while il is claimed the Hepburn bill
does not give the commission power TO
revise differentials or TO readjust the

this the bill. as well as all others, neces-

Fails to Empower Courts.

The Hepburn bill fails TO confer juris-
diction on any court to entertain pro-
ceedlngs by carrier to set aside a com
mission rate; IL merely refers - such
Jurisdiction as may already exist. But
the circuit court can exercise only such
jurisdiction as is granted II by Con-
gress. and under present Law there
would be no possible jurisdiction in any
controversy involving less than S2.Veo
Practically, the carriers only rShef IS
TO dtsobey the commission order; and
if. after doing this, the decision should
be against its view, the penalty OF 5000
d day would attach. Practically, appeal
is thus denied.
In order to insure q judicial reY.eW that
will adequately protect the property and
commercial interests involved and oper-
ate as a conservative influence upon the
commission, il Is important to define the
commissions jurisdiction and make IL
depend upon the facts. rather than the
opinion OF the commission. bt- NV
should prescribe that no chang snail
be made further than necessary &C pre-
vent rates being -unrsasonahlJ nigh
Thus 1t would become a. judicial question
for the court TO determine whether the
commission had exceeded Its jurisdiction,
and IL so it's order would be set aside.
There IS no other way Congress can as
sure an adequate review. II would. at
the same time. leave the commission
ample corrective discretion.

Defeats It's Own Purpose.

As to through routes and rates, the
Senator pointed out how important it is
that the commission be empowered 10
fix these: but he feared the bill defeat
ed it's own purpose In this regard. Could
the commission, he inquired. make an
interstate roaG part of an interstate
route. and compel il To do a certain

RESOLUTIONS OF TEACHERS.
Thanks Given for Reception of In.
stitute Week.

Resolved, That we, the teach
ers of Yakima and Benton coun-
ties, in appreciation of the eff
forts of the county superin-
tendents, Jacobson and Gilkey, and
the able corps of instructors, for the
success of this institute now closing,
offer our sincere thanks,
And further, We extend our graf
itude to the railroads for their re-
duction in rates, to the school board
for the use Of the school building
and their efforts in behalf of the In
stitute, to the various clubs and peo-
pie of North Yakima for their hos
pitality.
We heartily endorse the energetic
work being done by the present
county superintendent to raise the
standard of the teaching profession
and raising the salary in accordance
with the efficiency of the teacher.
And we hope their efforts will not
cease until the salary of teachers be
made commensurate with the quality
of work done and amount Of prepara-
ton necessary to fit themselves for
their profession, or at least, until
they be paid as much as hod-car-
riers, janitors and members Of other
professions who spend much less
effort time and money in preparing
for their work. and in addition, have
far less responsibility in the COM
munity.
We commend the efforts of Depu-
ty State Supt. Dewey and Professors
Yoder and Sampson to establish a
state school journal in keeping with
the best interests of the teaching
profession and schools of the state,
and urge that the teachers Of our
counties encourage this movement
by substantial support.
We favor the adoption by the
board of education, subject TO the ap-
prevail of the state board, of some
systematic course of physical Gull
ture suitable to the needs of the diff
ferent grades Of our schools, and
that this work be made part of the
required course of study:
We further recommend that
manual training for both girls and
boys be included in our course of
study.
