BETWEEN TAFT AND KNAPP.
Cemmlaslon’a Increased Power to Bo
Exorcised Only When Rates Are
Believed Exceeeive.
\ | Beverly, Mass—President Taft had
L \ a long talk Friday with Chairman
R \ Knapp of the Interstate Commerce
Commission regarding the administra-
^B \ tion of the new railroad rate law. At
-M \ the conclusion of the interview it was
made plain that the added authority
, given to the commission by the new
#|^^B statute is not to be used arbitrarily or
f&jS^B f°r the purpose of hindering the rail-
*- 5 'I roads in the conduct of tbelr legitl-
, , ‘Jrff mate business. The power to suspend
new rates, probably the most direct
K{3jB weapon placed In the hands of the
■V commission, is to be used only In ex-
|Bw ceptlonal cases.
Hff < Chairman Ktrnpp told the president
Bf t that the commission had refused an
f ' application under the law for a sua-
pensloa of Increased rates on horse
; vehicles and automobiles. He said
there was nothing In the face of things
to show that the new rate* were un-
