AND FREIGHT RATES

Among the n1gnly important
which will be considered
by the Congress converting yester-
day is that of freight rates, for
President Roosevelt is going to
press to a finish his pet scheme to
put the rate making power in the
hands of some commission. 1t is
long step towards paternalism;
to Government control not only of
the railroads and their revenues
but to other branches of industry
and labor as well. 1t lis indeed an
unwise, not to say dangerous step,
and the hope is general that Con
gress will take such view of the
situation ere the harmIi done.
In an able article discussing the
proposed Government regulation
of freight rates the Macon Tele-
graph has this:
This movement is very like Mr..
Roosevelt. 1t is Hamiltonianism
run to extremes, and that's the
President. We are not surprised at
his course, but we are surprised
that so many Southern Democrats
should have swung so far around
the circle as to meet him on that
common ground. These Demo
Gratis have not only departed from
the landmarks of Democracy, but
they have gone clean away and
out of sight of the old headlands.
1t is a singular thing. 1t is beyond
any good reason so far given by
any of them.
AS to this feature of the case,
the"departure from the landmarks
of Democracy is likewise regret
able. Mr.. Roosevelt has the back
ing of some of the ablest Democ.
rats in Congress in this pet meas
ure, though "they have gone out
of sight of the old Democratic
headIands' therein.
That the desire of achievement,
to great extent, impels the Presi-
dent in this course is quite evident
"Shift it and sift it as much as
one may" adds the Telegraph "and
the one bald fact becomes more
apparent, to wit: Behind this
movement is the lust of power. All
tyrants make plausible the neces-
sity for their acts of tyranny. AL
usurpations of power are done in
the name of freedom. Every turn
of the thumbscrew by those who
occupy the seats of the mighty
bind the tighter for the sake OF
alleged liberty"
After the adoption of this meas
ure, why should not Congress fix
the price of corn, the price of cot
ton, the price of shoes, clothing
and all other necessities, and also
fix the daily wage of the millions
of American toilers. The principle
is identically the same. If it is I'M
just to the farmers andImanufac
turers to do this, it is equally I'M
just to take from the railroads Of
the country the power to put g
price upon their labor.
Americans have stood for free
America with the largest liberty
consistent with orderly society
But we are drifting rapidly to the
spirit of monarchy, if not to monar-
chical forms.
