BONAPARTE
SAVES MONEY FOR NAVY

To George Campbell, an officer OF the
Great Northern railroad, Secretary Bon
aparte recently reiterated his position
concerning the carrying Of supplies for
the navy. The Secretary's stand in the
matter is contrary TO that OF his prede-
cessor. Paul Morton, who held that such
supplies should be carried across the
continent only by those railroads whose
lines were wholly in the United States.
Mr.. Bonaparte has ordered that such
supplies be shipped at the best possible
rate for the Navy Department, no mat
ter over what lines they go, and the
complaint of Mr.. Campbell was that
the Canadian Pacific could offer rebates
and un6erbid the American lines.
In reply. Mr.. Bonaparte said that was
not his business. He wanted the best
rate the department could get, and sug-
gested that Mr.. Campbell apply to Con-
gress for relief. This Mr.. Campbell said
he would do.

Testifying before the Senate Com.
mittee at Washington, Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Prouty said in
discussing the proposition 10 give that
commission the power to regulate rail
way rates:
81 think the railways should make
their own rates. L think .hey should
be allowed to develop their own bust
ness. | have never advocated any
law, and l am not now in favor of any
law, which would put the rate making
power into the hands of any commits.
sion or any court. While it may be
necessary TO do that some time, while
that is done in some States at the
present time, while it is done in some
countries, l am opposed to it. The
railway rate is property. 1t is all the
property that the railway has got. The
rest of its property is not good for
anything unless it can charge rate.
Now it has always seemed to me that
when rate was fixed, if that rate was
an unreasonable rate, it deprives the
railroad company of its property pro
tanto. 1t is not necessary that you
should confscate the property of a
railroad; it is not necessary that you
should say that it shall not earn three
per cent. or four per cent. When you
put in rate that is inherently I'M
reasonable, you have deprived that
company of its rights, of its property,
and the Circuit Court of the United
States has jurisdiction under the four
teenth amendment to restrain that. /
have looked at these cases great
many times, and can only come to the
conclusion that n railroad company is
entitled to charge fair and reasonable
rate, and if any order of commission,
If any statute of State Legislature,
takes away that rate, the fourteenth
amendment protects the railway COM
pany."
