INTERSTATE COMMISSION
States That Consolidate VIII Main
tain Published Tariffs.

Washington, Dec 1.-THE tendency to
combine continues the most significant
feature of railway developments. accord
ing to the annual report of the interstate
commerce commission issued today. The
report says:
1T is not open to question that the com
petition between railroad carriers which
formerly prevailed has been largely sup
pressed or at least brought to the condi-
tion Of effective restraint The progress
of consolidation in one form or another
VIII at no distant day conhne this com
petition within narrow and unimportant
limits because the control Of most railway
properties viii be merged into a few
individuals whose common interests i'm
Eel them to act in concert
While this viii insure, as probably
nothing else can in equal degree. the
observance of published tariffs and so
measurably remove some of the evils
which the act was designed to prevent,
The resulting situation involves conse-
cuences to the public which claim the
most serious attention. a law which
might have answered the purpose when
competition was relied upon to secure re-
asouable rates is demonstrably made
quate when that competition IS displaced
by the most far reaching and powerful
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1902-12-18

combinations. So great a change in con-
ditions calls for corresponding change in
the regulating statute
The commission reaffirms its recommen-
dations for amending the interstate COM
merce law and urges the grave necessity
for legislation. The report says that
the fact that no conviction have yet been
obtained nor Indictments found in the
cases of the roads which were shown by
an investigation last winter to be giving
secret rates 10 grain shippers empha-
sizes the fact that the criminal provisions
OF the present Interstate law are practi-
cally a dead letter.
The commission SAYS that the effect of
issuing injunctions to compel roads to
observe published tariffs has been to
materially advance on the commodities
the rate actually received by the carrier
and actually paid by the shipper. and
that their operation is applied to the pres
ent condition of railroad ownership en-
ables advances in rates which might not
otherwise be made and maintained While
the producer Of grain Will undoubtedly
pay from now on from five 10 seven cents,
in some instances ten cents per 100 pounds
more to transport that grain from the
field TO destination than he had paid for
some time before these injunctions took
effect this is not to be regarded as an
argument against the injunctions.
There ought to be some power which
cannot only compel these carriers to
maintain the published rate but which
can compel them to publish fair and
reasonable rate.
Thirty eight formal proceedings. double
the number brought in the preceding
year, and involving rates and practices of
three hundred railroads were instituted
curing the year.
To promote more general compliance
with the spirit of the safety appliances
law in the use of the air brakes, the com
nittee recommends the passage of an act
fcrbidding the running of trains in which
less than one half mile of the cars are
equipped with power brakes. and empow-
ering the commission to issue general
orders requiring the use of power brakes
on more than 50 per cent of the cars in
train whenever it shall find such increas-
ca use to be practicable and also per-
hitting the commission to permit for a
specified period, the running of trains
with power brakes in use on less than
so per cent of the cars therein.

ALL FOR AN APPROPRIATION

Washington, Dec. INT. Bartlett, a
Georgia Democrat. during consideration
Of the legislative appropriation bin in
the house today unexpectedly and with
out warning sprang an amendment 10 ap-
propriate $4,000 TO enforce the Sherman
antitrust law, and to direct the attorney
general TO proceed to the prosecution Of
all violators OF the Law. Although such
a provision was plainly amenable to a
point of order, not member on either
side Of the house raised an objection.
Both sides wheeled into line. and all
agreed that some such action was advis-
able Some Of the Republicans, how
ever, raised objection to the looseness of
the language Of the amendment and Mr..
Hepburn. OF Iowa, offered as a substitute
for it the language of the bill he intro
duced on the opening day Of the session to
appropriate 100000 for the enforcement
of the law. This was further strength
ened to make the appropriation immedi-
ately available and as amended the sub
stitute was agreed TO without division.
The legislative bin was passed practi-
oaly as it came from the committee.
except for the amendment The language
of the Hepburn amendment as adopted
today is as follows:
THAT for the enforcement of the provi-
sions of the act of July 8, 1890, the sum
of $4,000 is hereby appropriated out of
