Railroad Rate Legislation.

Testifying before the senate commit
tee at Washington, Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Prouty said in
discussing the proposition to give that
commission the power to regulate rail-
way rates.
II think the railways should make
their own rates. | think they should
be allowed to develop their own bust
ness. L have never advocated any law,
and l am not nov in favor of any law,
which would put the rate making
power into the hanus of any commits
necessary to do that some time, while
that is done in some states at the pres
ent time, while it is done in some
countries, | am opposed to it. y
The railway rate is property. 1t is all
the property that the railway has got.
The rest of its property is not good for
anything unless it can charge a rate.
Now it has always seemed to me that
when a rate was fixed, if that rate was
an unreasonable rate, it deprives the
railroad company of its property pro
tanto. 1t is not necessary that you
should confiscate the property of a rail-
road; 1t is not necessary that you
should cay that it shall not carr three
per cent or four per cent. When you
put in a rate that is inherently unrea-
sonable, you have deprived that com
pany of its rights, of its property, and
the circuit court of the United States
has jurisdiction under the Fourteenth
amendment to restrain that. \ y
| have looked at these cases a great
many times, and l can only come tc
the conclusion that a railroad com
pany is entitled to charge a fair and
reasonable rate, and if any order of a
commission, if any statute of a state
legislature takes away that rate, the
Fourteenth amendment protects the
railway company"

had forbidden the dispatch OF the
news of his death for two hours after
1t had actually taken place, In order
that the church might frs inform its
foreign ambassadors. However, the
news was sent to New York by the
Associated Press in just nine minutes
after the Pope had breathed his last.
1t had passed the censor in the form
Of an innocent private dispatch to
the effect that tine number of the
missing bond is 404." That had all
been arranged in advance and meant
that the pontiff had expired at four
