powers between the interstate COM
merce commission and state authorities,
occupied todays sessions of the National
Association of Railway commissioners.

William ID. Williams of Texas pre-

fered resolution proposing that
when a rate has been established by
either a state or the federal commits
sion it shall not be set aside unless it
is first declared in court to be con-
fiscatory and within the recognized
prohibition of the constitution against

into three sections, SO that local cases
could be assigned to their proper sec
ton. He proposed that doubtful sec
tlonal questions be certified to the
whole commission.

HEFLIN TALKS ON
RECENT ELECTIONS
Results Distinct Victory for Demo-
Gratis and Augurs Well for the
Party's Success, He Says

Montgomery. November 19.-(Spe-
oial)-Representative J. Thomas Hef-
lin, member of Congress from the Fifth
-dabama district. thinks the recent
general election showed that re-
markable situation obtains throughout
the country. On the whole. he regards
the election as a distinct democratic
victory and he believes the situation
aueurs we'll for the success of the party
in the next presidential election.
Mr. Helm was in Montgomery yes
terday and today, leaving on an aft
ernoon train for his home at Lafay-
cite. While in Montgomery Mr.. Heflin
was conspicuous figure in the lobby
of the Exchange hotel, and he talked
freely with his friends on 4he various
questions of the day.
The representative from the Fifth
district sounded an optimistic note in
discussing the cotton situation
II believe that cotton will go 10 8
cents a pound in few weeks" said
Mr. Helm. Farmers throughout the
south are beginning to appreciate the
fact that diversification of their crops
offers the one certain financial rem
edy and | believe the cotton acreage
in the south will be reduced at least
one-half in 1916 They are turning
their attention to wheat, corn, oa is and
other agricultural products, and with
the assurance that cotton acreage will
be considerably reduced next year, the
cotton spinners of the country will inn
mediately offer. better prices for the
staple ~
Regarding the political situation,
Representative Helm said:
81 think the recent general election
was a remarkable democratic victory
Congress had just passed new tariff
bill, a war tax of more than a billion
collars had been levied, and the entire
country was upset as result of the
war in Europe. When we consider these
circumstances, we must regard the
election as a distinct victory for our
party and I think the situation Is most
favorable for a democratic victory in
the next presidential election
