DURING the last few days that most
dIgniiied and useless body, the inter-
state commerce commission, has been
holding sessions and considering the
new and general increase In freight
rates. Gray heads gravely nod and are
judlcIally scratched. BY and by, after
hearing much railroad lingo, and spend
Ing much good money, they will render
an opinion, or decision or . recon-

raised to an indefinite but very per
ceptlble extent, on nearly everything
In or out, which means considerable

our laws we are helpless and under tho
rule Of courts we are likely TO continue
TO be, especially II the republican party
remains In power. OF course the
main portion Of the freight traffic is
interstate commerce and without the
pale of State laws, were 1t possible TO
enact any Of effect that the courts
would not declare unconstitutional.
The interstate commerce commission
was never given much power and has
by the courts been shorn Of that which

A LOT of well-intentioned and in
jured shippers have employed ex-Attor-
ney General Monnett of Ohio, who
tried to prosecute the trusts and was
kicked out by Mark Hanna, to en-
deavor to persuade United States At
torney General GriRgs to enjoin the
railroads from putting into effect the
new rates, Monnett has cited stat
utes and supreme court decisions and
offered evidence to show that it is in
violation of the antitrust law, but he
is wasting his breath. He might as
well petition the devil to close the
gates of the place that is warmer than

TIE supreme court has sustained
the right OF tho state board Of trans
portatlon to regulate express rates. II
the board has power to regulate eK'
press rates, II must also have power Ia
regulate railroad freight and passen
ger rates, and that being true, the live
stock shippers who resent the recent
arbitrary advance in rates should lose
no time in invoking the power OF the
board-Omaha Bee.
This is old. 1t 10 not difficult to get
decision from the courts as to the
very ample powers Of fixing rates for
railroads, express companies, etc.
But they say that the "Teasonableness'
of the rates is matter for judicial
determination, and il the rates are
low enough to hurt the corporations
any, or help the public, they are always
judiclally determined to be "unrea-
sonable and coniscatory."
