Judge Wood On the Railroad COMMITS.
sloner' Bill.
SAN MAEcos, Tex, Feb. 20, 1889,
EDIToR or THE FREE PREss--I have
examined to some extent tho Rail
road Commission Bill, which has
passed the House Of Representatives.
] see that our representatives, Hon.
George McGehoe and ], L, Ellison,
voted against the bill, Ny judgment
ia that they voted right, In the FIRST
place il is q question OF grave doubt
whether tho Legislature can delegate
its powers to o commission. In the
second place, it is matter Of ques'
tionable policy to clothe any three
men with the extraordinary powers
conferred on tho commission by this
bill. Third, it entails a heavy ex-
pense to the people Of the State,
while il is matter OF tho graycst
doubt whether more evil will not re
suit from 1t than good.
While it is unquestionable that the
Legislature hns the power to regn'
late railroads, under the constitution,
70 as to control them for the general
good and mako them servants OF the
people Gas they ought to be- and not
their masters; yet in doing this plain
constitutional methods should DO
pursued and no attempt made to ex-
ercise doubtful powers, and especi-
ally powers Of extraordinary charnc-
tor
That the Legislature should pre-
scribe maximum rates for froights
and passengers carried on our rail
roads is certainly necessity, and
under severe penalties prevent them
from discriminating in froights
against persons and places in the
State, giving to persons and places
who arc overcharged for freight or
Disseminated against speedy, ample
and efficient remedy in the courts to
recover damages for such injury
This, | think, is about oil the legis-
lation in this direction We need. [
think it would provo effective, be
plain and simple and not Interfere
with The construction OF
now roads, which We 30 much need
in tho west. II we expect to have
railroads we must treat them fairly
and literally, and OF the same time
we must control them SO as to make
them treat us fairly and justly, make
them treat every body and every
place alike. TO do this it seems to
me that wo need not incur any OK
traordinary expense or create any ex-
traor binary commission or tribunal.

From Austin.

AUSTIN, Tex, February 20, 1889.
EDIToR FREE PREss:
Thinking that you would overlook
the failure of your correspondent for
tho past two weeks, rs I have been
overwhelmed by the continuous moot
ings OF the different committees, and
your correspondent being cleri of
six committees ID my excuse for not
giving you the proceedings Of the
Legislature sooner.
The most of the past week was oc-
cupied in the discussion of the Rail
road Commission Bill, which passed
the House by about two thirds vote
in favor OF the commission.
There were somo very fine argu-
ments for and against the bill, the
finest speech being delivered by
McComb, of Montgomery county,
who opposed the measure on consti
tutional and other grounds, and his
speech was certainly unanswerable-
He is termed another Stephen A.
Douglas.
The majority or commission men
had an agreement to vote down every
amendment offered by the opponents
of the bill, and it seems that tho op-
ponents or anti-commission members
desired to perfect the measure in the
interest of the people, and also rail
roads, but every amendment offered
by the minority was promptly voted
down, tho majority in some instances
admitting that tho amendments
should bo adopted in the interest of
the people, but prejudice reigned
supreme. Tho debate ut times be
came rather personal, the majority
charging the minority with uphold
ing the railroads to the detrimont Of
the people, the minority asserting
that that tho States that had commits
slons had a higher freight rate than
Texas, and that the commission bill
would cost the people annually over
ono hundred thousand dollars. and
was oppressive not only to the rail
roads but also the people. not allow
