terstate Commerce Commission. They
are allsingeuious, and It IS difficult TO
tell which is the most clever method of
law-breaking.
1.-The industrial railraod is in reality
a switch track owned b. the favorite
shipper. He uses his own engines TO
haul his freight a mile or 50 to the con-
Meeting railroad and gets a division Of
the rate charged for hauling the freigt
to its destination. In ChichagO some
of the industrial roads get 20 per cent
Of the rate to the Missouri River 1t Is
| 500 miles to that point Say they haul
/ the freight FIVE miles. They do one per
cent of the work and get 20 per cent Of
the cOmpensation. This subterfuge gives
/ them a switching charge Of about So
a car, where the ordinary charge would
be about 50. The owner of the indus
trial road IN this manner gets a rebate
of 50 a car. Ingenious as well as profit
ablel
The private car line isa device where
by the favored shipper forwards his
freight in his own cars, and therailoads
make him allowances for using his own
cars instead of theirs. The railroads are
said to be generous to a fault in the
allowances they make to these private
car owners.
The fictitious damage device has
been brought out recently in the inquiry
into live stock rates. It was found that
the favored shipper brought IN a bill
for damages to his stock while in tran
sit, and the railroads were 50 taken
aback and staggered by the overwhelm
ing evidence against them that they for
got the customary practice of contesting
all damages especially damages fol
death and damage to human live stock
and paid the bills without protest.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has ferreted out all these ingenious
methods of talented law-breakeIs, but
it is largely hampered in its efforts to
check their operations for lack of author
ity. The present law to regulate com

CORPORATIONS AAIENABLE TO Law

CORPORATIONS AAIENABLE TO LAW.
''The viii of the people is the su-
preme law" 1t IS expressed in cOnsti-
tutiOnal and statute law. In our form
of government laws are either national,
state OF municipal, each with its prerog-
atives, jurisdiction, and limitations.
All citizens are amenable to law, and
none are either above 1t or below it.
We are born under law, live under law
and die under law. All property IS
under law, and all aggregations and
combinations of capital are under law
Corporations are fictitious persons
created by law, operating under a
charter. and are under special Iimita-
tiOns and restrictions. A person may
engage in merchandising and manufac-
ture at the same time. The corporation
or fictitious person, chartered simply to
sell merchandise cannot engage in man
facture under the charter II musr keep
within the limits of the charter. All
railroads are under peculiar limitations
and restrictions, and for two reasons
In the first place the state conditionly
delegates the exercise OF the right Of
eminent domain in eOndemning and
taking property for a right of way In
the second place a railroad is a com
mon carrier a quasi public institution
and, consequently, under the laws that
govern such bodies.
From the foregoing considerations it
IS plain, both IN law and equity, that
the state should by appropriate legisla-
ton regulate railroad rates, both freight
and passenger, and TX the maximum
charges. This is both the Law and the
compact between railroads and The sev-
eral states. The constitution of the
United States empowers the general
government to regulate commerce BE-
tween the states and 60 euforce uni-
iormisY n interstate rzhc arrange
