The salaries of the members of the
interstate commerce commission VIII
be increased to $4,000. Not more than
four members shall be appointed from
the same political party.
The court of transportation shall con-
sist OF five judges designated for the
purpose by the president. The selec-
tons are to be made from the United
States circuit court No two of the
judges shall be from the same judicial
district. The appointments shall be FOR
one, two, three, four and i've years re-
spectively from April 1, 1905. The court
shall hold four regular sessions in
Washington each year, but special ses-
sions may be held at other places at
any time. The court shall have excla-
sive original jurisdiction in all cases
brought under the provisions of this
bill and also under the interstate COM
merce act. It shall have all the powers
Of the United States circuit court so
far as they may be applicable. Appeal
may be taken to the United states SUI
preme court under certain conditions
The important difference between the
Esch-Townsend and the Hepburn bills
is that the latter measure made pro-
vision for railroads to file indemnifying
bonds so that shippers could recover If
the companies continued to charge the
old rate pending a decision by the
court of review and that decision sus-
tanned the ruling made by the inter-
state commerce commission. If the
court of transportation has power TO
suspend the application of the commits
sion's decision until the case is review
ed, the railroads appear to be as we'll
protected under the new bill as under
the other.

THE RATE BILL AS PASSED.

The railroad rate bill passed by the
house yesterday is really a combination
OF four which have been introduced.
Several weeks ago Representative Esch
introduced a bill which was a modif-
cation of the Quarles-Cooper measure
of the last session Representative
Townsend then prepared one providing
for a court of transportation to review
decisions made by the interstate COM
merce commission. This was succeeded
by a bill drawn by Representative Hep
burn, which followed closely along the
lines proposed by Secretary Morton. who
IS the only experienced railroad man
connected with the administration. It
soon became apparent that another bill
must be drawn. The Esch-Townsend
measure is the result. This bill extends
the authority of the interstate COM
merce commission to fix rates, increases
the size of the commission from five to
seven members. and provides for a
court of transportation.
The first two sections. which enlarge
the powers OF the commission. give

shall of its own force become operative
within so days after notice has been
given to the persons directly affected
thereby. but at any time within go days
proceedings may be instituted in the
court of transportation BY the persons
affected for a review Of the decision

Standpatters are all alike, says the
St Paul Dispatch. when you get a
good thing keep it, keep it, they sing
in chorus. Talk to one of them about
revising and reducing the tariff and he
begins at once to dilate upon the in
tricacy Of the matter, the vast network
of interlaced interests, the extraordi-
nary knowledge and skill essential of
men who make changes, possessed by
very few. and then the ENHANCEMENT of
business that would result. Talk to one
of them about railway rates and gov
ernmental supervision of them and you
get at once the same kind of talk; the
immensely of the job; the intricacy Of
rates; the difficulty of arranging them
even by expert ratemakers; the awful
mess government rate reviewers would
make of business.
