LAFQl[ETTE TALKS
ON RAILROAD BILL
Support of Cummins Amend
ment Is Earnestly Urged
VALUATION OF ROADS
IuEaIIa4ta Sa aaro. m,
MIR. LaFaIlette Says He VIII Offer an
Amendment Providing for the
General Physical Valuation
of Railroad Lines

Washington, May 25.-'Before the inter
state commerce commission can become
effective it will be necessary to equip it
much more thoroughly than It is at pres
ent equipped" said Senator LaFollette
in the Senate today in the course of a
speech which consumed practically the
entire session
Mr.. LaFollette declared it was neces-
sary to have division of the law and
reconstruction of the commission and
said the country should be divided into
districts in charge of sub-commssion
TO insure an effective service. The Wis
consin senator spoke for almost five
hours in support of the Cummins amend
ment regulating railroad rate increases
and had not concluded when the Senate
adjourned.
The speech had the effect of sidetraek-
ing the effort set on foot yesterday to
obtain a compromise on the basis sug-
gested by Senator Martin, but there was
more or less private discussion of that
provision and the general impression was
that it would be accepted when the vote
| is taken.
| Mr.. LaFollette made two or tire ref
erences to the Martin amendment, indi-
eating opposition to it.
You'd better have the courage to stand
up here and vote the Cummins amend
ment than to dodge the question by re-
sorting to subterfuge," he said.
| Mr.. LaFollette in his speech gave
| much attention to the question of phys
ical valuation of railroads, and said he
would offer an amendment providing for
such valuation.
| Quoting Senator Root as saying that
unreasonable rates could be corrected
| under the present law. he said that
such a statement impeached either the
Intelligence or the candor of the man
who makes it."
Contending that the present railroad
rates are not only unreasonable but
are extortionate, Mr.. LaFollette de-
olared that those who will not con-
sent to giving the commission power
to examine further increases betray the
public interest"
Saying that of the 100000 miles of
railways in the United States the six
great groups controlled 100000 miles,
! Mr.. LaFollette found that there really
was very little variety of interest in
railroad ownership in the United States,
| leaving the control practically in one
gigantic trust. He found Morgan and
| Rockefeller at the head of the entire
fabric, he said, and predicted that ulti-
mately those two names would stand
not only for the financial control but
for the protection of transportation in
| terests.
