STRENGTHENING -HE RAIL

It has been decided by the Senate
leaders and agreed TO by President Taft
70 change the railroad bill in important
particulars. Sections : and y are 70

capitalization features win Re elimi-
mated, though no positive ayr ment as
to them has been reached
Section : OF the bill Is the one which
provides for the making OF traffic
agreements by railroads Section u
relates TO the merging Of lines Both
Of these sections have called forth no
end Of discussion and have excited bit
ter condemnation As 70 section Z, It
has been freely charged n both houses
that IN its original form it nuIlifed

ened 10 pass It would have been Of no
protection whatever 70 the public and

It Is not unlikely the capitalization
provisions OF the bill also viii be
stricken out. While there are many
reasons for Government control OF
capitalization, forceful objections have
been urged to the language Of the pend

misfortune TO pass any legislation on

revenues Of the District alone. The
Senate insists that half be paid from
the District revenues and half by the
