rhA NeW Railroad Law.

As this law took effect on the first day
of this month, we deem it proper to again
call attention to its provisions
SEC. /. Declares that any charge more
than is reasonable for passengers or freight
shall be deemed extortion.
SEC. 3. Forbids unjust discrimina
tons" against persons or places.
SIC. 4. Imposes fines from $1,000 TO
$4,000 for either ''extortion" or unjust
discrimination, and jury are to judge of
the offense.
SEC. 6. Provides that any person
charged more than reasonable rate may
sue and recover three times the amount Of
damages, with costs Of suit and attorney
fees.
SEC. 7. Directs the railroad commits
sioners 10 commence suit against any rail-
road offending, whenever the facts in their
opinion justify such action, and they may
employ such counsel as they deem proper
10 assist the attorney general in prosecut-
ing such suits and in another law $25, 600
is appropriated for the use Of said commits
sioners.
SEC. s. Requires the commissioners to
make schedules Of rates for all the rail-
roads, which, when so made. shall be
deemed prima facie reasonable. These
may be altered and revised from time to
time by the commissioners. This section
TO take effect the 18th day of next Janu-
airy.
The foregoing presents the main points
of the new law The railroads met IL
council few days ago and agreed that the
law must be obeyed. Professedly, they
are complying, but in reality they are not
On the matter of unjust discrimination
they are obeying the law but are violating
section one, which declares that it shall be
deemed ''extortion" to charge more thar
reasonable rates. The supreme court say
that competition makes reasonable rates.
Instead of lowering TO the competition stan
dard, they have raised little all along thu
line; or at least raised at the competing
points and not lowered at others
For this violation Of law there are tw,
remedies
l. The commissioners are TO prosecute
whenever they deem the facts sufficient.
2. Any person aggrieved may do SO AM
recover three times the charges, with at
torneys fees.
These latter suits, when the amour
claimed is less than 5000, may be prosecu
ted before any justice Of the peace.
We make this suggestion to the people
that immediate steps he taken to prose
cute the railroads for extortion. Fact
may be presented to the railroad commits
sioners, and they may be demanded to act
or by agreement through the''club' or 9th
erwise, simultaneous prosecutions may b
commenced before justices of the peace a
over the country. These may be so nu
merous as to finally hurry the railroads in
to compliance Let the law be tested, SC
if necessary, it may be amended next wiz

We can't say that we greatly admire the
management Of the Committee on supplies
or of the Board of Supervisors, in regard
to the publishing Of the minutes Of pro-
ceedinss. Several members declared to
us that Il was agreed on among members
of the Board that they would not pay for
publishing the proceedings in more than
one newspaperor printing establishment,
and that should be the one making the
lowest bid. With that view we put in a
proposition. The Moline Rsois'O also put
in n proposition. The Union declined 10
put in one, ..- ... ........ ... .....
The proposition Of THE ARGUS was SIC
the session, in both the Daily and Weekly
two papers
The proposition Of the RerieW was 81;
for its weekly-one paper. 1t has nj
daily.
OF course THE ARGUS proposition wa
greatly the best. But what did the com
mittee do? Ignored lis own plan, and re
ported in favor Of giving the Reuicc tn
same THE ARGUS bid 1t was very hber
al indeed TO give a new paper, only
weekly, with comparatively no circulation
outside It's own town, the same as Tn
ARGUS bid fol two papers of twenty year
standingi
And then, after doing this, they propos
ed to give the Union, which refused I
bid at all, the same as THE ARGUS bid !
1t Is to the credit of Supervisors Bowles
