RAILWAY RATE BILLS
Analysis Of Principal Meas
ures Now in Congress.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
SOME BELIEVE PRESENT LAWS
ARE SUFFICIENT.
Revised Esch-Townsend Interstate
Commerce Measures and Outline
Of Senator Elkins' Bill.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

There is practical unaninnty among sena-
tors and representatives as to the desira-
bility Of legislation that will strengthen the
existing laws against rebates and discrimi-
nations of all kinds between shippers. and
especially as to the desirahility of such leg
islation as will enable rebates and dtscrimi-
nations obtained through the medium of
private freight cars, private terminal roads
and other devices and subterfuges to be
reached effectively. The one point involv
ed in the proposed railway legislation on
which there are serious differences of opin-
ion is as to the best method of providing
a means for effectively and promptly cor
recting a rate that may be exorbitant or
unreasonably high. There are some men
in both houses who believe that the present
laws sufficient for the correction Of
such rates, especially In view of the recent
action of two United States judges, in the
Georgia yellow pine lumber case and the
Proctor & Gamble soap case, in sumnnarily
enjoining railways from charging more imam
the interstate commerce commission had
found to be reasonable rates. The great
majority of senators and representatives,
however, believe that additional legislation,
In some form, Is needed to make the rene
dies for unjust and unreasonable rates more
effective, but there are wide differences OF
opinion as to what form such legislation
should take

The Unreasonably High and Unreason-
ably Low Rate,

Chairman Knapp of the interstate COM
MERGE commission has. said that between
the unreasonably high rate and the unrea-
sonably low conf1scatory rate there is
a considerable, and in many cases, a very
considerable margin which measures the
range of legislative discretion" In other
words, although the rate that had been
challenged might have been within this
margin and might have been perfectly just
and reasonable this fact could not be con-
sidered by the court. The rate prescribed
by the commission, on the other hand
might be unrea sonable and might work
injustice to carriers, to shippers or COM
munities but, unless 1t could be shown
that 1t would operate actually to confis-
cate the property of some one, ii could not
be set aside by the reviewing court. An
other point made against these bills Is that
they propose to limit the right to institute
proceedings for review to carriers and do
not provide for such proceedings being In
stituted by either shippers or communities
that might be disastrousy affected by
changes in rates that would change the rel
alive adjustment of rates affecting rival
communities. 1t is regarded as conceiy-
able, especially If either of these bills, pro-
viding for the fixing of minimum rates as
we'll as maximum, should become a law,
that carrier might not be Interested in
applying for a review of an order directing
it to raise rate or forbidding the reduc-
ton OF rate below certain figure,
and yet such an order might be destructive
Of an industry or of community.
One OF the objections urged against the
Elkins plan Is that it would involve double
proceedings, first In the. commission and
then in the court, and would prolong the
life of controversies. The same is true of
any proposition to have the commission
fix rate and then have judicial review,
though 1t is probable that there would be
fewer reviews under a law that would take
away from the court jurisdiction over the
original question than there would be under
one providing for q review of the real ques-
ton at issue, as is proposed by Senator
Elkins. 1T is for this reason that Senator
Dolliver, one of the most extreme advo-
Gates of commission rates. has de-
clared that he would prefer the Foraker
ball that would take the matter into the
courts In the beginning.
The Foraker Bill.
The Foraker bill is radically different
from the other propositions that have been
advanced in that 1t is presented to carry
out the recommendations of the President
In substa without adhering to the strict
letter OF his message. 1t is claimed by its
advocates that the results aimed at would
be accomplished by this bill more certainly
and more expeditiously than by any other
proposition that has been formulated Sem
ator Foraker would eliminate the inter-
state commerce commission entirely ex-
