GIFTS TO POLITICS
SUBJECT OF BRIEF
Commerce Commission Claims
Right to Know Railway
Contributions.

Tho right Of the interstate commerce
commission to inquire into the political
expenditures of railroad was upheld
today in a brief filed in tho District Of
Columbia Supreme Court by Chief
Counsel Folk in tho commissions
action to compel President Milton n.
Smith Of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad to testify in regard to that
carriers campaign contributions.
Mr.. Smith refused to answer ques-
tions propounded by tho commission
during an Investigation based on a
Senate resolution. Resort was had to
the courts to compel answers.
Mr.. Smith. in a brief filed several
weeks ago, contended that expendi-
ture OF funds by a railroad official for
ter, and that 1t was beyond the power
of the commission to go into such
questions.
Arguments Of Government.
The brief filed by Mr.. Folk denies
that campaign contributions by car
rier can be considered private. and says
the commission has authority to in
quire into any railroad expenditures.
THE commission, under the powers
delegated to 1t by Congress through
the act to regulate commerce." says the
brief. has a legal right and is sub
ject to the legal duty to be informed as
to carrier expenditures and 1t is a
step toward the abuses of the past for
any carrier serving the public to at
tempt to keep them secret. That Sc
crecy in the matter of expenditures and
rates has been the principal source of
evils IN the railroad business cannot
be denied
Corruption, discrimination and ia
voritism breed in the dark and shun the
light. The evils to be fairly apprehend-
ed from the governmental information
as to the expenditures of the funds of
interstate carriers are not to be COM
