Rate Tribunal Needed.

The details must rest with the law
makers of the two houses of congress-;
but about the principal there can be no
doubt. Hasty or vindictive action would
merely work damage; but In temperate,
resolute fashion, there must be lodged In
especially over rebates-whether secured
by means OF private cars, Of private
tracks, in tho form Of damages, or COM
missioners, or in any other manner-which
will protect alike the railroad and the
shipper, and put the big shipper and the
little shipper on an equal footing. Doubt
less no law would accomplish all
that enthusiasts hope: there is al
ways disappointment over the results
Of such law among the oversangutne;
but very real and marked good has come
from the legislation and administration
Of the last few years; and now, as part OF
coherent plan, 1t is entirely possible
and indeed, necessary to enact an addi-
tional law which will mean further prog
ress along the same lines Of definite
achievement in the direction Of securing
fair dealing as between man and man.
In some such body as the interstate
commerce commission there must be
| lodged in effective shape the power to see
| that every shipper who uses the railroads
and every man who owns or, manages
| a. railroad shall on the one hand be given
Justice and on the other hand be required
! to do Justice Justice-so far as 1t Is hui
manly possible to give and to get justice
is the foundation Of our government.
We are not trying to strike down the
rich man; on the contrary, we will not
! tolerate any attack upon his rights We
are not trying to give an Improper ad-
vantage to the poor man because he is
| poor, to the man of small means because
he has not larger means; but we are str1v-
Ing to see that the, man Of small means
has exactly as good chance, so far as
we can obtain it for him, as the man Of
larger means; that there shall be equality
of opportunity for the one as for the
! other. .a.--

President Roosevelt Emphasizes
Urgent Demand for Rate
Supervision.

Philadelphia, Jan. sl.-President
principal speaker last night at the tor
ty-second anniversary banquet Of the
Union League. He occupied a seat in
Presdent Il st e giessS Of the Union MON
] League, on his right, and United States
Senator Penrose on his left.
Seated at the same table were former
Postmaster General Charles Emory
Smith Congressman Bingham, Surgeon
General Rixey, Major General Frederick
D. Grant, Lieutenant General s. B. NJ.
Governor Stokes, New Jersey. and
Mayor Weaver, Philadelphia. -
In introducing President Roosevelt,
Mr.. Stotesbury referred to him as the
only vice president who, having succeed
ed to the office Of president, thru the
death Of his predecessor, retained that
office by the votes OF the people.
President Warmly Greeted.
When President Roosevelt arose to
make his address he was greeted with
long continued applause. He said:
This club was founded to uphold the
hands Of Abraham Lincoln when he stood
as the great leader in the struggle fol
union and liberty. We have right, there
fore, to appeal to this club for aid in
every governmental or social effort made
along the lines marked out by Lincoln
The great president taught many lessons
which we who come after him should
learn. Among the most important OF
! these was the lesson that for veal or fol
woe we are indissolubly bound together
in whatever part of the country we live
whatever our social standing, whatever
I our wealth or our poverty, whatever form
Of mental or physical activity our life
| work may assume. Lincoln, who was
more emphatically than any other presi'
dent we have ever had, the president Of
the plain people, was yet as far removed
as Washington himself from the slightest
faint Of demagogy. With his usual far.
sighted clearness Of vision he saw that ir
a republic such as ours permanent pros
perity Of any part of our people was con
ditioned upon the prosperity Of all; anG
that on the other hand any effort to raise
the general level of happiness by striking
at the well-being of portion Of the peo
pie could not but be in the end disastrous
| to all. ~, r. - u IS .,

Chairman McNalr of the Railroad
Commission announces that in the
near future the body will take up the
subject of a thorough revision of local
rates being charged by express com
panies operating in the state. Mr..
McNair is convinced, from complaints
frequently made to the commission,
that some of the rates charged in this
State are excessive and badly in need
of revision. The express companies
will be requested to file schedules
showing all local tariffs applicable in
Mississippi, and when these are re-
ceived and examined the commission
win undertake to make the necessary
corrections, For instance Chairman
McNalr has found that the lowest r.
cal rate charged between points on
the Gulf & Ship Island road is rs cents
per 100, and he regards this as entire
ly too high.
