doubtful taste, but gave the order When
the meal was just begun the host rose
from the table for few minutes to speak

Board of Controls Failure With the
University.

The board of control is Succeeding
no better in administering the univer
sity than opponents Of the inclusion of
the university within its authority
predicted. The experience with board
of control management of the states
greatest institution, up to date, is very
unsatisfactory.
In taking over the financial manage
ment OF the university the board had
thrust upon 1t a responsibility it did
not seek, and that was not included
In the original scheme of the board
of control system. You cannot satis
Iactorlly separate the purely educa-
tonal from the business side Of such
an institution as the university. To
give one board the control Of the bust
ness and another the control of the
educational policy is an annoying and
dangerous division of authority.
So much could be and was said on
a priori grounds. It can now be re-
peated from the facts. -
I The exasperating delays in paying
the salaries of the professors, instruc-
tors and employees Of the university
last spring and summer are we'll
known to the public. For the most
part the recipients Of these salaries
are poor men who are in real need
of their salaries as soon as thew are
due. To, keep them waiting a month:
Tor salaries Is not only a nuisance but
an actual hardship to them. . $,
The running expenses of the univer
sity are provided for by appropria-
ton, taxation, income from the uni
Versity fund, etc. The funds are as
sured, and routine expenses such as
salaries ought to be met promptly.
The board Of control ought to be equal
70 such g. business problem. The re-
gents were always able to solve II.
The professors were not compelled to
walt for their salaries until an amount
sufficient to meet them was actually
In the treasury of the university. The
regents knew that the money was sure
to come, and they saw that salaries
were paid. 1t was supposed that dur
Ing the summer the board Of control
had made arrangements to paw sal
aries promptly, but it failed again on
the first month of this college year.
Salaries were promised last Friday,
but were not forthcoming; then they
We're promised for Tuesday,; again
they were delayed, and now the prom
Use Is that they will be paid next Fri
day. This is scarcely good business
management.
Take the matter of supplies The
board OF control, in the first place, has
TO insist upon longtime notice Of
requirements, and it has answered
some of the complaints on this score
by saying that those making requisi-
lions We're not careful to make them il,

A La Crosse paper aserts that the rail-
ways are to make an attempt to with
draw national aid from the Improvement
of the upper Mississippi. 1t is not likely
that they will succeed. To make good the
SIS, 100000 already spent on that reach of
water, the work must be kept up More
over, it is certain that in the near future
the river below st. Louis will be improved
to such an extent that st. Louis will be
something Of a seaport. The moment the
river below that city is provided with a
deep channel, upper river navigation will
have a new Importance. With New York
state considering spending SOL 900, 900 on
the Erie canal, the Mississippi valley can
hardly conclude that the day of inland
navigation has passed. The very fact that
the railways oppose river Improvement is
argument enough for its continuance.

Not an Unreasonable Demand.

Talk, of amending the Interstate
commerce law at the approach Of
every session Of congress is familiar
as household Words The last con-
gress did some amending which was
pronounced satisfactory by the gem
tlemen of the Interstate commissi on,
but it has been found that the Elkins
bill, which was enacted at the last
session of congress, contained no pro-
vision to prevent unjust discrimina-
ton in rates between different locali-
ties or sections, in freight classical
ton, or between carload and less than
carload rates, and no specific protec-
ton is afforded against the contin-
uance of rates unreasonable in them
selves. ..G...s, .t~..- H.. 81 ...ss
The executive committee of the in
terstate commerce law convention, an
organization which has been strongly
influential in pushing the cause of
shippers as against the unjust dis
examinations of the railways, proposes
commerce law removed by giving the
commission authority to determine on
full hearing of the parties inter
ested, what change of rate or prac-
tice found to be unreasonable or dis
criminative, shall be made to correct
the wrong, such determination becom-
ing operative at once, while subject
to review by any federal circuit court
having jurisdiction over. such cause.
This provision appeared in the
Elkins' bill introduced in the last con-
gress, but it was rejected, altho it was
a really essential clause of, the bill
which offered a correction of sthe very
obnoxious defect Of the Interstate
commerce law. ss @F4av $&5sl
The interstate commerce law was
enacted sixteen years ago for the ex-
press purpose Of preventing unjust
railway determinations and favoritism
to big shippers and to secure stable
and reasonable rates for all. Since
the law was passed the tendency. Of
the court decisions has been to restrict
the powers Of the commission within
the narrowest limits until it has been
said, with something very like justif-
cation, that the commission was
clothed solely with the power to
scold.'' While it has not been as bad
as that, it does seem rather absurd
that congress should strike out of the
Elkins bill the section which alone
gave vitality to the determinations of
the commission and made them imme-
diately operative, while subject to
federal circuit court review. Surely,
if the commission IS to amount to any
thing serious, it ought to have the
power denied to it by the supreme
court, of naming specific rates thru
it's decisions and enforcing it's own de-
crees, subject to a judicial decision as
to their reasonableness and justice.
Where is the peril to the republic or
the public in such arrangement?
None whatever. .. ri
It is such essential strengthening of
the commission which congress will be
asked to effect next winter.
