Interstate Rate Making.

One Of the most plausible arguments
advanced by the advocates OF political
alternating is that if the interstate
commerce commission can determine
lhat a rate IS unjust or unreasonable,
it is equally able To determine what rate
would be just and reasonable. This does
not at all follow.
The interstate commerce commission
may be perfectly competent to determine
that rate Is unjust and unrea Souabe
while il il unable to say what rate is
Just and reasonable. The reason for
this Is that what makes rate unjust
or unreasonable, is its effect upon the
commerce of the public, and that is sus
Ceptible of proof and relatively easy of
determination. But what makes rate
just and reasonable is quite another
matter, and involves, besides the mega
tive proposition that it shall not impede
or impair the commerce of the people,
the very important and vital Affirmative
proposition that it shall give the carrier
his full legal compensation, rs well as
that no rate shall be imposed upon him
that will impede or impair his CONNER
Cial prosperity,
The facts are that all rates are SC
closely iutcr-rclatcd to other rates that il
would not be possible for the interstate
commerce commission 10 lay its hands
on a single rate or set of rates without
upSettlng and disturbing hundreds of
other rates. 1t is as impossible to limit
the ratc-making power, either of the
commission or the carrier 10 the pre-.

Ii would seem a much more logical so

than impose upon il something that it
cannot do. Ii the law empowers the

MEN ROUTE TO SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA.
Through Trains from Chicago.

With the opening OF the line across
southern Utah and southwest Nevada,
known as the san Pedro Route, a new
country has been opened, which in area
is large enough for good sized empire,
the natural resources OF which are prac.
ticalIy untouched. This region has until
now been without railway facilities and
the laws OF trade and transportation
are such that rapid development is now
assured. The Ionopah and Goldfcld
mining camps are to be- reached by
branch lines, and there IS strong posi-.
bIlity that other mineral districts will be
discovered and developed as result OF
this new enterprise.
The facilities with which Southern
California and this newly opened portion
of Nevada can be reached IN future are
indicated by the announcement from the
passenger department OF the Chicago u
Northwestern R'y that a daily service
OF through Pullman tourist sleeping cars
via this route is to be inauguratel be-
tween Chicago and Los Angeles in a few

 In the middle of it all local hold CTS recur to the consolidation talk and wonder just how far this feature is to blame for present conditions. Although prices have retreated so ex- tensively it is believed that very few shares in the Copper Country have been let go, the opinion here being that this is the logical moment to take on still more of what all recog- nize is a good thing.
 Consolidation has certainly been vigorously boosted by Iron Ore and one would think from reading that paper that the Copper Country peo- pie were solidly opposed to consoli- dation.
 This is not at all true. Our people believe that consolidation will be a good thing but they do not believe that it is wise to bring it on now and that all the talk indulged in regard ing its present introduction only op- crates to the detriment of the stock of the several companies by weaken ing public confidence in them-a re suit which Iron Ore claims IL would wish to avoid.

 The Calumet and Arizona dividend has already assumed permanent place in the minds of plenty of people here and they do not fancy being jostled out of it very soon. Then too, the plan of having four million shares in the new organization is condemned here as being entirely too large.
 It is easy to hear things here re garding Bonanza Circle stocks for they are much in the public eye, and it is freely predicted that those who are now throwing over Bonanza Cir cle stocks, to get into the Montana proposition. will soon come racing back for them and will probably have to pay smart fines for their absence.
 Talk that has lately filtered through is to the effect that L. s. 6 P. is not looking so attractive as it once did, as it is realized that the ores so far shown are of too low grade quality at least the talk runs so. But peo- pie will get away from the fact that

the directors and in all those who have active charge of the various de partments of the work of the Bonanza Circle and there is little doubt that those who stand by the entire proposi- tion now will have every reason to be satisfied with their actions.
 It is denied here that present con- solidation has anything like such widespread support as is claimed for it by Iron Ore and some of the reasons given for the amalgamation by the paper from the iron town are locally considered pretty thin. The Circle is going along very well as it is and i'm patient fussiness can only bring harm to all concerned in 1t and should be avoided and condemned.

Calumet. March 29.-The big drop in Bisbee stocks has been a complete surprise all the way round and local brokers feel about like the Russian generals at the present time-wonder- ing when they will have a rest.
 Endeavoring to encourage the timid holders, brokers point out that it is a sure sign that when every one gets nervous, the stocks are on the bottom. They say the curbs are all paid for and as they all have the intrinsic worth there is absolutely no need for worrying and that the only wise plan is to put the certificates away and wait for the market to come around to normal.
 The dealers say right out loud that the ''big fellows" failing to get what they were after, have dumped big lots of the shares on the market thus precipitating the present condi- ton.
 Glancing about in the cold dawn are to be seen some holders who wonder if they have really been listening to large gobs of hot air about the value of the holdings and meekly al lowed the big lads to unload.
