TO CONGRESS- TO-DAY

United Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.-Presi.
dent Wilson today vetoed the Cum
minis rate bill which would have re.
stored the interstate commerce com.
mission to It's pre-war power over
railroad rates.
The veto will be forwarded to con.
gress today.
Under government railroad con.
troll, the president has had the power
to make rates and did make several
jrevisions upward. The Cummins bill
would have forced the president,
through the railroad administration
to go before the Interstate commerce
commission just as the railroads
themselves had to do before federal
control
The Cummins bill would have
forced those in charge of the rail
roads under federal control to seek
approval of the various state railroad
commissions in matters affecting in.
trastate traffic.
During the war the president had
the same power over interstate and
,intgaState rates. "a II y,
The provision Of the biil returning
the power Of rate review to state
commissions was the cause Of the
presidents veto. He said he had NO
objection to the feature of the bill
which restored pre-war powers to
the interstate commerce commission.
The veto message also spoke OF
the short time of federal control re-
naming, indicating that the presi-
dent has not changed his mind about
turning back the roads January l.
In objecting to the restoration of
power to the state commissions the
president said:
The immediate effect of such a
change in the law would be to de-
prive the federal government Of the
ability to cope promptly and decisive
ly with operating emergencies which
are now arising and must continue
to arise during the existing period OF
heavy traffic" Il
The president then pointed to the
railroad administrators stopping
consignees unduly OBTAINING refriger.
ator cars and to the plans for OBJ
tanning heavier loading of grain as
actions that would be hampered, II
not prevented, under the Cummins
bill
"The matters I have mentioned are
Illustrative of pressing practical
emergencies which must be dealt
with promptly II they are to be dealt
with effectively; and while the fed
eral government alone is responsible
for railroad operation, it ought to
have within itself the power to deal
with these problems.
Beyond these pressing practical
exigencies / feel that. it is a far
sounder principle to vest in the fed
eral government the power to revise
the revenue to operate the railroads
when the federal government alone
is responsible for paying the bills for
their operation"
The president, while declaring he
did not object to the resumption OF
pre-war power by the interstate com
merce commission, said the Cummins
bill attached a presumption Of un.
reasonableness" to the rate changes
made under fedral control.

Efforts to Compromise Going
on in Senate Cloak Rooms
by Republicans and
Democrats.
LODGE RESERVATIONS
Resolution Of Ratification to be Com
pleted and Acted Upon Before
Present Week is
Ended.
EIBy Raymond Clapper. United Press
Staff CORRESPONDENT

IBy Raymond Clapper. United Press
Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Eforts
at compromise on the peace treaty
were going on In senate cloak rooms
today. Administration leaders who
oppose the Lodge reservations were
trying to get together with mild
ireservationist'' on the republican
side. Republican leaders insisted
President Wilson's warning that he
will pocket the treaty II the Lodge
reservations win, have fallen on deaf
ears in the senate. Some mild res
servationists" also held this view.
Others, however, are said to be con-
ferring with Senator HitchcocR on
compromise. One report is that If
Hitchcock will accept the bulk of
the Lodge reservations, the group OF
seven or eight republicans who hold
the balance Of power will join him to
strike out the preamble requiring ac-
ceptance Of reservations by three
allies and possibly the article ten
reservation.
For this milder one would be
substituted should the plan be car
ried out.
Republican senators said they in
intended to finish the work OF draft
ing the resolution of ratification to.
day or tomorrow Lodge will hold
the senate in session until this Is
done. The completed resolution Will
then have to lie over without action
for one day, according 70 general
Interpretation of the rules.
First Vote THURSDAY.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s.-The first
senate vote on ratification of the
peace treaty will be taken Thursday,
leaders believed today.
The vote Will come on the Lodge
resolution of ratification with reser-
vations, which, 1t is hoped, will be
formulated before the senate ad-
tourns tonight. 1t will lie over one
day and the vote will come on the
following, according to present plans.
Meantime, numerous conferences
are going on over the terms of com.
promise. Indications, according to
democratic leaders, are that the
Lodge program may be accepted
after two changes have been made,
one in the preamble requiring writ.
ten assent Of three allies, and the
other softening Of the reservation
concerning article ten. But the com.
promise will not be accepted until
the Lodge resolution is first defeated
as 1t stands. Administration Leader
Hitchcock wants to see the senate go
fatty on record against the program.
After this vote mild reservation
ists' on the republican side will then
swing over to Hitchcock and help
him frame compromise, according
to the program.

REFORMS IN TAXATION
RECOMMENDED AT MEET
OF N. NJ. ASSOCIATION

SPECIAL coRREsRoHoEscE TO MORNING JOURNAL

taxation matters are likely TO result
from the two days session Of the New
Mexico Taxpayers association which
ended here yesterday. For one thing,
John Joerns, secretary OF the state tax
commission. announced that county
boards would be asked TO furnish the
commission with carbon copies of re-
ports of their proceedings. BY this
means the state board Will be able to
keep in touch with what is going on
in the various counties. particularly in
the matter of expenditures.
J. T.. Saint, chairman Of the COM
mission. IN an address said the people
are carrying a heavy burden because
of property being underValued and
much of il being omitted from the tax
rolls. Mr. Saint urged assessors and
others to see that all property is listed
and properly valued, which, he said,
would reduce the present tax leVies
fully % per cent.
Many changes in the assessment
laws were suggested, but it is not like
~ that the governor will be asked TO
include any Of the recommendations
in his call for the special session of the
legislature. except the measure which
failed to pass at the last regular ses-
sion. requiring assessors to view all
property before listing it and provid
ing for the payment of expenses of as
