PASS RATE BILL
Esch Townsend Measure Approved by
House
WASHINGTON After nearly four
days of discussion the house on
Thursday by a vote of 320 to 17 pass
ed the Esch Townsend bill providing
for the regulation of freight rates
The negative vote was made up of
eleven repubieans and six democrats
Closing hours of the debate were
occupied by Messrs Williams of Mis
souri and the minority leader and
Hepburn of Iowa chairman of the
committee which reported the bill
Mr Williams while supporting the
minorty measure even though he said
he knew it could not pass compli
mented the republicans for bringing
in a bill which was much better than
he expected would come from them
The speech of Mr Hepburn was
rather in defense of himself He said
that his deeds and acts were a suffi
cient answer to the lies and sland
ers which had been heaped upon
him The bill known as the Hepburn
bill he said had been prepared by the
attorney general and he only yielded
to his colleagues on the committee on
the Esch Townsend bill because he
did not want the committee to be the
target for scribblers who wanted sen
sational heaalines He devoted some
time to a strong presentation of the
merits of the majority measure
The closing remarks for the minor
ity were made by Mr Williams
Miss who at the outset congratu
lated the house upon the fact that not
only in the matter of rate legislation
but in several other particulars Presi
dent Roosevelt nominated by the re
publican party and elected by tho peo
ple was beginning to assume a dis
tinctly democratic attitude
Mr Hepburn la chairman of the
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce closed for the republicans
He explained the difficulties of pre
paring such a measure as the bill re
ported saying no two men entertain
ed the same opinion either as to what
was in the bnl or what ought to be
in it
The substitute bill of the minority
was defeated 151 to 18G Messrs
Gaines Tenn Rider and Scmlder
N Y and Livernash - and Wyann
Cal voting with the republicans
The roll then was called on the
Esch Townsend bill -which was pass
ed 326 to 17
TO REACH THE PRIVATE LINES
Proposed That Senate Committee
Shall Sit During Vacation
WASHINGTON The resolution to
be introduced in the senate by Mr
Kean of New Jersey providing that
the committee on interstate commerce
shall sit during the summer for the in
vestigation of the subject of railroad
rate legislation will not be offered
until it has first been approved by the
committee It had been announced
that the resolution would be present
ed in the senate yesterday The in
terstate commerce commission will
meet Saturday to consider the resolu
tion
The plan to have the senate com
mittee investigate thoroughly the
subject of rate legislation has been
approved by a large number of sena
tors of both parties
It is said the committee will work
along the line of perfecting the Esch
Townsend bill and incorporate in that
measure a provision to reach private
car lines
The idea is that the committee is
ready to report in October or the 1st
of November notice shall be sent to
the president and if he is so inclined
an extra session may be called Should
there be a demand from any senator
for immediate consideration of the
house bill it is planned to -ascertain
the sentiment of passing a rate bill
at the present session by a vote on
the proposed Kean resolution
