BAnErs CONSTITUTIONAL POINT


The view which Senator Bailey of
Texas has urged since the opening of
the rate bill debate and which he has
again set forth with great force, that
congress has complete power over the
Jurisdiction and procedure of inferior
federal courts, has been gaining ac-
ceptance in the senate and in public
opinion. 1t is conceded that congress
cannot alter the jurisdiction of the su-
preme court, which is conferred direct
by the constitution ITSELF but il also
provides that congress shall have
power 10 constitute tribunals inferior to
the supreme court" This grant is in
cluded in the enumeration of the powers
of congress. In the article dealing with
the judiciary 1t is provided that 1.-THE
judicial power of the United States
shall be vested in one supreme court,
and i'm such inferior courts as the con
gress may from time to time ordain and
| establish"
The practical point is that Senator
| Bailey's Interpretation opens wide the
door for congress to destroy absolutely
the injunction power Of the district and
circuit courts, so far as suspending the
rates fixed by the Interstate Commerce
commission pending judicial review
thereof is concerned. This would solve
one OF the most formidable problems in
the effort for more efficient railroad con.
troll, which is TO prevent the internllna,
BILE and expensive delays inseparable
from judicial dealing with this subject
The position held by many other able
lawyers is the exact reverse, denying
outright to congress authority to annul
the injunction power OF inferior courts
any more than Of the supreme court
in which .'the judicial power of the
United states" is vested by article nj

OMAHA THEN AND NOW.
Far Fetched SObS for the Days when
shirts Were scarce.


In petition for divorce filed in Omaha
Mrs. Amelia Rainey charges that her hus-
band, Alvirs s. Rainey, possesses and hab-
itually wears 100 shirts OF various colors
and materials.
Nothing has happened in Omaha since the
close OF the Trans Mississippi exposition,
which goes farther than this toward prov
ing that in many respects that city is far
in the lead of its pretentious rivals along
the water front of the Big Muddy, for who
ever heard of a man in Sioux City. St Jo-
seph or Kansas City accommodating as many
shirts as did Mr.. Rainey.
Time was I'm Omaha, and that not so very
long ago when it was thought a great thing
II one had a change of shirts for Sundays
and holidays. This was when the mighty
west was in the building and when hick-
DRY was the material in vogue. Little by
little. however. as the country opened up
the leading citizen would here and there,
and now and then, don checked or striped
calico TO feel the pulse OF the community
and as culture advanced and an artistic
taste grew among the leisure classes, the
white shirt with the boiled" bosom be-
gan to appear,
AT first, and until strangers, attracted
thithcr by tho Union Pacific and George
Francis Train, introduced new and uplift,
ing thoughts II was customary for the
founders Of the best families in Omaha Il
go without shirt collars, and, when season
able, in shirt sleeves. Forty years ago, OF
Whereabouts, IL was a beautiful sight {,

Everything has changed since then eX
cept the hot winds and the dust from the

same. But since the citizens OF Omaha
have now formed the habit Of acquirinl

THE WAY TO FORCE ACTION.
Election of senators by a Vote of the
People.
Minneapolis Journal.

Minneapolis journal.
The following states Of the union have
presented resolutions or memorials to con-
gress, through their legislatures, asking
for an amendment to the constitution by
which senators will be made elective by
popular vote:
California Idaho. Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas. Kentucky, louisiana, Minnesota,
New York, Ohio. Oregon, Washington,
Wisconsin, Wyoming. Montana, Utah,
Florida, North Carolina, North Dakota,
Nevada, Pennsylvania. Tennessee South
Dakota, Colorado, Michigan, Nebraska and
Missouri.
Twenty-eight out Of forty-hve states, or
very near two-thirds OF the whole number,
have thus gone on record, some OF them
two or three times. Congress has turned
a deaf ear to all the petitions and memoir
ials and as long as the senate is ruled by
hide-bound conservatism. It will never vol
unfairly submit such an amendment.
There is way to compel action and it
is about time for forward movement all
along the line. II the legislatures Of two
thirds of the states request IT, congress is
compelled to call a constitutional conven-
ton for the purpose OF submitting amend
ments. A number of the states in the list
given, including Mennesota, have put their
resolutions in that form, but others have
been content with the plain memorial II
thirty Of the states take extreme action the
question will no longer lie in the discretion
OF congress It will go instead to a consti-
tutiOnal convention, which may propose
still other amendments. but will certainly
submit one for popular election of senator's
The amendment will then become operative
when ratified by the legislatures Of three
fourths Of the states-thirty-four out OF the
present forty-five.
State Legislatures have been SLOW to act
and naturally. The amendment strikes at
one OF the great perogatives Of the leglsla-
ture and but for the pressure of public
sentiment. few legislatures would take ac-
ton at all. There is no question about the
desire OF the people for such an amend
ment. In order to get what they want
however, 1t is sometimes necessary for the
people to show their representatives that
they mean business.

