the severance OF the ownership OF a
business from the power TO determine
the returns from 1t being impractical
BILE in point of fact, is to deemed also
impossible in point Of law.
'Ifit be urged that, as congress is
subject to the constitution Of the
United States, any national rate-mak-
ing for carriers cannot be confiscatory,
the answer is plain. Matchmaking for
railroads is q from-day-to day affair.
Their rates must vary with the vary
ing conditions of business, which con-
ditions are subject to rapid and wide
fluctuations and may make rates
which are reasonable to-day wholly
unreasonable tomorrow. Ii is entire
lY conceivable that rates reported by a
committee to one or both houses OF
congress, and reasonable when so re-
ported, may become unreasonable by
the time they are acted upon by one
or both houses, or II then reasonable,
may be found Unreasonable when a
bill prescribing such rates is present
ed TO the president for bis signature y
In summing up the opposition Of
conservative Democrats to the propos-
ed legislation, Mr.. Olney reaches the
following conclusions;
ours is a government, 10 both state
and nation, by political parties, and
to political rate making for railroads
ALTERNATING by pOlitions animated by
partisan motives and working for
partisan ends-the objections OF econ
omic and business character and OF
the score Of public policy generally,
are as obvious as they should prove
insnperable. The purpose Of the pres.
ent paper is to point out that beside
such objections, railroad ~rate-making
BY the national government presents
legal and constitutional difficulties Of
the most serious character. 1t raises
issues which concern the division of
power between the several states and
the United States, which have not
been fully and finally passed upon by
the national supreme court and which,
submitted to that tribunal half or
a quarter Of a century ago, would
In all human probability have been
determined adversely to the jurisdic-
ton OF the general government"

CHICAGO. Oct. 4.--"I wonld rather
be John d. Rockefeller to-day, dlyest-

The foregoing is a quotation from

Dr.. d. X. P~earsons, a Chicago million
aire, nationally known as a philan-
thropist.
"There is no wealth just now, in the
minds OF the Sociallstically inclined,
that is not tainted. This cry Of faint
money is no Jest. 1t is unfair and
not American. 1t has become the
rallying cry of the Socialist, the drone
and the disconnected member of So
ciety who hates those whose talents
or wealth exceed his own
Mr. Pearsons, talking In this strain
with vigor for some time, showed are
cent letter which he had received
from Nj. Rockefeller. Divested Of
personal items, 1t concluded:
THANK you for your kind words.
