TRUST fight TO Begin
in SENATE VERY SOON
Senator NewIands May Bring in the
Trade Commission Bill
Today.
PROGRAM MAY TAKE 6 WEEKS

The consideration of trust legislation by
the Senate will begin very soon. II is
likely that the end of another week will
see the Clayton bill and the Reyburn
stocks and bonds bill favOTably reported
to the Senate. The bill creating a Federal
Trade Commission is now on the calendar
of the Senate, and Senator Newlands has
given notice that as soon as the Indian
appropriation bill has been disposed Of,
probably today, he will ask that the
trade commission bill he made the Unfin-
shed business, to be kept before the
Senate 10 the exclusion of other business,
excepting only the routine morning pro-
gram and necessary appropriation bills.
The Federal Trade Commission bill will
be the nucleus for the legislative pro-
gram on trusts in the Senate. 1t is the
plan to offer the Clayton bill and other
trust bills as amendments to the trade
commissioY/ bill. 80 that all the debate
may be hah on a single measure, in order
to expedite the passage of the legislation.
OF the general appropriation bills it Is
likely that the rivers and harbors bill
will lead to the longest debate. 1t is
before the Senate on a majority and min
ority report As the bill passed the
House, carrying about $0,O0O.O00 in ap-
propriations, il was denounced as pork
barrel measure. But the Senate COM
Illlltt went anu ONNi }A"F-
600 900 to the budget. and this has aroused
much opposition, and Senator Burton,
of Ohio. will lead a fight against the
bill, and there are signs Of filibuster
to prevent its passage.
The lowest estimates of the time re-
quired to pass the trust legislation in the
Senate is six weeks. This would carry
the debate well into August, and the
most conservative estimates as to the
date of adjournment of Congress fix
August 3.

Believing Congress will consider 1t ad-

Sufg. Gen. Rupert Blue. Of the Public

BILLION DOLLARS BY
BONDS FOR GOOD ROADS
Measure to Be Reported This Week
Proposes Issuance of Cerih-
Gates by States.
WILL BE GUARANTEED BY U. S.

One billion dollars. to be raised by the
sale of State bonds guaranteed by the
Federal government, will be spent for
good roads II a bill which will be favor
ably reported to Senate by the Postohace
and Post Roads Committee this week is
passed.
The Senate committee has practically
agreed TO report out a measure along the
lines proposed by former Senator Jona-
than Bourne. Of Oregon. il was learned
yesterday.
Despite the scoffinE at its financial
methods. the plan has won the approval
of Senator John ". Weeks. Of Massachu-
setts. and Of many other Senators on the
Postof1ce and Post Roads Committee
ida, a prominent member of the Senate
Committee on Appropriations
Decision to approve this bill was
reached through the constant objections
TO the ShacklefOrd bill. that il was not
fair to the States which have already
spent millions to improve their roads.
and which do not need any Federal aid
in building good roads.
Senators from these States particularly
Senator MARITIME. Of New Jersey, which
has spent millions in constructing a
wonderful system of highways. urged
that their States should not be taxed
to build good roads in other communities
Each States share Of the billion Of
dollars Of bonds would be determined
upon the basis OF area, population. as
sessed valuation. and road mileage.
Should the State issue its bonds with
out the Federal guarantee Senator Mar
tine said, lit would have to pay about
per cent interest, while I am confident
that the government can obtain the
money by placing its guarantee on the
bonds at from ala to 254 per cent.
On u.ooo.O 900 this difference in inter-
est charges would be enormous ] am
convinced that there Is plenty OF money
seeking an absolutely safe investment in
the country to take up such an issue OF
bonds at those interest charges
Under the plan OF distribution among
the States Of the amounts which the gov
ernment would guarantee under the bill.
New York could issue y7s.6 .OOO of bonds
guaranteed by the government. Illinois,
