring Chairman knapp. Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, 10 the Court
Of Commerce and failing 10 reappoint
Commissioner COckrelI has pleased the
shipping interests, and apparently has
not gratihed the attorneys representing
the railroads. Chairman Knapp. in the
recent taking OF testimony in the rate
advance cases aroused the criticism Of
the shippers by making a speech in New
York which they construed as faVoring
the proposed increases. Commissioner
CockreA has always been considered as
an extremely conservative commissioner.
,The appointment of b. II. Meyer. now
chairman OF the railroad commission of
Wisconsin, 10 succeed Chairman Knapp,
has been received with acclaim by the
progressive Republicans. The naming of
c. c. McChord, OF Kentucky, at one tire
a member of the Kentucky railroad com
mission, also is hailed by the shipping
interests with considerable satisfaction.
Prof. Meyer was appointed to the Wis
cOnsin State railroad commission by La
Toilette when he was governor Of that
State.
Insurgents in the Senate are pleased
at the prospect of the new lineup of
the commission. They say the new COM
mission win be progressive
VIII Vote for Chairman.
The selection of a chairman Of the COM
mission to succeed Mr.. Knapp has
aroused considerable speculation. The
chairman is chosen by the commission
itself. If the vote is on party lines, Com
missioner Clark. who is a Republican.
viii probably be elected. II the selection
is made on a basis of seniority Commits
sioner Clements, a Democrat, viii be
chosen: and if party lines and seniority
rules are ignored, Commissioner Lane. a
Democratic member. probably will be Sc
lected, as he is popular with his asso-
ciates and is regarded as one of the ablest
Of tks commissioners,
Both Commissioner Lane and Commits
sioner Prouty were offered the chief judg
ship of the Commerce Court, but both de-
clined.
The chairman OF the commission win
also be a member of the Erdman arbitra-
ton board The Erdman act names the
chairman Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the Commissioner Of La
Dor as the mediators in the settlement of
controversies between common carriers
and their employees. Within the past
eighteen months Chairman Knapp and
Commissioner of Labor NELL have ofiici-
ated IN mediation proceedings in which
several hundred thousand railroad en-
ployes have received Increases in wages.
Both Chairman Knapp and Commits
sioner Coclrell sat in the taking of tes-
timony in the pending railroad rate adj
vance cases, and there has been some
speculation as to whether their elimina-
ton from the commission before these
cases are disposed of would cause com
plications officials of the commission
declare that sue, essors to both Chairman
Knapp and COMMISSIONS Cockren can
with propriety SIT III these cases. They
say that Messrs. Meyer and McChord win
have before them fun record Of the
testimony taken, and. in addition, if con-
frned by that time. win hear the final
arguments, which begin January 9.
