AGREE WITH THE MAIL.

The Stockton Mail, inwriting upon
the freight rate evil and the possible
effect Of the Hearst bill, comments as
follows:
'The Mail is not informed as to the
propriety of the details of Mr. Hearst's
bill, but Units general principles it g
a measure urgently demanded by pres
ent conditions If We are to have the
Interstate Commission at all it should
bbe given power to regulate trans
porotation charges with such effect

people will be fully protected. Com |

thing of the past Unless some power !
intervenes to protect the people, the |
principle of all the traffic will bear

the money paid for the products of our

AT the present time, when the COM

case is taken into the Federal Courts,
and after it has been delayed by the
numerous methods known too the law,
decision is rendered, probably after
the original parties to the action have
died Or forgotten all about it. Then
the transportation company can make
soome trifing alteration. in the rate
and thus keep from committing con-
Tempt ooof court"
The Gazette feels very much the
same as the Mail about this question.
In commenting on recent decision
regarding a, freight suit a few days
ago we expressed the hope that some
thing would be done to alleviate this
most oppressive burden of the shippe'
This paper does not care who fathers
the needed legislation. If Mr.. Hearst's
bill covers the ground SO that just
rates have to prevail then we hope
that Mr.. Hearst's bill will become a

As far as any good coming out OF

rejoice If Mr.. Hearst should bring
about the desired effect.
