vide revenues to carry on the business
Of the government ls the mandate Of
duty, and is a certain and easy remedy
for the most of our financial difficulties.
A deficiency is inevitable so long as the
expenditures OF the government exceed
it's receipts. It can only be met by loans
or an increased revenue. While a
larger annual surplus OF revenue may in
vite waste and extravaganza, inadequate
revenue creates distrust and undermines
public and private credit. Neither
should be encouraged. Between more
loans and more revenue there ought to
be but ono opinion. We should have
more revenue, and that without delay,
hindrance or postponement. A surplus
in the treasury created by loans is not
permanent or safe reliance. It will
suffice while it lasts, but it cannot last
long while the outlays Of the government
are greater than its receipts, as has been
the case during the past two years. Nor
must it be forgotten that, however much
loans may temporarily relieve the situa.
tion, the government still is indebted for
the amount Of surplus thus accrued,
which it must ultimately pay, while it's
ability to pay is not strengthened, but
weakened by continued deficit. Loans
are imperative in great emergencies to
preserve the government or its credit,
but a failure to supply needed revenue
in time Of peace for the maintenance of
either has no justification"
He argued that the best policy was to
increase the revenues, and that this
could only be done by increasing and
revising the tariff. Hefsvored reciprocity
and more stringent naturalization and
immigration laws He promised enforce
ment Of the civil service laws, favored
restoration of the merchant marine, in
dOrsed the policy Of peace with all
nations, and expressed the opinion that
arbitration was the best means of ad-
justing difficulties. He discusses the
advisability OF calling special session
OF Congress while the newIy.elected
members are fresh from the people, and
announces that special session will be
called to begin March Is. He cODgratu-
lates the country upon the fraternal
spirit Of the people, and suggests that
the elections demonstrated the cblitera-
tiOn Of sectional and geographical lines.
In closing he repeated the oath Of Office,

nical niceties Of construction, but should
stand out in the body Of the law so plain
that everyone who reads may understand
and know. That the Legislature did
not intend this bill to confer power on
the Commissioners to establish general
schedules Of rates, and, Furthermore, did
not intend TO vest such power in the
Commissioners, is clearly evidenced by
the fact that propositions, in both houses,
to confer such power were defeated.
81 notice that while section II makes
it a duty of the Commissioners to apply
to the District court for process to COM
pei obedience to their recommendations,
section 18 requires them to 60 to the
Supreme court for this order. Here
again q Judicial Interpretation would be
necessary. While section 5 again at
tempts to establish an snti-pasl regula-
ton, it does 80 in apparent Obliviousness
of the title OF the bill, and is, in any
event, 30 qualified by section 28, which
permits the issuance Of mileage, excur-
sion or Communication passenger tickets,
that it is probably Of no practical value
whatever il there should be any disposi-
tion to evade It's terms. There is about
this bill general air Of indefniteness
and uncertainty discernible to the most
casual inspection, which seems to me to
be open to vast array of legal technical
objections. With such o future before
it, it is almost impossible to hope that
any enforcement Of its provisions can be
had which would be of any real or praC-
tical value to those who complain Of the
charges and the methods Of the great
railroad corporations"
He then says:
"For $50 years, in England and in this
country, the decisions Of the courts have
uniformly been that the regulation Of
tolls for highways, ferries and ware
houses was legislative and not judi
cial function, and there is no intimstion
in any decision Of the Supreme court of
the United States, down to the year 1885,
that the courts dreamed that they had
any power to interfere, Up to that time
it was uniformly hello that the regulation
Of common carriers was a matter wholly
within the province of the Legislature,
and if injustice were done to any party, an
appeal must be to a subsequent Legisla-
ture and not to the courts. In 1885, in
passing upon the case OF Stone VS.. The
Farmer Loan and Trust Co., the Supreme
court gave the first intimation that the
court had changed front on that PROPOSE
tion, and in the various decisions from
that time on down to this they have
steadily and in every case gone little
bit farther in declaring their rights to
jurisdiction in this matter; but twelve
years Of usurpRtion compared with $50
years Of justice is a small matter, and
the signs Of the times are, that by the
tame suit started now in pursuance Of
q maximum rate passed by tho Legiala-
turs should get to the court Of final

doubtless be greatly appreciated by the
travelling public because 1t will permit che

tiOnsl outlay for railroad fare.
