VOTE ANALYZED SENATOR ELKINS
IS IN ERROR CONCERNING RAIL-
ROAD REGULATION.
The Senator. In an Interview. Says the Rate
Making Power Cannot be Bestowed Upon
the Interstate Commerce Commission. He
Should Look up Decisions on This Subject.

Senator Elkins of West Virginia ought
to give further study to supreme court
decisions on railroad regulation before
assuming to speak advisedly on that
subject. In an interview at Washing.
ton recently, MIR. Elkins made the
misleading assertion that since "the
United States supreme court has decided
that the fixing Of railroad rate is a
legislative and not judicial power. we
can not depend on the interstate COM
merce commission to fix the rates."
Senator Elkins meant bv this that il
congress should bestow on the commits.
sion the rate making power, the supreme
court of the United States would hold
that it had acted in violation OF the con.
stitution.
But as u matter Of fact the supreme
court has already passed favorably on
that very point. In deciding the case OF
the interstate commerce commission
against the Cincinnati, New Orleans &
Texas Railway company, the supreme
court, while making it plain that it did
not regard the commission as already
vested with such power, held that con-
gress could equip the commission with
that power. In that decision the court
says:
Congress might itself prescribe the
rates; OR 1T NIGHT COMMIT TO
SOME SUBORDINATE TRIBUNAL
THIS DUTY, or it might leave with the
companies the right to fix rates. subject
to regulations and restrictions, as we'll as
to that rule which is as old as the exist.
ence OF the common carriers, to.wit, that
rates must be reasone be."
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald reports that President
Roosevelt and his legal advisers think
this means that there was no doubt in
the opinion Of the court that congress
could constitutionally adopt one of the
three courses which the court itself
pointed out.
Senator Elkins is trifling with q great
subject and with the peoples rights
when he intimates that it will be enough
to let the railroads make the rates and
leave to United States circuit courts the
limited power OF saying that particular
rate brought before it is just or unjust.
That power is already in the hands of
the courts, and experience has shown
that it is no remedy at all, for the reason
that shippers everywhere know that it is
not worth the expense and trouble to
fight great railroad company before the
courts tor a limited decision that par
ticular rate is unjust. Even If the ship
per should win, the railroad could dodge
the issue by making "a nominal reduction
that would meet the decision of the court
without affordng the sl' 'pper real relief.
And when Senator Elkins says public
opinion could be relied upon to prevent
the railroads coming back with a trifling
rate reduction, he says that which is
contrary to the experience OF the Ameri.
can people.

Do Not Suppress A Cough.

When you have cough do not try to
suppress it, but remove the cause. The
cough is only symptom of some disease,
and the disease is what you should cule,
then the cough will stop Of itself. The
most common cause of coughing is a
cold. Anodynes will promptly suppress
the cough, and preparations containing
chloroform, opium. etc.. are used for that
purpose but they do not cure the cold.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy on the
other hand does,not suppress the cough.
but relieves It by removing from the
throat and lungs the mucus which OBJ.
structed the breathing and allaying
the irritation and tickling in the throat.
It also opens the secretions and effect.

we'll as the cough. For sale by All
