Leayenworlh Times: New York
seems 70 be worked up not little on
the subject of railroad commissions,
since the recent decision OF the conrt of
appeals in the action which was brought
during the strike last summer, TO COM
pei the railroad companies to transport
freight, shows that for all wrongs COM
mitted by corporations the people have
adequate protectiqp in recourse TO the
law. and some OF ihe newspapers argue
that IL such is the case the railroad cont
mission isat once sshorn Of iis useful
mesa. Inasnuch IS Kansas seems likely
to adopt the commission system, we
will follow up the matter little, and
see II the Empire state would be JUST
fied in doing away with such plan,
The decision referred to really con
tains little that ts new, but follows with
considt rabIe closeness all the essen
tial lines as laid down by the high
eat courts IN Ohio. Illinois and sever
al other states. as well as by two
or three United Stats circuit
judges, that railroad corporations are
but the agencies ~ the stale, or, in the
words of the court, mo matter by whom
a railroad Is built or owned. the func-

and therefore subject 10 state supersis-

But upon this point there is piactic-

cision Is not new, but merely adds lit

pounded.
But there 1t ends. There is nothing
IN it which gives an Individual any
greater encouragement 10 apply TO the
courts for remedies against corporations
for wrongs inflicted. Discrimination is
unlawful and recovery for injury in.
Aicted thereby can be had under The
common law, but what would induce an
individual TO bring an action for thu
wrong, when he knows that it will en-

WHEN PEOPLE talk about the
obligations Of railroads to serve the
public they should remember the
Immense grants of lands that have
been made to these corporations.
The amount is no less than 100000
600 acres. This is an area greater
than that of the thirteen original
states; an area nearly one-third
larger than Texas; almost as large
as the combined territory of Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas
and Nebraska; nearly three times
as large as Great Britain and Ire
land; more than FIVE times as great
as France; four times greater than
Germany; equal to about one-sixth
of the entire territory of the United
