TRYING TO ABOLISH THE COMMITS.
SION.

Both the Southern and seaboard rail.
roads are kicking against the order Of tn,
Corporation Commission to construct :
union depot in Charlotte. Before maxine
the order the Commission ascertained that
neither road had an adequate depot anf
that enlargement of old depots to meet the
needs of their large and growing business
at that place was not practicable. It
therefore, issued the order and will be able
to show that the business of the roads
justifieS the union depot ordered. Of course
if the roads believe they can show that the
burden is too heavy, it is their right and
privilege to go into the courts.
The Southern Railway, in its exceptions
yesterday, not only denied the necessity
for the union depot and the right of the
Commission to compel its construction,
but went long step further and denied
that the Corporation Commission is a
legally qualified body" and seeks to have
the Commission itself abolished. 1t took
pretty much the same ground in the de-
murrage case In Greensboro, where the
Commission put in operation, by express
direction of the Legislature, the doc
trine, what is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander."
The political bosses of the Southern
Railway spent a pile of money to prevent
the establishment of the Commission and
several times killed in one branch of the
Legislature bills to create it that had
passed in the other branch. 1t finally
failed to defeat the establishment, ana
now it seeks to have the courts decree its
abolition. Nobody believes it even hopes
that the highest courts would do anything
so revolutionary Of course some little
Federal Judge, who owes his office to his
subserviency to them, may accept orders
to decree that it is not legally quail
fed body but he would be overruled by
the higher courts. The attempt to abolish
and to try to make public sentiment
against the Commission.
The Commission is here to stay, and
neither the courts nor the people will be
misled into lessening its powers, because
it is active in serving the best interests
of the public. The two things for which
the Southern Railway chiefly wishes it
abolished are the two things which make
in North Carolina. 1t is hard enough for
the public to get what their patronage
entities them to receive with a Commits
sion issuing orders and going into courts.
The condition of the travelling and ship
ping public would be intolerable if they
had no Commission to whom it could
appeal.
