single dissenting republican vote tho
house today passed the railroad bill,
one of the chief measures President
Taft wished enacted at the present
session of congress, by 200 1" 126.
Fourteen democrats Joined the ma
jority.
President Taft tonight said he was
deeply gratlfied over the passage of
the measure. lie was especially
pleased with the comfortable majority
by which the commerce. cTnrt
feature was kept In the bill, for he
regards this court as probably the
most important step In the proposed
law.
Referring to the clause providing for
the physical valuation of railroads
Mr. Taft pointed out that power now
practically rests with the Interstate
commerce commission, and that the
difficulty in carrying out such "a plan
always has been found In the enor-
nous cost of the undertaking.
When all the amendments adopted
by the house, while in committee of
the whole. had been agreed TO, Mr.
Adamson of Georgia, senior ieino-
cratic member of the minority on the
committee representing the bill, moved
to re-commlt 1t with instructions that
IL be restored back with the COM
merce court clause stricken out THIS
motion was defeated l57 to l16.
The bill makes many changes in the
existing law that. II accepted by the
senate. will greatly affect interstate
commerce.
The court of commerce Is created
to adjudicatc cases on appeal from the
interstate commerce commission. IL
IN provided this court shall he or
ganizcd by the justice Of the suWcne
court. future appointments to meln-
bership in the court to be made by
them.
Stock and bond issues of railroads
are controlled by the bill. Under this
clause, railroad before issuing any
additional stock must obtain an order
from the commission which must
among other things, fix the price AT
which the securities of the road may
be sold. A similar provision ~ car
ricd In respect TO railroads organized
through the courts. \ provision IL
made that upon the reorganization
of a railroad through court proceed
ings, stocks and bonds cannot be Is
sued for more than fair value OF the
property.
The long and short haul clause of
the measure provides "A railroad can
not, without first gaining PERMISSION,
charge more for a short than Tor a
long haul over the same line.

that the effect Of enactment into law
OF the Dixon long and short haul
amendment to the railroad bill would
be the destruction OF trade centers.
Senator Piles today continued his
speech in the senate in opposition to
that provision.
Speaking of conditions In his own
state. Mr.. Piles contended that S"'-
kane. which city has been one OF the
most pronounced complainants against
the present system. would suffer rath-
er than gain under change along the
lines of the Dixon amendment.
Mr.. Piles undertook to show that the
adoption of the long and short haul
amendment by forcing up rates and
increasing water transportation would
cause the transcontlnental railways
to abandon the coast business.
The assertion was challenged by
Messrs. Dixon and Smoot. Coming
into the controversy Mr.. Elkins de-
clared that the pending amendment
tears down and destroys the business
of the country.

The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1910-05-11

The debate started promptly at $50
o'clock in the assembly hall at the
university. Dr. G.. y. Reynolds, as
president of the high school debating
league. acted as chairman. The first
speaker was Walter Wilson Of Jeffer-
son county. a slight. fourteen year old
boy. whose ability as a debater was a
surprise to the audience.
In opening the debate for the AFFIRM
atlve. Mr.. Wilson outlined the argu-
ment which his side intended 10 fol-
low in the debate. He skilfully laid
out course of action and defined the
qU estion. He then went on to show
where the present system OF electing
United States senator's was deficient.
The method. he said, was suggested
by the constitutional committee in or
der that social position and property
wealth might be made the basis for
membership In the upper house, the
only pattern known to the lawmakers
at that time being the House Of Lords
In England. He went to show how
the changing years have made this
plan a useless one and how the de-
mand for change has arisen. He said
that the invention Of the telegraph and
the daily newspaper have made the
people capable Of electlng their own
Representatives. The principal defect
Of the present system, he said. is the
deadlock" To support this argument
he pointed out on chart the states
In which deadlocks and no-elections
have occurred
Wilson was followed by lack Lay
ton, who opened the debate for thf
negative. Layton stated that the a..
firmatiye would have to prove ina
the very evident abuses existing und.
the present system would be abolished
by the election of senator's by popular
vote and that there Is no simpler
method by which the same good re
suits might be obtained. He then sale
that bribery and similar faults ex
listing at present were all crimes com
