proposes to pay the members salaries

certain, that with city business divid-

United States Commerce Commission
Says New Conditions Have
Serious Aspect.
Competition HAS been SUPPRESSED

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The tendency
to combine continues the most signifi-
cant feature of railway development,
according to the annual report Of the
interstate commerce commission, is
sued today. The report says:
1T is not open to question that the
competition between railroad carriers
which formerly prevailed has been
largely suppressed, or at least brought
to the condition of effective restraint.
The progress of consolidation, in one
form or another. will at no distant
day confine this competition within
narrow and unimportant limits, be-
cause the control Of most railway
properties will be me cged in few in
dividuals whose common interests I'M
pei them to act in concert.
while this will insure, as probably
nothing else car 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 con-
sequence to the public which claim
the most serious attention. A law
which might have answered the pur-
pose when competition was relied up
on to secure reasonable rates is DEM
onstratably inadequate when that
competition is displaced by the far
reaching and powerful combinations.
So great a change in condition calls
for corresponding change in the regu-
'ating statute"
The report says that the fact that
no convictions have yet been obtain
ed nor indictments found in the cases
Of the roads which were shown by an
investigation last winter to be giving
secret rates to grain shippers. en-
rhasiZes the fact that the criminal

to cents, in some instances 10 cents

than he had maid for some time be-
fore these iniurctions took effect. this
is not to be regarded as an argument
against the injunctions. There ought
to be some power, which can compel
them to publish a fair and reasonable
rate. Thirty-eight formal proceedings,

ceding year and involving rates and
