The official feeling may be summar-

which might come from action by the

Madrid could be carried into effect.
The point of intervention causes no I'M

interpret it as likely to prevent the APP

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.

Iowa Railway Commission Complains
That The Law is Inadequate.
Des Moines, Iowa, Dec. THE an
nual report of the Iowa railroad COM
misisoners was filed with the govern
or. and makes some radical recon-
mendations calling for new legisnla-
ton to rehabilitate laws that have
been supposed until very recently 10
give ample power 10 the commission
ers to regulate rates.
In the case of Barris VS.. the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy railway
company in Iowa, Supreme court de-
cided that the rate fixed by the COM
missioners was not prima facle evil
dence of a reasonable rate, thus in Ell
feet holding that all rates are subject
to review by the courts, and gives the
railway companies, the board thinks,
the right to wholly disregard the com
missioners rate.
The commissioners regard this as
against the securing of uniform rates,
which was the intent of the law, and
declares that it will prevent them
from enforcing uniform rates, so
they cannot prevent unjust discrimin-
atoms. 1t will lead to great confus-
ion in freight and passenger business
If the railways are allowed to contest
the reasonableness of rates with each
shipper, because juries and courts will
not agree as to the same rates. If
such never ending litigation is I'M
ayOidable under the present law the
commissioners think that such legis-
lation should be enacted whereby the
people of the state may be fully pro-
tected in securing reasonable maxi
mum rates without unnecessary delay
and vexation."
Referring to the litigation which the
decision of the Supreme court invites,
the board asks for legislation which
will make it possible to establish a
schedule of maximum rates which
would be binding both to the shipper
and the railways, without compelling
the shipper TO expend large sums of
money in a multiplicity of suits to es-
tablish what might be ascertained and
established in one suit"
