Commerce Commission Status Must

New York Sun Special Service,

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, Dec. 2O.-It is authori
tatlvely announced that President Roose-
Welt has referred to the department of
justice for an opinion on the question
OF how far the. power of the Interstate
commerce commission applies to fixing
rates and making .s regulations for
the observance Of its decisions by rail
way companies. This shows that the
administration is still working along
the lines of the Quarles- Cooper bill. =
President Roosevelt has not made any
statement to indicate that he is in favor
of or against any one Of the particular
methods suggested for securing federal
supervision of railway rates. The fact
that he has asked the attorney general
for an opinion, with the request seem
1ngly applied specifically to the legisla-
ton proposed by the Quarles- Cooper
bill, is not take nto mean that he is OBJ
posed to the legislation suggested by
Senator Elkins.
The proposal Of Senator Elllins is that
an additional circuit Judge shall be ap-
pointed in. each of the federal judicial
districts for the purpose of attending
to Interstate commerce cases and that
while these courts shall have the power
to determine whether rates fixed by the
interstate commerce commission arc
fair, the rates are not to go into effect
until after they have been affirmed bv
the court created.
The acute phase Of the agitation of
the railway rates question has passed.
however, in view Of the general coucln-
sion that no legislation on the subject
will be attempted at this session of
congress. -"

SENATE AW AKENED
BY MORTON PLAN
Rate Regulation Made the Ques-
ton of the Hour by secre-
tary's Move. .
Senators Bombarded with Letters
from the West Calling for
Action.
Special to The Journal,


Chicago, Dec. 20.--Walter Wellman in
B Washington special to the Record Her
aid says:
Railway rate regulation is the burn
ing question of the hour. An important
contribution to the discussion Of it was
made by the interstate commerce com
mission in its annual report to con gress.
1t takesupthe subjects of the regulation
OF rates, private ears and indirect dis
examinations in most interesting man
ner.
At the capitol a noteworthy change in
the sentiment of public men has taken
place. When the subject was first
preached by President Roosevelt, many
OF the more conservative senators said
no such Legislation could be enacted.
Nothing could be done. 1t was not wise.
they added, to try to regulate the uni
verse. Constitutional difficulties stood
in the way. And 50 on.
Turn in the Tide.
The turn in the tide was marked by
the appearance of Secretary Morton s
authorized interview in these dis
tors We're inclined to think Mr.. Morton
little presumptuous, for a newcomer
IN the government. One or two Of them
sneered little. But Mr.. Morton 8 in
terV1eW, met the purpose in view. 1t
demonstrated that there was way in

ltoffered tentatively workable plan of
compromise. 1t is satisfied both shippers
and railway managers that President
IRoosevelt wanted one that is Just to
both sides.
A bove all, it reused public senti-
ment: Letters by the thousand are pour
ing in, upon Washington, particularly
from the west, urging action. Most Of
the writers like the Morton plan, which
gives the shippers government supervis-
ION of rates, and gives the railroads le-
gallzed pooling of their earnings
NOW, even the most conservative SEN
ators say something must be done. Those
who scofed are now studying. All the
lawyers IN the senate are looking up the
authorities and preparing plans. The
senatorial mind is in state Of inquiry,
the necessary precedent to action.
work it out, say the leading lawyers
of the senate. "We can't do ANYTHING
at this short session, but we III thrash
the subject out this winter and during
the summer, and be ready to legislate
next winter.'
The more the senatorial students in
qulre into the matter the more they
appear to become convinced Mr.. Nor
ton has found the solution to the prob
lem. But the main thing is, the senate
has at last been stirred up. 1t is max
Ing ready to respond to the popular will
in some way. That of itself is great
achievement. And what may be called

Her white haired father clenched his
hands and strained forward; the earl Of