MAXIM GORKP.

The arrival of Maxim Gorky, the
list, in this country has excited some
newspaper discussion as to whether as
an alleged anarchist he should be ex.
cluded from our ports under statute
enacted a few years ago. and is even
said to be vexing some official minds
at Washington. Yet, however forceful
and extreme his protests against a gov
eminent tyrannical and corrupt to the
core may have been, it does not appear
in the slightest that he would be a dis
turbing or dangerous factor here, or
or indeed that he would not prove an
interesting and helpful character under
the social conditions he will find here
which embody in large part the liberal
aims for which he has been prosecuted
in his own country.
If we can tolerate the reckless and
vicious use of the "muck rake" the
indiscriminate calumniation of, our
own government and public charac.
ters--and no one calls in question the
legal right of practically limitless agita,
ton of this sert-it is hard to see what
| justification can be found for arbitra.
| tory exclusion of the self-sacrifcine
Russian lltterateur who is conceded tc
be a man of unblemished integrity, who
certainly has neither committed mol
conceived any crime against our laws
whose only crime in his home country
is that he has Indignantly protested be
cause the ruling tyrants would not YIELD
a small fraction OF the liberty which
it is the main object of our institution,
to establish.
1t is well enough and even necessary
to bar out foreign criminals and motto
riously dangerous men who would com,
hither only to make liberty a means O.
offense. But the laws for this purpos,
were never intended to thrust back
high-mlnded author and intrepid as
serter of human rights like Maxim
Gorky, and they cannot be rightly useo
for an end so repugnant to the geniu
and traditions of our people.

of the constitution: the power granted
to congress in article Ito constitute
inferior tribunals" having no reference
TO the former. and being the grant I'M
der which congress has constituted a
variety Of tribunals. like tribunals for
adjusting claims, from which the power
Of injunction and other Ike powers
could be withheld. Such tribunals"
according to this view. are not courts
in the constitutional sense. which vests
In a court, when congress ordains it, all
the common law and historic powers,
including that Of injunction. as they
were understood when the constitution
was adopted.
Such construction, although it has
been quite commonly entertained or as
sumed, would obviously put straight
jacket upon congress so far as concerns
putting into effect COMMISSIONER
rates until the courts on appeal should
finally have passed upon them. And
with it's companion theory that every
punt III Idlt pIptteullSN btlOIt iht
Interstate Commerce commission must
be appealable and retriable in the
courts. the unacceptable result would be
to throw the whole subject OF rate regu
lation and railroad control in general
over into the exclusive disposal OF
! the courts, i'm fact transforming com
mission proceedings into an additional
source of delay, confusion, cost and sg
! gravation.

construction is so radical and sweeping
that it must finally go to the supreme
court for settlement, Senator Bailey has
done valuable service I'm enforcing upor

1ockfrrNa COAL c0NrEsrAN1s


The reply Of the anthracite operators
to the revised proposal of the union
miners narrows and defines the issues
between them So far as wages are
concerned both sides profess readiness
to arbitrate, but the miners want a new
board Of arbitration. while the operators
insist that the same board which ex-
haustively studied the subject three
years ago shall have the decision of the
wage scale now. and that when sOffixed
it shall stand for three years instead of
only one year. AS both parties agree TO
arbitral revision Of the wage scale. there
seems to be no substantial impediment
to a reference. assuming them to be
sincere, and It IL not easy TO see why
the term of effect as well as the scale
could not be included.
But the real point back of all in this
controversy is not a mere question of
wage-scale, but the desire Of the miners
on the one hand to reopen certain ques-
tons which the Roosevelt arbitrating
commission decided adversely to them.
and the resolute purpose OF the opera.
tors on the other hand to prevent any
such thing. The paramount object of
the miners is the unionizing of the mines
or closing them to all miners not mem.
bers of their organization, including the
subsidiary demand that the operators
shall collect union dues out of wages
on behalf of the union organization
The Roosevelt commission in it's award
emphatically rejected the principle OF
the "closed" mine, and if reconvened
would undoubtedly repeat that finding
AS a matter of controversial tactics
the operators seem distinctly to have
turned the flank Of the miners by the
counter proposal of arbitrating the wage
scale before the Roosevelt commission

MERGER or THE TREASURES.

