SHERMAN SEES
RAILWAY TRICK
SAYS 'SPO1TlNG' CHARGE WOULD
BOLSTER UP, FEDERAL CON.
troll OF ROADS.

Washington, D. c., March 11.-Pro-
visions inserted by senate and house
conferees in the railroad control bill
which would limit the powers Of the
states to tax railroads during the per
iod of government operation, drew at
tacks from both sides of the senate
chamber today.
Senator Frelinghuysen of New Jer-
sey asserted that both the senate and
the house had adopted a clause pro-
viding that the states taxing powers
should not be interfered with and that
the conferees had exceeded their
authority.
The conferees stipulated that states
shall not tax the railroads in greater
ratio than their taxes bore to the
total of state taxes during the year
previous to federal control.
Senator Knox said that governors
of many states had been assured that
the bill would not curtail state taxing
powers.
During the debate Senator Sherman
of Illinois charged that by imposition
of new switching and car sporting
charges, amounting to $16,600,000 an
nually in Illinois alone it was possible
to bolster up federal control and ar
tificially increase railroad revenues.
Upon the suggestion of Majority
Leader Martin, consideration Of the
conference report was temporarily
laid aside so certain precedents in.
