one party nor the other, but only the
question of what is fair and reasonable.
Take this power away from them and
give 1t to the interstate commerce COM
mission, and you have created an ar
bitter of rates pledged not to fix them
according to reasonableness but to
level them ever downward by reducing
the higher to the level of the lower;
holding, prima facie, that the lowness
is proof of reasonableness.
The position is impossible. The
American people will not sanction it.
They believe in fair play. They GER
tainly do want railroad rates regulated
and rates kept at reasonable figure.
They do not want them reduced or
kept below that mark; first, because it
would be unjust; ard, second, because
it would react upon themselves by
crippling all the railroads of the coun-
try, impairing their service and injur-
ing every element and almost every
man in the community. What is need
ed is not rate inherently and intrin-
sically low, nor one inherently or in
trinsically high, but one that is reason
able. A body of men pledged, by pre-
cept and example, to call the lowest
rate the most reasonable is not fitted to
apply this rule.

mand before 1t is too late. But the
majority of the party is the personal.
private and paid-for property of the
big protected industries. These men
have no more voice or vote Of their
own than any other salaried employees.
They are going in the last event to do
the will Of their masters
What the administration will do with
the tariff depends absolutely upon what
the monopoly managers determine. If
these latter believe that 1t will serve
their interests best to make pretense
Of tariff changes, they Will allow an
extra session to be called and have con-
gress go through the notions 1t will
then make some changes in the sched-
ules which will neither relieve the peo-
pie nor diminish the profits of the
trusts. If these gentlemen who pull
the strings by which Republicans are
moved decide this to be unsafe, they
will order congress to do nothing and
the president to call no extra session.
In either case they will be obeyed.
The little joker of tariff revision is in
the hands of very expert manipulators,
and neither President Roosevelt nor
the members Of congress have anything
to say as to the little cup under which
it will finally appear.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Lumbermen Not Responsible for Cutting
Forests, but for Fires

To the Editor of The Globe:
/ think there is a confused idea as TO
the responsibility of lumbermen for the
destruction of forests. That the timber
lands belonging to the United States are
being. and for many years have been,
disposed of In a lavish manner is the
fault of congress for which the people
as whole are responsible. The lumber
men having invested their capital in
standing timber have a right to cut it,
and they will do SO just as fast as they
forest land around the sources of the
principal rivers that is better adapted
for forestry than fer agriculture and
which should be kept In forest and man
would help maintain waterf1ow and be
for the public interest. But we cannot
expect individuals to hold forest land for
the benefit of the public. II the public
should buy 1t and hold it for that pur-
pose the same as the states of New York
and Pennsylvania are now doing.
1t is another thing in regard to burn
ing slaShings-topS and refuse left in
logging. Most lumbermen heretofore have
been unwilling to make any sacrifice to
burn their slashings, but now that the
tops and refuse are being piled and
der the so-called Morris act of congress
at an expense of not exceeding 25 cents
per thousand feet of logs and in a man
Ier satisfactory to all parties it may be
hoped that the lumbermen in this state
will approve of law requiring the pilfng
and burning of a sufficient amount of the
tops and refuse to prevent danger from
fire to remaining standing timber. In
such case / would myself recommend
that the state incur the expense of burn
ing sufficient amount of present slash
ings to prevent danger from fire to any
valuable standing timber and for the
needed protection Of settlers and villages

VIOLENCE TO JUDGE
Florida Congressman Is ATT
tackled in Connection With
Swayne Case

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The house
today devoted its entire session to dis
cussion of the impeachment charges
against Judge Charles Swayne. of the
Northern district of Florida. A dra-
matte incident occurred when Mr.Iittle-
field, of Maine, called on Mr.. Lamar
OF Florida, who filed the charges
against the judge, to admit or repudiate
an alleged interview which the former
claimed tended to incite the people to
commit an act of violence against
Judge Swayne~
view. but emphatically denied any sug-
gestion from him that could be con-
strued into advising assassination or
murder. He said that although Judge
SWayne was known to be the most law
less man in Florida, he had remained
secure from bodily harm.
Mr. Palmer Pa.), chairman of
pare the case against Judge Swayne.
explained the majority report He
oehned what constituted impeachable
o1enses and said Judge could be i'm
peached for any misbehavior. Ee gave
a resume of the twelve articles of i'm
feachment
Ship Subsidy in the Senate
The legislative appropriation bill was
read in the senate and there was dis
cusslon of the civil service question
and provision for Investigation of
foreign trade conditions by the depart
ment of commerce. The bill for the
encouragement of the merchant marine
was reported favorably and Mr. Bailey
made the point that the commission
had been pledged to report in favor of
discriminating duties and not in favor
of ship subsidies. The suggestion was
combatted by Senators Gallinger and
Lodge, who were members of the COM
mission.
Mr.. Gallinger, in reporting the bill
said that the committee would file the
report of the commission as it's own.
Mr.. Berry stated that a minority of
the commission opposed a favorable
report. The bill as reported by the
commission was amended in ONLY one
important particular by the commerce
committee. An increased annual mail
subvention was authorized for the pro-
posed new route from a port on the
Pacific coast to Hawaii, Japan, China
and the Philippines. For a monthly
service the Subvention was increased
from 100000 to 100000 and for a
fortnightly service from $500, 900 to
SS00,O00. Members of the committee
feared that the subvention proposed by
the commission was insufficient to at
tract bidders for the contract.

