The confer ence report on the railroad bill passed Saturday night by the house, was called up in the senate by Senator Cummins, chairman of the Interstate commerce committee, who obtained unanimous consent for Us tame-late consideration. Its speedy adoption was predicted. Presenting the conference report Senator Cummins emphaslzea that the rate guarantee section did not take a dollar out of the public treas ury. "In order to prejudice it among the people it has been termed a guaranty of Income," he said. 'This is not true. There is a guaranty in the bill of the standard return and against deficits continuing for six months after the railways are returned to their owners but its necessity is obvious." lie said ho merely directed the inter state commerce commission that inso far that was practicable It should be make rates that would yield a net operating Income of 5 hi per cent "up on th e true palue of the railway prop orty." The Income would depend wholly upon location of the roads, the Iowa senator pointed out, asserting i In answer to insinuations that As toria has lured him away, Mr. Denton said: "Astoria did not win me away.

"But When I see the great develop ment work that Is being rarrled on In Astoria on one hand, and turn ami see the vast possibilities that are over looked and ignored ln Salem on the other hand, it makes me sorry. We should recognize the chances we have hero, and develop them. In Astoria they have no petty jealousies. We should have none here. But we should pull shoulder to shoulder, and work In complete accord with only one slogan to go by: "A Better Salem." Astoria's Growth Told. Mr. Denton told of the rapid growth of Astoria, and pictured ltd future as "a city enchanted grown up over night." "I have been( called to account for the publication of a newspaper state ment that the farmers are profiteers. I want to say that It was not the Sa lem delegation who snlrt that. And, as you know I am frank, I want to say further that had you business men been there you would no doubt have believed the assertion, whatever It may have beim."
