RAILROADS FRAMING BILL.
Legislation Providing for a Court of
Interssate Commerce Eavored

Legislation Providing for a Court of
Interstate Commerce Favored.
washington, Jan. Information
has come to the department of Justice
tnat the law officers of nearly all of
the Dig railroad systems, acting under
instructions from the executive Off
GERS, are preparing bills which they
think congress should pass in order
to satisfy the demand from the mid
Ole west for the regulation of rates
on interstate railways. The basis
upon which they are all working is
that If there must be legislation on
the subject, the creation of an inter
state commerce court will best serve
the interests in the railroad and the
shippers Therefore the railroad law
yers are putting on paper their
thoughts as to what the bill which
Senator Elkins is preparing should
provide.
It is the general understanding
among these railway men that the bill
not be destructive of the interest of
the railroad companies. The fact that
the railway lawyers are putting their
ideas upon paper does not mean that
thye are enamored of the western idea
that something must be DONE On the
contrary, it is a concession on their
part to what is conceived to be
popular demand from the section in
which the rate regulation agitation
had it's origin. The railroad officers
were hurried to the conclusion that
there should be some concession by
the reported declaration of Speaker
Cannon that if they would not have
an interstate commerce court they
should be compelled to accept some
thing more drastic. The impression
created by this report was that if the
railroad officials would not agree to a
court, he would favor placing more
authority in the hands of the inter-
state commerce law association.
The general counsel of one of the
eastern systems, who is aware of what
the railway interests are doing, is au-
thority for the statement that the CIV
ing of the interstate commerce com
mission more authority is the innate
objection which Anglo-Saxons have to
making one set of men judges in their
own causes. Their idea is that the
interstate commerce commission can
well devote itself to ferreting out vio-
lations of the law and bringing them
before the proposed court, but that 1t
would be monstrous for congress to
give the commission power to first ac-
cuse and to determine whether a rail-
road company was guilty of the Of
lenses charged That is why they are
to get the ideas before
Senator ElkinS.
