NEBRASKA IS

The battleship Nebraswa, under

While at Bremerton the battle
ship will have her propellers set,

work will not be. ;nterfered with.
This will be her only docking until
just prior to her official trip next

1t is possible she may return to

her builders may desire to test her
machinery. The big guns and ri

real power over rates. Any scheme
by which the railways can get the
question into the courts will salts
fy the railways.
The Elkins scheme is to have
every order of the commission sub
Ject to review by the courts on the
ground of "reasonableness." The
president is willing to have the
commissions orders, reviewed ON
the ground of "leSkety;" but for a
court to review "reasonableness" of
every order made by the commits
sion would amount to turning over
the whole rate correcting function
to the courts--a thing which the
supreme court has determined to
be uncons titutional.
If the power of review by the
court amounts to anything, it takes
away the power from the commits.
sion. If it does not amount to any
thing, why give it? That is tho
whole argument as summed up by
Attorney General Moody.
The move is now up to Senator
Elkins. He and his committee have
been grinding away at their daily
affairs behind closed doors. He
has not made public the text of
the bill which he is planning to
report after the holidays. But
President Roosevelt has seen the
Elkins bill, and has disapproved Of
1t. He believes, and he Is backed
in this opinion by Root, Taft and
Moody, that it has the little joker"
in it. That is to say, that it has a
legal phrasing calculated to render
the whole rate act practically null
and void.
So the administration has sprung
the Dolliver bill.
What will Elkins do? How will
his committee report? VIII he keep
up the pretense that he Is support
ing the administration and has
come out as a supporter of the Dol
liver bill? Or will he let the corr
mittee divide and report his bill as
minority report? He does not
have to decide right off. The
Christmas holidays will give time
J to think it over.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 81
The Dolliver bill is the nearest
thing to an administration bill that
has yet made its appearance. 1t is
not being billed as te Roosevelt
BILL" for certain reasons. But any
one who is interested in rate legis-
lation will do well to keep an eye
on this Dolliver bill.
After the holidays there will be
a Hepburn bill in the house of rep
resentatives. 1t will look so much
like the Dolliver bill that an expert
will be unable to tell them apart.
The Dolliver bill Is different from
the Foraker, the Ellins and all the
railway backed bills In this import
ant particular: it gives a genuine
power to an administration com.
mission to correct rates. 1t leaves
no room for law suit jugglery by
which the commissions orders may
be set aside and its hands tied.
How does it avoid the pitfalls
By giving the whole rate correct

merce commission, and providing
for no appeal to the courts except
that which the constitution of the
United States insures. and which
no act of congress can take away.
The railroads are protected al
ways by the constitutional safe
guard that private property may
not be taken without due process

the commission SO abuses its power
as to confiscate the property of a
railway or to make a rate which
has the effect of confiscating prop

get an injunction and have the or.
