worst Of the three evils if such they
may be called
In the opinion of Mr.. Morton, govern
ment ownership of our railroads would
be beginning of industrial and political
chaos.
He rather favors the first proposition
with adequate provision to assure rates
being reasonable.
AS to pending legislation Mr.. Morton
favors the continuance of interstate
commerce commission in substantially
its present form, saying:
'sLet it go on making Investigations
and findings, if it finds a rate is unreal
sonable (either too high or too low, ev-
erything else being considered), let 1t
order such rates as it deems reasonable
and if the railroads do not make them
effective in 80 days then the entire
matter to be referred to a central court
Of transportation of, say, three or five
members, to be created to especially
consider and expedite all questions of
interstate commerce so far as the trans
pOrtatiOn of the country is concerned,
it being understood that this central
court shall have power to adjudicate in
all such cases except those involving
constitutional questions; and the find
ings of the court in interstate matters
to be final
Il would urge severe punishment for
railroads or steamboat lines engaged in
interstate commerce which by any de-
vice protected rates. commission or in
any way afforded preferential rates,
and the punishment should be just as
severe to shippers or commission
agents seeking or receiving them. I
would permit the railroads to divide
their earnings or tonnage among them
selves, fling all such agreement with
the interstate commerce commission for
its information and would make these
contracts enforceable as between the
railroads. I would do this as an insur-
ance to the small shippers securing the
lowest rate and as a protection to the
transportation against the vast ton
mage and consequent temptation offer
ed by the big shippers which so fire.
quently have been used to secure inside
rates. If these contracts were illegal
or against public policy or unreasonable
in restraint of trade, then let them be
reviewed by the same court of COM
merce.
Il would favor, even if it were nee
essary to have a constitutional amend
ment to accomplish it, the declaration
that all transportation by rail was
hereafter to be considered interstate
commerce and subject only to federal
supervision, thereby relieving the states
of this prerogative and establishing one
central regulation-the federal power.
7 would make it impossible for 9TH
ers than those directly interested as
shippers or commercial bodies to bring
suits for action under the interstate

I would favor an agitation and
shaping of public opinion that would
not tolerate such a thing as a prefer
entail rate and would make it equally
to grant or receive it. The

meets the views of all good citizens,

DEWEY is CLEARED AGAIN
TRIED BEFORE AIASONS AT
SMITH CENTER
Charge Brought in Lodge at Atwood,
Kan, But Taken to Smith Center
on Change Of Venue.

Chauncey Dewey, Of Dewey ranch
fame in Rawlins county, was tried
before the Masonic lodge at Smith
Center on the charge Of un-MasOnic
conduct
Dewey is a member Of the lodge at
Atwood, Rawlins county, and was
made a Mason there after locating
his ranch in western Kansas. Charges
were preferred against him in the At
wood lodge, by members, and the
charges grew out Of the shooting Of
the Berry family. Dewey asked for
a change Of venue and it was granted
by Grand Master Peters to the Smith
Center lodge
Only MaSOns were permitted at the
trial, and only members Of the lodge
sit as jurors Dewey is a thirty-sec-
Ond degree Mason, and lives in Chi
cagO now.
Dewey's trial, together with that of
Clyde Wilson and W J. Mcbride,
ended in acquittal before the civil court
at Norton about one year ago.
1t will be a long time before feel
