Railroad Legislation and
Government Rate|Makins.

The opposition 70 the railroad rate
regulation measure known as the Till
msn-Hepburn bin. wherein the rail
road allies in congress contend that
the government has no right to as
sumo rate-making powers, is simply
another illustration Of the long and
losing fight which public service cor
porations have made against public
knowledge and supervision Of their
operations.
The bill viii nevertheless be
passed and the railroads viii ulti-
mstely be compelled to comply with
the altogether proper demand for
public regulation Of their business, so
Tar at least as it affects the service
which the public IS entitled to receive.
The day has long since gone by
when public utilities can longer be
regarded in the light Of strictly pri-
vate enterprise. They may be owned
and operated by private capital. but
they must be conducted under public
supervision and must conform to pub
tic convenience and requirements. II
this is objected to, there is but one
1lternative-publico wnership-and the
opposition Of the railroads to the
present trend OF public sentiment for
public control Of these corporations is
only Fastening the time when public
ownership viii come.
The Journal has previously pre-
dicted that the next paramount
issue in national politics viii
not be the tariff question or the
money question or the question OF i'm
periahsm, or expansion, but it viii be
the railroad questionable public ser
vice QuestiOn-and that prediction is
fast being fulfilled by events.
When the present congressional tur-
MOL over the Tillman-Hepburn bill
subsidies the subject viii have simply
been formally introduced into national
politics. The real fight is to come in
the future.

The Subject of
Street Car Tenders Again,

The deplorable accident of a week
ago again brings up the subject of
eQuipping the street cars in Pensa.
cola with adequate tenders.
The Journal is not an expert on the
fender question and does not pretend
TO say that the recent accident would
not have resulted fatally even with
the most improved form of street car
fender, but We do. contend that the
present style of fender used is not
adequate for the protection of human
life and limb and the street car com.
pany has never been able to show.
either in theory or actual working re-
suits, that it is.
A short time ago the street car CON-
pany paid 100000 in settlement of
a damage suit, for the death Of a pas
senger who fell of and was crushed
beneath the wheels. We do not know
that a fender. would have saved the
life of the victim in this case, but we
do know that Immediately following
the accident precautions We're taken
to prevent another accident of a SINH.
lar nature.
If the company had provided ade-
quate safety appliances in this case.
the chances are that the accident would
not have occurred, the passenger
would not have lost his life, and the
company would have been $5,OOO.OO
ahead.
It would seem therefore that even
If its sense of duty to the public did
not impel it to provide adequate safe
ty appliances for its cars, financial
considerations alone ought to do so.
In any event the subject is one
which the city council may well take
up. and the fender question cannot be
settled too soon. Human life is not so
cheap that either the public or pub
lie service corporations can afford to
ignore a question OF this kind.

At the last meeting of the Portland

structed to vote for Honolulu to be the
next place of meeting. While it will be
a very difficult matter to persuade our
association to go over there, yet, the
advertising it will receive on account of

companies furnish advertising trans

not do. The advertising transportation
secures representation from all sec

trades and occupations an opportunity

interest in which a newspaper is pub
