FLORIDA RAILWAY COMMISSION.


IOWerH.
One Of tho first concurrent resolutions
adopted by the legislature OF Florida at
the session now being held at Tallahassee
provided for a special Joint committee to
consider, frame and report to both houses
the most advisable, practicable and salts
factory legislation for carrying into effect
the constitutional amendment adopted by
the general election last November con-
ferring judicial powers upon the railroad
commission. A strong and conservative
committee was named but as soon as seri-
Gus elaboration was begun It was found
that the constitutional amendment in ques-
tlon had been crudely drawn, and really
provided for giving the commission abso-
| lutte and final jurisdiction in all matters
properly coming before it.
The appellste jurisdiction If the supreme
court is expressly defined and limited by
the constitution and this amendment made
| no provision for an appeal to that court
from the decision of the railroad commits
sion The committee was met with two
propositions-one to confer absolute and
final jurisdiction upon the railroad COM
mission, sitting as a court: the other to
! give limited judicial powers, and providing
| that any aggrieved party may appeal to
the supreme court
This committee deemed 1t best for all In
terests that the latter plan be adopted
and tAe bill which was repsrted confers
| limited judicial powers-such as compel
ling the attendance of witnesses, produc-
ton of papers. testimony, etc, and pro-
viding that failure to carry out the or
ders of the commission may be punished
by contempt proceedings in the same man
ner that 1t is done in the circuit courts.
The bill further provides that to compel
the observance OF rate or regulation, the
commissioners may proceed by mandamus
or injunction before the circuit courts.
This is believed to be the farest solution
of that problem, as it provides speedy
way OF determining the reasonableness OF
unreasonableness of rate or requirement
An important new feature of the bill Is
that in addition to railroad and express
companies. 1t also places telegraph com
panies, steamship companies and union
terminal stations under the Jurisdlctien Of
the railroad commission.
This bill is now under discussion IN tne
two houses.
There is a strong feeling that this legs
1ature must take some action about the
railroad eommission-either abolish oil
strengthen IT, The commission was ere
eted nv the last legislature two years ago
ana given remarkably large powers loi
Fyirg rates and regulations to be observed
nv the railroad and express companies
After the body organized 1t found that y
was practically powerless to enforce w
avtnnsive powers and il has, tneFeloI .
heen forced to fail in accomplishing neal
as much as was expected OF II.
Indications are that the limited JUDICIAL
powers will be granted.
