ions on the Hepburn railroad rate bill,

ef . the speakers announced he woujd

them criticised its provisions, Itaecope
and Ita nrobabla efllcacy to reach the

it-was- tho-flfth-day-of-tho debate.
and notwithstanding that the majority
of the Democrats will support ths Re
publican bill, there le no Indication when
the vote will be reached. .
Clavton of Alabama, a minority mem
ber of the house committee on inter
state commerce, advocated the, passage
of the bill en the" ground that it le
return to old common law principle,
and Renreseatatlva Henry of Texas do-
(dared H is strictly within ths province
of the oonstltotlon. ' Representative
Kennedy of Ohio denied that the enact.
mnt of tha bill would ba an Interfer
ence with the rights of private property,
Representative. Crumpacker of Indiana
took the view that government regula
tion of rates would bring about better
economlo conditions. Representative El
11a of Missouri thought the bill suffi
ciently . conservative to ' meet any ob
jection. Representative Hogg-of Colorado np
posed the bill, because he contended
that It placed Judicial and administra
tive functlona In tha handa of the In
terstate commerce commission. '
Representative Floyd of Alabama, the
Democratic whip, saw In the bill a na
tional aafegusrd against socialism and
radicalism rather than a movement In
the right direction, and Representative
Page of North Carolina approved the
bill in all Its contentions.
Mr. Clayton of Alabama opened the
debate He maintained that the El kins
law could not be enforced without an
esplonago which Is un-American.
The preeent bill, he said, obtained la-
formation without resort to the spy
system, the bill providing that 11 thai
books- of ths railroad companies abould

Mr. McCall s assertion yesterday that
thd bill tends te socialism and anarchy

and ths people will follow the banner
whether It be socialistic, anarehlatlo or

sincere In his desire for the regulation of
railroad rates and aald the beet teetlroony
of this Is the Injection of the word
"maximum" with regard to rates, which
may be a distinct concession to ths
Democratic idea.
The contention was made by Repre

are not private .property, are properly
subject to governmental regulation. He
