Niagara Already Ruined?

Niagara Falls are already ruined"
says the eminent hydraulic engineer.
Alton ID. Adams, in Technical World
magazine for April. ALREADY enough
water rights have been granted by
New York state and Canada to divert
all the water which now, falling over
both the American and the Canadian
falls. makes the great cataract one of
the natural wonders of the world. If
the capitalists and promoters who now
hold franchises were all TO establish
plants, the entire flow of Niagara river
would be diverted into underground
channels; and the mighty cliffs over
which the torrent now pOurs in resist
less grandeur would be left rugged and
bald and dry"
Mr.. Adams sees small hope in the
proposed treaty between the United
States and Great Britain. He does
not believe that Canada will be a will
ing party to any treaty which will cut
off the great income it enjoys from
leasing Niagara power. His plan is to
excavate and deepen the channel lead
ing to the American fall. which will
otherwise run dry long before the Ca
madam or Horseshoe falls will be at all
affected

MAKING HORSES INVISIBLE
Methods for Warfare Being Considered
by German Commission.

a special military commission has
been sitting in Berlin considering the
best means of making cavalry as invis-
London Express.
HarmOniZing the mems uniforms
with natural conditions as much as
possible is not enough, and the COM
mission has been discussing the advis-
ability of dyein= the horses or screen
ing them with lig'.' canvas trappings.
At the British war office the other
day it was said that several expert
ments had been made in this direction
during the war in South Africa.
One official said: Many horses We're
dyed, but it was found that the. dye
soon washed off all except gray horses.
Several vegetable dyes and Il diluted
fluid were used, but the experiments
proved of little value. Canvas trap
pings made the horses perspire and
impeded their movements, and besides.
when the sun is behind the cavalry the
horses legs can. be seen through the
canvas.
1.-The best screen for cavalry used in
South Africa was combination of
various heatherlike shrubs picked up
on the yeldt. These plants We're in
many cases strung upward and down
ward from the trappings and gave the
appearance, when cavalry were moving
slowly across the sky line, of waving

The steps will be slow. One form of
life will be produced after another. and
eventually the professor expects some

Effective Rate Legislation.

The reports of a split between the
administration and Senator Knox on
the details of the rate regulation bill
are probably exaggerated. That there
is a difference of opinion between
them on some of the details is pretty
well established. But we venture to
assert that both sides are too reason
able TO suppose that divergences on
details necessitate the friction that is
alleged.
This e the more evident for the
reason that while Senator Knox's bill
contains many provisions calculated
to lend efficacy TO the regulation it is
on the main issue open to debate. That
is the necessity for specific provision
as to appeal to the courts. While the
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1906-03-06

facts as to power of review by the
United States courts are somewhat
clouded by assertions pro and con they
are practically as follows: The courts
have the power of saying whether con
stitutional rights are infringed by the
law or the practices under it. This in
cludes the power already exercised by
the United States courts against state
regulation of rates-namely: declaring
invalid rates which the courts hold 10
be confiscatory of railroad property
But high legal authority. including Sen
ator Knox, holds that the limited jur-
isdiction of the United States judiciary
will not enable il to reverse or affirm
the decisions of the commission as to
the reasonableness or unreasonable
ness of rates.
Is it necessary that it should? The
commission. organized in accordance
with the intent of the law, possesses
the special machinery to investigate
and determine the reasonableness and
Justice of rates. Considering that this
is Il question of fact and not of law il
is no disrespect to say that the COM
mission will be better equiPped TO pass
OH that issue than the courts can be.
Further. since the United States courts
III the exercise of the right TO invali-
date rates deemed confiscatory have
ruled ont those made by state power.
though no lower than those made by
railroads to favored shippers, there
does not seem 10 be any necessity for q
specific extension of their power of re-
vision
Senator KnOX'S provision OH this pre-
else Soint is open to doubt; and the
general issue is that presented by the
complaint of the independent oil rein
eTs. The ability of the great corpora
lions to tire out and practically defeat
complainants by a succession of APP
peals for decade after decade reduces
all legislation to useleSSneSS unless
care is taken TO make the procedure as
simple and prompt as possible. In con-
nection with that letter an example of
ject is the proposal of Senator Kean.
the recognized Legislative agent of the
Pennsylvania railroad. TO send the re-
finerS the recent decision of the United
States supreme court against railroads
dealing in the freight shipped over
their lines. That decision condemns a
notorious abuse. But it does not touch
the point brought out in the refiners'
letter of the interminable delay of pro-
ceedings in the courts, nor will it re-
turn to them a cent of the discrimin-
atory charges which have been levied
on them for Is years.
II Inolc like riohf rnIioU ~ tsix-a
courts the exact power of review that
the constitution gives them. No law
can be so skillfully drawn as to give
them any less, and to give them more
would be to Increase the delays thst
now render justice practically unat-
tainable to disfavored shippers.

A PULLED"

The Silver State last evening contained
an editorial on the county printing and
it got badly "balled up" What we
said, or intended to say, was that the
advertising for the county last month,
consisted of the publication OF
fifteen squares of bills allowed,
SIS, and for publishing a th~ree-square
notice to holders of court house bonds
four times, SIS. The bills allowed pub
lished contained 100 lines, which by the
rule the Silver State follows is 10 squares.
Had the Silver State done the advertis-
ing it's bill would have been $40, less %
per cent discount, making $50; and
for the notice to holders of court house
bonds it would have been $40, less 25
per cent discount, making $15, or a total
of $22.50 The taxpayers paid for doing
the same work $50 as against 1925 if
the Silver State had done the work.
1t is a small matter to be sure, but the
principle involved is the same. No one
objects to the commissioners treating a
party paper as literally as they like, but
they would feel a little better if they did it
from their own pockets. When the Sill
yer State was a Democratic paper it cost
the county from 81 800 to $1,000 per
year for doing the county printing, but
since it has been running as a Republican
paper we doubt if its bills will amount
to more than $500 or $500 per year. 1t
was less than $500 last year.

THE RAILROAD RATE BILL

The railroad rate bill which passed the
House by an almost unanimous
vote is now in the Senate, which
has been considering the entire subject
for a year and is as well prepared to vote
on it as it ever will be. There will,
however, presumably, he a long discus
sion, and very likely amendments, but a
rate bill is morally sure to become a law
which will contain the essential features
demanded by the p~ublic-that orders of
the Commission shall take effect within
thirty days, unless prevehsd by the
courts or modified by the Commission
itself, and thereafter continue in effect
for some.definite time. Private ears and
car lines will also be placed definitely
within the jurisdiction OF the. Commits
sion, which will also have access to all
the books OF the carriers, and power to
investigate and prevent secret favors to
shippers by juggling with terminal lines,
w~arehousing privileges, midnight rates"
or any other device which Satan may
inspire men to invent. 1t is very certain
that such a bill will become a law al
though the Senate and House will pre-
sumably have differences to be settled in
conference. The express companies are
going to get away-this time.
If, as the debate in the House seems
to show, there is doubt as to whether a
rate, once fixed, can be changed by any
authority during its legal term, after it
once goes into effect, that doubt should
be removed. Ii such a rate should prove
satisfactory, Congress could not prevent
the intervention of the courts.
But even II not con6scatory, circum-
stances change, and rates must some
times change with them. The effect OF
a particular rate cannot always be fore
seen by the most astute ratemaker. 1t
will be sufficient to prevent the railroads
from making any change, without per-
mission, during the term prescribed by
law. But, in any case, If the language
OF the bill is not clear it should be made
30. Every doubt as to its meaning will
have to be resolved by the Supreme
Court, which will take time and money.
