The Railroad Question.

Following is the report Of the Sem
ate committee on inter state COM
merce:
The public interests demand
regulation of the business of transpor-
tation, because in the absence of such
regulation the carriers are practically
and actually the sole and final al bitra-
tors upon all disputed questions that
arise between shipper and carrier as to
whether rates are reasonable or unjust
discrimination has been ~practiced.
PIT is the duty of Congress to un-
dertake tho regulation of the business
of transportation because of admitted
ebuscs in its management, and of ac-
knowledged determinations between
persons and places il its practical OPP
erations-evils which it is possible to
reach and remedy only through the eX-
ercise of the powers granted by the
constitution to Congress, and against
which the citizen is entitled to that
protection which the national author
ity alone can afford.
3-National legislation is necessary
to remedy the evils complained Of, be-
cause the operations of the Transports
ton system are for the most part be-
yond the jurisdiction of the states, and
until Congress acts not subject to any
government control in tho public in
terest.
National legislation is also zee
sary, because the business of trans
p~ortation is essentially of a nature
which requires that uniform system
and method of regulation which the
national authorities a alone pre-
scribe.
5-The failure of Congress to act is
an excuse for the attempts made by the
railroads to regulate the commerce OF
the country in their OWL way and in
their own interests, by whatever com.
binations and methods they are able to
| put into operation.
6-That the railroads, united or un'
restrained, can or will eventually work
out it's solution, seems highly improba'
bic, judging from past experience, and
can not be reasonably expected; that &
satisfactory solution of the problem
| can ever be secured without the aid Of
wise legislation the committee does not

Tho Senator Made HIS Mark

Washington letter in Chicago News
The mahogany desks used by the
members of the United States Senate

years old. They were built away back

improved with age, and are apparent.

person living who can point out the

past, and he, it is unnecessary to say.

the relic-seekers would chop them to
pieces within a month. When Mr..
Tabor, of Colorado, was a member of
the Senate he ~endeavored to learn the
history Of his desk, but Capt. Bassett
declined to crafty his curiosity. Ia
Dor is said to have replied: "Never
mind; Ill at least leave my mark up
on it SO that posterity may remember
ne by that, if nothing else" He wore
at that time a pair of gold sleeve but
tons with y large solitaire diamond
setting in the centre. With these he
gradually made two indentations in
each corner of the desk, and doubtless
ilattered himself that he had outwitted
the captain. But the latter as soon as
MIR. Tabor retired from the Senate
plugged up the holes so deftly that no
trace of their existence remains.
