be restored to the States. will be met
with hot fight In the Senate.
This was the promise made today
by Senator Cappef Of Kansas, in com
menting on the statement of Senator
LaFollette OF Wisconsin. that railroad
interests were trying to "call off" the
farmers or the country from their
opposition to the act as II stands.
when 1 first offered the amend
ment to the act II seemed to have
little chance Of passage" said Capper.
But sentiment has grown strongly
In favor Of IL until the farmers and
the State commissions are almost
solidly behind II and the railroads ara
concentrating all their forces to beat
Il.
II predict 1t will pass. The big fight
will be to get 1t out of committee.
But we do not intend to let up on IL
until we get some sort Of satisfaction. .
Capper said he was puzzled by the
action ascribed by LaFollette to repre-
sentatives Of the National Grange and
the National Association Of Farm
Bureaus, who were reported to have
agreed with the railroad representa-
tives at a secret meeting held in
Washington, to join the railroads In
a program of legislation.
These farmer representatives may
have been misled. but whatever their
motives, / am certain the farmers
will never back any such action as
is ascribed to them. The farmers OF
the country are a unit In demanding
legislation that will insure lower
freight rates.
81 think at the hearings before the
Senate Interstate Commerce Com
mittee we have made out a clear case
to prove that the Interstate Commerce
Commission exceeded It's powers in
fixing high rates and taking over the
powers exercised by the States.
THE country simply demands a
change from present conditions and
the change must come"