The merger of the treasures of the
city of Omaha and the county of Doug
las, provided for in the charter enacted
by the last Legislature, is now an ac-
complished fact. From now on the
county treasurer, as ex-officio city
treasurer and ex-otficio school district
treasurer, will collect and disburse the
taxes and other revenues of the city
of Omaha and administer the city's
bonded and financial interests in addi-
ton to his administration of the county
finances
This is a great step in the direction
OF consolidation of city and county gov
emments, which The Bee has for years
advocated and which was finally
brought to head largely through its
efforts There n. no question but what
great deal of money and labor has
been wasted by the duplication of va
rious parts of our machinery of local
government. If it were possible to con-
sOlidate completely the management of
city and county affairs, it would be
wonderfully profitable to the taxpayers.
This has been done in many other cities
but in this state such complete con-
solidation would be impossible without
prior amendment of our state consti-
tuition.
Nothing prevents, however, the mer-
ger Of certain departments of local gov
eminent on the same lines as the pres
ent merger of the treasures, and on
this point the recent decision of the SUI
preme court is conclusive. There is no
good reason, for example, now that we
have abolished separate assessment of
property for municipal taxation and
Joined the functions of collecting and
disbursing the public money. why the
merger idea should not be propagated
still further by the creation of a single
auditing department for both city and
! county, and the merger of the prosecu-
| ton machinery of both the city and
county and possibly of the public works
business relating to the maintenance OF
streets and roads
The increased outlay for salaries arts
ing from the duplication of offices is
even less important than the confusion
and waste of time it entails upon those
who have business to transact with
both city and county and want to trans.
act 1t in the quickest and most effective
way. Unless we are greatly mistaken
the merger of the treasures will afford
such an example of convenience TO the
taxpayers that the pressure for further
consolidation will shortly become
steadily greater until it is irresistible.

imprisonment" for Corpora tIOns.
Snrinrhnld RnnmhlIcan

Why may not a corporation be imprisoned
to all intents and purposes as we'll as an
individual? is the question thrown out in
a Chicago communication to the Green
Bag, legal publication of Boston. In i'm
prisoning man, the state merely takes
away his liberty his earning power and
his material ambitions for the time of the
sentence. IT, then, an offending corpora
ton were closed up for a certain period Of
time, or its earnings were appropriated by
the state, it would in effect undergo a pun
ishment similar to that inflicted by i'm
prisonment of a person. 1t is a startling
suggestion, but not many "imprisonments"
of corporations would be required to make
law-breaking very infrequent, where now
It is impudently common.

NEW ERA OF FRANCHISES.
PubIfc Privileges No Longer Granted
for the Asking.

Philadelphia Ledger,
The spectacle of a mayor OF Philadelphia
returning TO the city councils without his
approval an ordinance authorizing the eX-
tension of an existing street railway line
because it contained no conditions or re-
strictions protecting the interests" OF the
city. and that OF telephone corporation
negotiating with the municipal authorities
OF New York as TO the terms upon which
franchise shall issue, are hopeful signs
of the times. These incidents are indica-
tive not only OF a more intelligent appre-
citation Of the value OF franchises, but of
an intention to surround them with such
conditions as shall check the power of the
corporations and insure to the public ade-
quate service and compensation. They are
the direct fruit of the great civic revival
which is passing over this country
The causes which have brought about
this remarkable change in the attitude of
the public toward the public service fran
chises are varied and complicated, an
awakened public conscience being but one
Of many. That the latter has had much
TO do with It IL not to be denied. but the
wealth Of the corporations holding fran

affairs OF state and municipal government,
and the corrupting methods which have too
often attended their operations, have been
equally potent i'm arousing the people OF
this country to the value OF the privileges
which I'm the past were either given away
or stolen by dishonest representatives
Thus the motives for the awakening have
been mixed ones. but the benefit TO the

safe to assume that the era OF unrestricted
franchises has nassed away in this coun-

A Doubtful statement.

San Francisco Chronicle.
A Washington dispatch states that the
president intends to score the writer's in
the magazines and other publications who
have been creating the impression that
there is political corruption in congress
and elsewhere in the national government
We doubt the statement. The president
is too we'll informed to hold publications
responsible for an impression which is
derived from direct observation. So long
as the corporations directly control the
election of congressman and senators, and
the latter control appointments, just that
long will the people think that things are
going wrong, and the sHencing of the
printing presses would not change the
opinion.
