The year also presented several
important decisions of moment to the
railroads by the interstate commerce
commission. In the Denver and Spo
kane rate cases the commission held
that the rates to certain interior
points were too high as compared
with rates to distant points governed
by water competition, although recog-
nizing water competition ana it's eff
feet upon the rate structure.
The commission likewise ordered
the Portland gateway to be opened,
holding that a company, although Of
fering adequate service over it's own
lines, could not try to compel the
public to travel over its lines by re-
fusing to make all reasonable joint
arrangements with some other COM
peting line

er and the perfection of ways and
structures has also led to some i'm

TAFT'S RAILROAD
BILL A POSER
AFTER BEING AMENDED MEETS
MORE OPPOSITION THAN
BEFORE.
NOBODY SATISFIED WITH 1T,
EVERYBODY TAKES KICK
AT 1T.

Washington, April 2.-Widely di-
verging views on regulative control
of common carriers, including
split in the minority presentation,
are expressed in reports which ac-
companied the submission of the ad-
ministration railroad bill to the house
by the interstate commerce commit
tee yesterday.
The measure, as drafted by the at
torney general at the instance OF
President Taft and introduced by
Representative Townsend of Michi-
gan, and transformed by radical
changes in the house committee in a
substitute measure, already is being
debated in the senate. Mr.. Mann,
sponsor for the bill, may try to set
date for action by the house Mon
day
The ma.urity report, which Chair
man Mann signed with other repub-
lican members, endorses the plan TO
establish a commerce court to Gen.
tralize the authority and jurisdiction
of the circuit courts in one commerce
court; forbids the purchase or lease
of the capital stock of a directly or
substantially competitive railroad or
water line; forb DIS the same person
serving on competing dirctorates;
permits corporations to make prelim-
mary agreements and then file a petl-
ton with the commerce court for per-
mission to carry out the agreement;
prohibits railroads from issuing
stocks or bonds except upon applica.
! ton to the commission; authorizes
| traffic agreements under certain con
!, ditions; prohibits agreements for
! pooling or division of earnings, under
| penalty; forbids rebates and author
ICES the commission to establish

of doubtful constitutional character

an end to this.

Washington. April 2.-Three fac
tons of the mouse committee Oil
public lands yesterday pulled ana
hauled at the administration bill Tor
tne withdrawal of public lands for
conservat on purposes. Republicans
of the public land states, who object
to any change OF policies and repuC
lican followers of the modern con-
servation program could not come To
an agreement between the two bills.
In the end the democrats de
nounced both measures as designed
to give present and past administra
tons clean bills of health in relation
to the conduct of the land laws. They
introduced a bill of their own.
The republicans were divided in
their support of the bill introduced in
the senate by Mr. Nelson, which
would give the president absolute au
thority to withdraw public lands fol
conservation purposes or classification
and the house bill of Mr.. Pickett OF
Iowa, which would accomplish the
same purpose and validate past with
drawals.
1t was reported last night that Mr.
Pickett will move to eliminate fnat
