K. Cincinnati, Oct. 26. In a statement given to the press today Senator For aker answers Secretary Taft's rate leg islation speech at Akron. Foraker believes that giving the In terstate Commerce Commission the rate making power ia a poor renuly for ex isting evils. The present law, he state. afford ample opportunity for an appeal to the court by any community which bacHeve it i discriminated against. He would, however, amend the law. not by making the railroad invuriubly stand the expense of litigation, but by eiiiHwering the court to fix the ex nciise on the Government or the rail rood, though never on the railroad, for reason surd suits are in the interest of tbitcrs st arge, ami the burden of lit 1 gation for the shipper should therefore be borne by the Government.
