Commissions Authority Limited.

The railroad commission of Alabama is
statutory body, and derives Its powers
from the act creating it.
Section 10 of the act of the legislature
of Alabama, approved February 2S, 1903
prescrbes:
THAT the commission shall exercise a
watchful and careful supervision over all
tarlfrs and their operations, and revise
the same from time to time as justice to
the public and the railroads may re-
quire, and increase and reduce any of the
rates as experience and business opera
lions may show to be just. but N revis-
ing the tariffs the commissioners shall
take into consideration the nature of the
service to be performed the entire bust
ness of the railroad, its earnings from
passenger and other traffic. and so revise
the same as to allow a fair and Just re
turn on the value of the railroad, its APP
purtenances and equipments
This provision that rates shall be fixed
so as to allow a fair and Just return Is
in harmony with judicial Interpretation
of the fourteenth amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States to the effect
that a state law or regulation made
hereunder establishing rates for trans
portation by railroad which deprives
the carrier of just compenss ton, is re-
pugnant to the fourteenth constitutional
amendment in that it aeprives the car
rer of its property without due process
of law. and denies to it the equal pro-
lection of the laws
Following are some of the adjudieations
of the court of last resort touching this
question:
In the case of Stone VS.. Farmers Loan
and Trust company ZIG, United States 307,
the court speaking through Chief Justice
Waite said:
while a state has power to fix the
charges of railroad companies for the
transportation of persons and property
within its own jurisdiction, unless re-
strained by valid contract or unless what
is done amounts to 4 regulation Of for
eign or interstate commerce, such power
is not without limit; and that under pre-
tense of regulating fares and freights, the
state cannot require a railroad corpora
tion to carry persons or property without
reward; neither can It do that which in
law amounts to a taking of private prop
erty for public use without just com
pensation, or without due process of
law

Although tardy in making its final
appearance, the reward of old time
Kansas populists is complete and
gratifying. Ten years ago Kansas
populists advocated state oil refiner-
les as a relief from the curse of the
Standard Oil monopoly. At that time
the republicans cried out against the
scheme as the height of patenalism
and bemoaned the fate of Kansas
while in the hands of the reformers.
This week. the same republicans who
have belittled and abused those pop
ulist statesmen for the past 10 years.
voted to establish a state oil refinery
and appropriated 100000 of state
funds for the purpose. Thanks be to
fate and political vicissitude, most of
those heroic and abused populists
are today alive to celebrate the tri-
umphs The imperious republican
statesmen who have spent half their
lives concocting insulting epithets to
be applied to the populists, are fore
ed by the very logic of progress to
openly embrace the populist "vagary."

This is one of the ulileposts of pro-

key to the reservation and supply the
