B. & o. Launches Campaign
Against Dangerous Crossings.

Washington, Aug. 10.-The right of
the interstate commerce commission to
inquire into the political expenditures
of a railroad was. upheld in a brief
filed today in the District of Columbia
supreme court by Joseph w. Folk in
the commissions action to compel
President Milton H. Smith of the
Louisville & Nashville railroad to tes-
tify in regard to carriers campaign
contributions. Mr.. Smith refused to
answer questions propounded by the
commission in an investigation based
on a senate resolution and resort was
had to the courts to compel answers.
Mr.. Smith, in a brief filed several
weeks ago, commended that expenditure
of funds by a railroad official for pro-
lection purpose was a private matter
and that it was beyond the power OF
the commission to go into such ques-
tions.
The brief filed by Folk denies that
campaign contributions by a carrier
can be declared private and says the
commission has authority to inquire
into any railroad expenditure.
The commission under the powers
delegated to it by congress thru the
act to regulate commerce." says the
brief, has a legal right and subject
to the legal duty to be informed as to
carrier expenditures, ana IL is q step
toward the abuses of the past for
carrier serving the public to attempt
to keep them secret. That secrecy in
the matter of expenditures and rates
has been the principal source. of evils
in the railroad business cannot be
denied Corruption, discrimination and
favoritism breed IN the dark and shun
the light. The evils to be apprehended
fairly from the governmental infornna-
ton as to the expenditures of the funds
or interstate carriers are not to be
compared with the evils that would
surely result from secrecy.
There can be no effective regula-
ton of interstate carriers if they may
keep their expenditures covered up.
| Without information regulation would
be impotent and blind.
The operation of a railroad is not
the private concern of those who run
it but it is subject to the public use
and government regulation and gov
| ornamental visitation. There can be
nothing private or confidential in the

CONGRESS ARMY BILL FAVORS
 l75,000
This Number of Regulars and 100000 National Guard Re serves May Be Provided for Next Week.
(By Review Leased Wire,

WASHINGTON, May 9. - Agree ment on the army reorganization bill was in sight tonight. Conferees of the Senate and the House. who will renew deliberations tomorrow expect that the first of the big defense meas ures may be on the Presidents desk next week.
 That the Senate conferees would have to surrender the volunteer army reserve of 261 ,000 men which the House so strongly repudiated. was ad- mitted tonight by Senate leaders. The Senate conferees believe it would be useless to hold out longer for the vol unteer army in view of the House in sistence that the national guard should constitute the main reserve military defense force.
 Under the House bill as it stands thousands of civilian training camps might be instituted under direction of the secretary of war.
 It was predicted today that the con ferees would agree on a regular stand ing army with a peace strength of
 
 ate expansive organization system which would make possible recruiting to a strength of 220.000 in time of need. The House bill provides for peace strength of 10000 and the Sen ate bill for peace strength of 250.000 The conferees also are expected to agree to the main feature of the House bill, regarding the reorganiza ton and Liberalization of the national guard for a defense reserve of approx imately 100000 men.
 The House amendments for ni trate plant will probably be accepted. Under it s20,000,000 would be appro- priated for a plant to be operated ex- clusively by the government. Agree ment on minor features of the bill. such as military training in schools and colleges and organization details, is expected without much delay. g,
