Now that the committees in the two
houses of our state legislature have been
appointed it is TO be hoped that those
weighty bodies will get down to work
and do something besides introducing
bills. There has seemed to be a dispo-
sition on the part of many of the INTEL
lectual lights among the law makers to
introduce large number of bills. 1t
mattered not whether those bills were
of any benefit to the public or not, but
that is what they are for and bills must
be introduced. A new legislator isn't
satisfied until he has seen several meas
ures go in with his name tagged to them.

THE FUNCTIONS OF A RAIL.
ROAD

A railroad does not exhaust its func-
tons when it provides carriage Of
freight from point to point, giving it
safe delivery. 1t is more than was the
carriers cart, which picked up pack
ages at the shops and delivered them at
the door of the purchaser, whose liabil-
ity and duty are the base on which are
built the duty and law of the railroad
Of today. With the development of the
business Of carrying to its present enor-
nous proportions there have come also
expansions of the duties of the roads,
an increase Of the obligations they are
under to the communities they serve.
Generally the railroads have recognized
this, and have met the growing needs
with the adoption of devices for the bet
ter conduct of their business. The diff
terentiation has developed the we'll
appointed passenger station from the
platform or the shed. To certain de-
gree the roads have taken on the duties
and the business of the warehouseman,
and provided at the terminals the great
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1893-01-17

depots where freight may be received
and stored. At all way stations the
freight house shelters the goods until
the consignee comes for them. AS the
carriage of cattle was taken on, the
roads provided yards for herding them
and shutes for their loading.
So far has this law of their growth
and development been recognized by the
roads and the public that it may be
safely laid down as legal OBJ
legation Of railroads to provide
all appliances for the safe, rapid,
economical handling of the various
articles carried by them. If they neg
lect to provide these, the legislative
power can compel them to do So If
railroads suspend any of their proper
functions, or delegate them to others,
the state can oblige them to resume
them.
1t is on this that the Democratic plat
form bases its plan for the correction of
the evils of the grain market. 1t rests on
the legal proposition that, in the devel-
opment Of the grain traffic, for the eff
fectiVe and economical receiving and
loading of grain into cars, the modern
elevator has becomea necessity; that as
the receiving and loading of grain in
cars is legitimately a duty of the roads,
the provision by them OF elevators be-
comes an obligation which the state can
enforce; that the railroads have abdi-
Gated lhis especial function to persons
not connected with the roads, and thus
fail to perform a proper and public
duty; that the state can obige the roads
to resume their function and provide and
operate elevators at all points where
necessary.
AS the roads nave taken to them
selves the business OF warehouse
constructing and operating at their
terminals immense freight houses for
the reception and storage of incoming
or outgoing freights. it may be assumed
that they will be held to have taken ON
that function too, and can be made to
apply it to the construction Of terminal
elevators for receiving and storing
grain. If this be correct, then, instead
of embarking the state in Senator
HoMPE's elevator scheme, the roads
