Americans everywhere and church
men everywhere.
The project is large. 1t will require
large means. And there is assurance
that the bishop of Washington and
those others who cooperate with
him IN behalf of the institution ap-
preciate both the Iargeness Of their
undertaking and the need for build

planning carefully. building thor

The New Rate Measure.

II Is with some satisfaction lhdt
The Times gives its readers today
the first complete statement of the
railroad regulation measure that has
been laid before the Senate Com
mittee on Interstate Commerce.
This Measure represents the widest
experience and the greatest skill in
getting around the technicalities that
have been discovered and charted on
the maps of legal procedure in the
years since the interstate commerce
law was first passed. 1t comes from
the fullness of the Interstate Com
missions experience. modified and
tempered by the legal wisdom and
legislative knowledge of the strong
est men who have been in the coun-
seis Of the committee concerning this,
the supreme issue of the session 1t
is believed 10 be open to no dangerous
objection on the ground of uncon-
stitutionality or of unfairness. It
will, indeed, require much ingenuity
for the Supreme Court or any other
court to remain consistent with the
principles and dicta heretofore laid
down in decisions on this subject of
interstate commerce, and at the same
time throw any bricks through this
measure. It has been drawn with
the most careful purpose of getting
past the court and yet making an
effective bilE
No man familiar With the present
law and with its weaknesses, who
will study this measure as it is set
forth In The Times today, will be
able able fairly to charge that it is a
compromise. Comparison of its Wig
orous, straightforward provisions
with those of the Foraker bill that
was presented last week, and in
which every day has discovered new
aud vital objections. will convince
that no concession has been made by
the friends of the Administration.
The commission is given power over
railroads, express companies, private
car lines, and over all the process
incident to transportation, such as
refrigeration, elevation, etc. The
power TO fix rate. either maximum
or minimum. or 10 name a differ
ential. or to prescribe new practice
in place of an Objectionable one, is
conferred in specific terms
There are many significent and
highly important features of the
measure which will repay a care
/ faI reading of The Times resume OF
its terms Thus. the commission is
given power 10 enforce degree OF
publicity in railroad affairs that has
never been dreamed OF.
The best thing about this bill,
however. is that there seems every
reason TO believe that, without sub
stantial or emaseulatory modihca-
ton, it viii pass. The trend toward
the President has changed from a
tendency to a rush. from a rush tc
an avalanche. There will be opposi.
ton and demand for modification