THE LITTLE JOKER

Tariff revision is the little joker with
which congress and the president con-
time to perform their famous three
card monte act Now you see it and
now you don't see it. One day the
country is assured that the president
wants tariff revision, has imposed his
will upon congress, has informed the
house of representatives and persuaded
the senate to promise non interference.
The next day the country learns from
an equally authentic source that every
thing has been overturned, that more
than half the members of the house are
opposed to any revision at any time,
and that the plans of the administra-
ton and the hopes of the people are
certain to be baked.
There is just one and only one un-
certainty about this. Not being in the
confidence of Republicans, we cannot
tell whether this daily scene shifting is
a pre-arranged affair for the confusion
Of the public mind, or whether it actu-
ally represents the conflict of opposing
forces that constantly RACES within the
Republican party. The minority in
that party, having some brains and
some honesty, is insistent upon tariff
revision. 1t knows that the people
want fhir reforu,> and Sooxa,. or lofa,,
will either have it or smash the party
that refuses it. 1t knows that it. is
good party policy as well as wise ma
tional economy to comply with its de-

A REASONABLE RATE

A telling question was put before the
house committee on interstate and for
eign commerce the other day when
Representative Stevens. of st. Paul,
asked what the interstate commission
would do in case rate was brought
before it provably and unreasonably
low. More than one such instance has
happened. Of two or more competing
companies, one may cut the rate be-
tween two points to less than operat-
ing expenses. What could be done un-
der the proposed Cooper Quarles bill
authorizing the commission to fix
rate in such case? The reply given
was that the commission had always
met such cases by reducing the higher
rate
This is the fact. 1t is a we'll known
part of the history of the interstate
commerce commission. 1t laid down
this principle Of action very early in it's
existence, and by so doing deprived it
self of judicial character, and did more
than any law could do to weaken the
force Of its decisions and contract the
circle of its influence. In a case heard
at Dubuque shortly after the commits
sion was created, it took the ground
that it could not consider the case of
rates unreasonably low. 1t held that it
was to inquire into and remedy only
rates unreasonably high. Limiting it,
self in this way to consideration of one
side of the question only, it became an
advocate and not Judge. Now an ad-
vocate may perform very useful func-
tions, but the power to determine
causes and assign and impose penal
ties cannot be intrusted to him.
There is such thing as an unreason-
ably low rate, just as well as an un-
reasonably high one. Unreasonably low
rates are in force in various parts of the
United States every day in the year.
OF several competing roads between
two points one finds itself with dwin-
ding business. It thereupon puts into
effect cut rate that is below the point
not only of reasonable profit, but fire.
quently of cost of operation. 1t gets
the business. What, now, are the other
roads to do?
Under the law they are not allowed
to make any arrangement or agree
ment to maintain rates with their
rival. If they meet the cut rate, they
lose money. If they do not meet it,
they lose business. If they were charg-
ing an exorbitantly high rate, they
could be brought before the commits
sion and an order secured to reduce it.
If they in their turn, suffering this
hardship, bring the case before the
commission it could. under its own
precedent. as stated and as established
by its own records, do nothing except
to reduce the acknowledged reasonable
higher rate to the level Of the acknowI-
edged unreasonable lower. How can
any enterprise continue to exist under
such impossible conditions?
The question throws most impor-
tant light on the proposition to invest
the interstate commission with the ar
bitrary power to make rates. This
must be judicial function. 1t is one
now which, if forbidden to railroad
managers themselves, is exercised only
by the courts. The courts know neither

A HARD JOB

How difficult it is to support or de-
fend the ideas espoused by the admin
istration is discovered in the uninte1li-
gible comment which the Pioneer Press
makes from time to time upon it's cen
tralizing schemes. Our contemporary
is not at heart in the least in favor of
pathies are on that side. 1t knows
them to be hurtful in practice and ut
terly subversive in theory of both the
form and fact of liberty. Nevertheless,
it is obliged in some way to hold up
it's end as a Republican newspaper. 1t
would be both more dignified and more
effective to keep silent than to come
forward with such foolish expression
of opinion as it utters on the necessary
implication of taxing powers in the
plan to place all corporations under
federal control
That the taxing power under these
circumstances would be absorbed and
exercised by the general government is
absolutely certain. That is the only
purpose for which the change in cues
ton would be made. 1t is the only eff
fective regulator. Whenever the gov
ernment actually wants to do anything,
such for instance as regulating the
manufacture and sale of artificial but
ter products, it claps on a tax. The
project to substitute gross earnings
tax payable into the national treasury
for all state taxation of every sort on
land, roadbed rolling stock and ter
minals is actually. included in one of
the bills before congress. Yet our con-
temporary says that all these bills
might be passed without changing the
situation in the slightest
This is sufficient evidence as to its
information or the intelligence with
which it discusses the subject. The
truth is that it is as firmly convinced
the situation. 1t knows that the cru
sade SO unwisely begun under the in
spiration of President Roosevelt can
not stop short at some given point, but
must continue until the logical end has
been reached. That end Is exactly
what We have pointed out; namely, the
appropriation by the federal govern
ment of all revenues now derived by
the states from the taxation of railroad
property in any form within their
boundaries. If a man believes in that,
let him say so boldly and take the con-
sequences. If he does not believe in it,
he should not say that he does and
then try to evade consequences by ex-
planning; away the evident fact.
