unreasonable after the fullest hear
ing and argument. There is no or
der that can be made by any COM
mission or board now e-isting, or
which it is proposed to create, that
can change rate or practice that is
unreasonable or unjust without it's
order being subject to review in a
judicial proceeding in the United
States circuit court, upon the ground
of the unreasonableness of the order
of the commission, and there is not
law that does, and probably no
law could be enacted that could pre-
vent the court, if satisfied that in
justice had been done the railroads,
from staying the operations of the
order upon terms, until the court had
passed upon the merits of the contro-
verSy.

LAW WILL BE FAIR
PRESIDENT HAS NO WISH TO
HURT THE RAILWAYS
Senator Knox Explains Legislation
Planned by Roosevelt to Regulate
Transportation and Shows How
Railways Will Get Square Deal

Pittsburg, Nov. 3.-The Pittsburg
chamber of commerce banquet to-
night at the Schley hotel, which
concluded the founders day celebra-
ton. of the Carnegie institute, was an
event of national Importance, the ros-
ter of speakers being the most bril-
liant in the history of the organiza-
ton
The principal speakers were Sena-
tor Philander G. Knox, Sir Chentung
Liang Cheng, the Chinese minister;
General A. w. Greeley, commander
of the United States signal service,
and Melville E. Stone, general man
ager of the Associated Press.
The Senator's Speech
Senator Knox spoke as follows:
.'The president believes that the
power to pass upon the unreasonable
ness of challenged railroad rate or
practice should be lodged in some
tribunal upon which can be also con-
stitutionally cast the power to fix
reasonable rate or practice in lieu OF
a rate found by it to be unreasonable,
and that the rate SO fixed should be-
come as nearly Immediately operative
as possible.
"The proposition that the national
government should exercise supervis-
DRY control over the tax upon trans
portation became almost self-evident
from the time that the railroads be-
gan, through various devices, to con-
centrate this taxing power in the
hands of few men. The govern
ment's efforts to check this cOncen-
tration of power under the provisions
of existing laws should be supple
mented by legislation which will pre-
vent the abuse of the power of taxing
the movement of persons and prop
erty under any form Of concentration
or under any circumstances what
ever.
Remedy for the Mischief
'It commends itself to me to be
wiser craftsmanship to provide a
remedy for mischief in whatever
form it appears rather than to waste
time in matching the ingenuity of the
law-maker in devising laws to i'm
pose penalty for wrong as it may
appear in specific devices against the
ingenuity of the lawbreaker in try
ing to avoid its provisions by Great
ing new ones. In other words, it
would seem to be wiser to cure the
diseases that treat the symptoms.
1.-The proposition is that congress
can and should at once enact law
covering the main features of the pub
lie demand for prominent and eff
cient remedy against unjust railroad
practices, and leave to the future the
determination of the wisdom and ne
cessity of legislating in respect to
collateral and related matters.
Duty of Congress to Regulate
at is the duty of cnogress to regu-
late commerce SO as to prevent injus-
tice and imposition by the carriers,
THE proposition TO correct unrea-
sonable railroad rates and practices
goes no further than this. II Is tanta-
mount to the proposition to correct
injustice and imposition.
There Is no railroad In the United
States that can be In the slightest
degree affected by legislation giving
relief from unreasonable rates and
practices unless II Is guilty Of unrea-
scnahlo and unjust practices There

Competency of the Commission

mo advice can cure the objection to
suspending the operation Of the COM
missions finding until passed upon by
the courts. OF course, do not mean
that in an independent proceeding be-
gun in the court that the court could
not, in the exercise of it's discretionary
powers, when satisfied that the rate
fixed by the commission was unlaw-
full. enjoin its operation until final
hearing. That is a power that inheres
in the court that need not be con-
ferred by statute and probably can
not be taken away by statute.
"The competency of the commits
sion To pass upon the reasonableness
OF n challenged rate Is denied because
of the technical character of the
work, because familiarity with its re-
qulrements can only come through
long training and experience. This
argument might be potent IL II were
proposed 10 give the commission tho
power to initiate rates and practices.
This. however, Ia not the proposition.
1T Ia not proposed To confer upon
tho commission any greater or differ.
ent power than courts OF equity pcs.
aess under a we'll known branch Of
equity Jurisprudence"
The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1905-11-09
Remedy Against Injustice

I'm other words, the railroads enjoy
complete remedy against injustice
which it is not proposed to take away,
while the public has no effective
remedy against injustice. More than
such a remedy the public does not
ask. Less than such a remedy it
never should have been without.
Exactly such remedy congress
supposed it gave under the original
act to regulate commerce, and it was
applied in a number of cases before
the decision OF the supreme court that
it was not given by the act.
"The administrative features of the
power inherent in congress to fix rea-
sonable rates for transportation may
be lawfully vested in the interstate
commerce commission. This includes
the power to vest in the commission
authority to substitute reasonable
rate for one found by it to be un-
reasonable.

Technical Objections

1T has frequently been declared tt
be the law that congress cannot vesi
the power to fix tolls in any constitu
tional court, because the fixing of q
toll is a legislative, and not judicial
act, and congress cannot impose the
performance of non-judicial duties
upon the courts which exercise the
judicial power of the United States.
ut is equally clear that congress
cannot give an appeal from a non
judicial OF administrative body to a
judicial body for the purpose Of re-
viewing administrative acts by cor
recting them by decreeing a new act
as in judicial appeal, and this dis
poses of what l understand to be the
main contention between the advo
Gates of the proposition that a rate
fixed by the commission should GO
into effect at once and the advocates
of that proposition that it should not
go into effect until approved by a
court upon appeal. 1t is perfectly
evident that, if the court in the first
instance could not perform the legis-
lative act of fixing a reasonable rate,
it could not perform the same act on

WEAR HATS IN CHURCH.
Women Comply Nth Rector,s Re
ouest-He Quotes st. Paul.

As the result OF an article in "St. Johns
RuIIetin." a church publication conducted by the
Rev. Edward L. stoddard, rector Of St johns
Episcopal Church, Jersey City. nearly every
woman who attended services at the church last
night wore a hat of some description copy
of the Bulletin was placed in every pew IN the
morning when many hatless women were pres
ent but after reading the article in question
which is understood to have been written by DR..
stoddard, they apparently decided to accept his
advice. There were few hatless women present
last night.
DR. stoddard based his article on the seventh
CHAPTER of 1 Corinthians in which he says St
Paul distinctly forbids women to remain bare
headed in church. The reason for this, he says,
is that the glory Of woman is her hair and nat
uralIy she devotes much time to its care 1t is
practically one Of her chief vanities and there
fore she should not display it in church. 1t is
true a woman may attract as much attention
by a gaudy hat as by elaborate coifure. but
the cases are not exactly parallel In one case
the attraction is due to the hat but in the other
It is due to the woman's personal and physical
charm and it is to this St Paul objects. DR..
Stoddard's article also condemns the practice
of throwing rice at church weddings, which he
considers frivolous and unseemly.
