STRUGGLE Fer RATE LAW.

For two weeks arguments have been
daily made before the joint railroad
committees of the legislature, which
have under consideration the creation of
state railroad commission along the
lines of the national inter state com
mission, clothed with power to regulate
freight and passenger rates, prevent re-
bate giving, determinations between
Ii rye and small shippers, and otherwise
supervise the management of the great
public-service corporations Of the state
Up to date the railroad representatives
have mainly had their say, represented
by the ablest of their retained counsel.
II has been their contention in the past
that the state has no right to interfere,
either supervisory or directly, with their
affairs, but they today make faint con-
fession that their past contention was
deceptive. While they deny that there
is any need or demand for interference
on part Of the state, they now admit that
the state has the power and the right to
limit their operations along just lines,
and they reluctantly concede that sup
ervision is certain, and they are praying
for a commission with uncertain power.
In the late election this issue was fought
out at the polls the will Of the people
prevailed, and those members Of the
legislature true to the demands of the
people and the platform promises on
which they were elected, will submit to
the enactment of no law that fails to
give power and force for government of
these corporations which are the crea-
lures of the state. The state gave to
| these corporations their franchises, land
grants, communities bonded themselves
to aid in construction to an amount in
all more than equaling the value of the
roads Then why contend that they
are private enterprise? These questions
will revec be quoted or settled until
| correct solution is arrived at, and the
contention will be uppermost in our
politics and business till the state and
its people are fully protected in their
rights.

that the distinguished visitor was in the

dealt with the great problems of the

roads and curling of the evil effects of
trusts. Mr.. Bryan commended in the
heartiest terms the attitude Of President
