EROM OTHER PENS

@SUPPORTING" THE PRESIDENT.
Senator Foraker's handling of the
rate issue must have appeared rather
puzzling to those in the audience who
had a vivid recollection of President
Roosevelt's careful and deliberate
nent question. The senator's idea of
supporting the president was rather
peculiar. He objected to the proposal
Of the Ohio Democrats that rate
making power be lodged in the hands
of the commerce commission. Such
Legislation, he asserted, would be both
unwise and unjust, and, besides, the
evils complained of by shippers and
consumers in connection with rebates,
determinations and excessive charges
could be cured without it. Now, Mr..
Roosevelt has repeatedly recommend
ed and urged legislation lodging in
the commerce commission Cor some
other fit trIbunaI) power to prescribe
and order into immediate effect rea-
sonable rates in place OF rates found
on investigation to be unfair and un-
reasonable. Does Senator Foraker
consider this a general proposal to
confer the rate-making power on the
commission or the government, or
does he distinguish between the power
to correct rates and the power to
make them in the first instance?
Railway managers and attorneys have
vehemently denied that such a dis
tinction is practically possible. They
contend that the power to substitute
rate is the power to make and un-
make all rates. The Ohio senator in
the same speech said that rates are
so interdependent that there is no
such thing as changing one without
affecting many" which is exactly
what the opponents of the presidents
rate proposal are claiming. Does Sen
ator Foraker think he is supporting
the president on the rate issue Chi

.TW!0.CENT FARE i. !.
!. BILL IS COMING
Continued from First Page.

The supine attitude of the state COM
mission has been reproach to the
republican party in Minnesota for the
past four years. The excuse made for
the commission is that it's powers are
too limited. The intention Of the new
bill is to give the commission ample
powers, and then throw the responsible
ity right on their shoulders. If they
"make good'' it will be another strong
card for the republican candidates in
the next campaign. At any rate, the
legislature will have done it's duty.
This measure may not make its ap-
pearance until the joint committee to
investigate rates has finished it's work.
This committee may or may not produce
results. Senator Eberhart, who intro
duced the original resolution, says he
does not know that rate bill will be
the outcome. f'There must be some
thing wrong where there is so much
CONF laint,'' says the Mankato senator,
"and the object Of this inquiry is to
find out where the wrong is and correct
it. If we succeed in locating the trou-
BILE. we will recommend legislation to
correct 1t. -
Not Hopeful q the Inquiry
The result of the inquiry cannot be
foretold. Some Of the members, who
are anxious to see the session make a
record, are not very sangulne for the
committee. They are not satisfied, from
its membership, that the question will
be sifted to the bottom, and they. are
not so sure that the ablest committee
selected could work out anything prac-
tical from the maze Of rate sheets that
will be spread before the members
eyes. There are explanations of some
sort for every rate. AS far as data
are concerned, practically everything
the committee can use is already in the
hands Of the railroad and warehouse
commission. The doubling Tmomases
say that the commission is better
equipped to revise rates, if once given
power, than any aggregation of law
makers. Rate regulation is one of the
main things the commission exists for,
and as a republican arm of the state
government, it should be given the
power and permitted to act. The Eber-
| hart committee is formed exactly on
| the recommendation of Governor John.
son, who advised a legislative inquiry
/ because the railroad commission had
not shown disposition to do such
4 work. The governors inference is adj
mitted, but the republican leaders who
are getting their heads together think
it is only fair to give the commission
all possible power and put il, to fina
test. The new year has brought {
1 change in the personnel of the commits
sion, which may result in more active
attitude.
