ACHEAP iNTERURBAN CAR.

An electrical machinery builder in
Philadelphia has completed the cree
ton of an independent electrical car
which, it is believed, will solve the
problem of a successful car for inter-
urban service, Independent of eXpen-
sive trolley wires and costly power
houses. So successful have been the
trial trips made with it that several
( fe Of the same type are in course of
construction, which il is understood are
to be used by the Missouri & Kansas
Interurban Railway Company in the
operation Of it's line running over the
Santa Fe trail from Kansas City, Mo-.
to Olathe and southwestern Kansas. 1t
IS a combination of a gasoline engine,
a dynamo and storage battery. The
engine furnishes the power to run the
DYNAMO and general electricity for the
motors that operate the car, and the
storage battery, on the one hand. re-
ceiyes the surplus power from the gem
orator when the load is light, and on
the other hand furnishes the excess
power required during acceleration and
ION steep grades. A gas engine, while
the highest and most efficient power
producer, is in it's direct application to
the operation of railway cars impracti-
cable. chiefly on account of the me-

age battery, satisfactory system for

Topics Of the Times

Mrs. Thomas, widow of the late
congressman from the Eleventh Iowa
district, recently received from a man
at Ashland, Ohio, letter which con-
tanned II cents in coin, neatly wrapped
in tissue paper and put in coin en-
velope. The letter of explanation
which accompanied this stated that
the enclosed II cents was sent to her,
because the writer. ten years ago, wheh
a tenant on her fathers farm, stole
husbe1 of wheat, and she being one OF
the five heirs was therefore entitled to
her share of the wheat money Each
one of the heirs received similar
amount. The man added that his con-
science had troubled him all this time
and that he took this means of squar-
ing himself However, conscience

The Rate Bill Agreement.
New York Tribunel


The unanimity with which the COM
promise between the broad review ana
narrow review factions in Che senate
has been accepted seems to prove that
differences of opinion in that body on
rate legislation We're more apparent
than real The Tribune has all along
maintained that the issue between the
two groups of senators had been be-
logged by overtechnical treatment.
and that the court review question
could be settled when each side knew
what the other actually wanted. The
understanding now reached shows that
the two factions We're never very far
apart, for each asserts that it is sat
isfied with the machinery provided for
testing in the courts the validity of
rates made by the interstate commerce
commission.
! The broad-revewers contend that
they have carried their point because
the federal circuit courts are empow-
cred to hear suits brought against the
commission. But if this is all they de-
sire to accomplish they have secured
a concession which the supporters of
the Hepburn bill never intended to
withhold. The trainers of that meas
ure and it's supporters in the senate
have always argued that it left the
courts open to any plaintiff who might
feel like contesting the decisions OF
the commission. The rates prescribed

pended or annulled by the courts. and

liant seeking redress or on the power

Limitations as to Venue and with GER

grounds on which q rate may be chal-

three standards of validity for meas
uring the commissions judgments The
amended senate bill prescribes only
two, and in this respect is an improve
lment But this change, as we'll as the
others agreed on, is plainly in the di-
Erection of narrower rather than broad
er review.
We cannot see, therefore, in what
essential respect the senate measure
departs from the underlying principles
of the Hepburn bill. The grounds on
which suits can be brought remain
practically unchanged. Under both
bills the courts themselves will have
to determine how far their right to
reverse the judgments of the commits
sion extends. They are as little likely
under one act as under the other to
constitute themselves administrative
bodies of superior class, with power
to do the interstate commerce COM
missions work over again whenever
the expediency or good judgment of
that work is called in question. On
the other hand, they are certain to
defend the constitutional rights of APP

The plea was made in the assembly
by the big railroads thru their lob
byists that the governor had recon-
mcudcd the principle. and that plea
caught quite n number of votes, enough
al least to pass the bill by narrow
margin after stiff fight against it. IL
WAS u narrow escape from disastrous
results. In the judgment of the writer,

governor was large enough to ignore
the plea, that he himself had set forth

mendation, and veto the bill.

i1,s RATE REGULATION ANYWAY.


The rate bill has passed the senate.
To this extent public opinion, with
Roosevelt riding at the lead. has tri-
umphed over the special interests. The
government has delegated distinct au-
shorty to a commission to name a rate
FOR railroads. express companies. or
pipe lines when one has been adjudged
unreasonable. The principle of gov
eminent regulation of rates has gained
decisive and important victory, and
the special interests an equally de-
cisiye and serious defeat. But in de-
tail the bill which passed the senate
lost an important element OF It's
strength In the court review amend
lnent and the elimination of the
words .in its Judgment" just as vic
torious armies often lose the flower OF
their forces IN the mortality of COM
bat.
The enemy, in this case the railroads
supported by Senator Platts express
companies and Rockefeller's Standard
. Oil having been defeated in Jast sum-
mer's effort to flank the forces OF pup
lie opinion and prevent any authority
TO regulate rates at all, have striNen all
winter merely to ride the new law
with a provision which would suspend
every decision of the commission untii
reviewed by the highest courts OF the
land, and thus postpone and minimize
commission rates by delay. The couh-
try has hoped that no court review
amendment of this kind would be
ADOPTED but the amendment passed pS
the senate giving United Circuit courts
jurisdiction TO hear appeals may or
may not accomplish the desired result
sof delay and the removal of the three
words ain its Judgment may or may
not accomplish the same. Time ana
litigation alone will tell.
The language Of the bill gave the
commission power ito determine and
prescribe what will, id its Judgment,
be the just, reasonable and fairly re-
munerative rates" There is fear that
power given the commission to pre-
scribe reasonable rates and power to
prescribe what lin its Judgment Will
be reasonable. are powers greatly
varying in degree. One set of lawyers
contend that the power to determine
and prescribe reasonable rates is Just
as great power as that to determine
what will, in its judgment. be reason
able, while another set admit that per-
ihaps this were so, but in order to make
doubly sure of the power they prefer to
have the three words remain and this
will be the universal desire Of the pub
lie. Likewise with the court review
amendment. If the country had to take
this rate bill or none. it would prefer this
one, but If it is still possible to get one
even stronger the country will back up
the house of representatives or the
president in forcing the special inter-
ests of the senate to concede more even
vet.

A MERIrrED VETO.
Mason City Times Herald


The Times-Herald is gratified to
know that Governor Cummins had the
backbone to veto what was known as
the .long and short haul BILL The
writer consistently opposed the meas
ure when it was before the last assem-
bly and voted against it, believing that
it was an entering wedge upon the part
of the railroads to break down the adj
mirabe railway avs of Iowa which
have operated with such uniform sue
cess the past sixteen years.
Cummns was in a delicate position
for he had recommended in his mes
sage that the law should be amended
so that the passenger fare by a long
line at competing points with short
lines could be made the same. But the
bill included freight tariffs as we'll and
opened up a big question in the matter
of making and unmaking towns and
communities.
AS a matter of fact had the bill be-
came a law, there would have been no
more short lines built in Iowa The
big trunk lines would have been al
lowed to make a competing rate, how
ever roundabout might have been their
route, and While for passenger traffic
that would not be much of hardship
