Railroads
House and Senate members chose
up sides today for a battle over
how long railroads must continue
paying for 100000 acres Of
land the government gave them In
frontier days.
Senator Bilbo (D-Miss.) said he
was ready to flight until Christmas"
to block any bill which would dis
continue Immediately half-price
rates enjoyed by the government
in consideration for huge land
grants made to railroads during
the 1905.
The House rejected yesterday.
167 to ia, compromise bill which
would have repealed the low gov
eminent rates on land grant roads
on October /, 1916. II previously
had voted to put a stop TO the
rates 80 days after enactment OF
the legislation.
Sponsors say the roads, through
the reduced rates to the govern
ment, have paid for the old land
grants many times over. Many
roads which received no grants
match the rates to meet competi-
ton.
Cochran told the House the rates
had saved the government more
than 00,0O0.000 a year in the
movement OF freight and troops
during the war.
