MR. RINGDAL RETURNS.
Convention of Railroad Commits
siOners Was an Important One.

F. NJ. RingGal, state railroad commits
sioner, is back from the national cen
vention of railroad commissioners, held in
Denver. Mr.. Ringdal reports that the
convention was well attended and that
many important questions We're delioer-
ated upon. He thinks that the most I'M
portant action was the adoption of a
resolution favoring an increase in the
powers of the interstate commission. Th1s
resolution was right in line with the eX-
tension of powers desired by the com
mission. One important resolution tailed
to pass 1t was introduced by a member
from Texas and favored national law
giving state commissions authority to
deal with all railroad business within the
states no matter where it originates. At
present commissions can only regulate
rates on business originating and disposed
of within the state. Mr.. Ringdal 'evored
this resolution and made a speech in
support of it The chief argument
against it was that confusion would re-
suit from the overlapping state and ma
tionaI spheres of authority.
