ers, oh Rate Bill.
Washington, April 4.--W. G. Smith,
of South Dakota, president of the Ma
tional Association of Railway Commits
%sioners, today addressed h associa-
ton, in session here.
A large part of Mr.. Smiths address
was devoted to discussing the railway
rate regulation. He declared n law
passed that does not contain absolute
rules for deciding what is q reasonable
and remunerative rate and does not
establish the constitutional right to APP
peal would fail in it's object for good.
"On the other hand" he said, tariff
charges are bound to be adjusted, not
only relatively, Out actually by the
constant pressure of commercial and
economic principles. Let public SEN
timent support President Roosevelt, a
man who calls for a square deal, SO
that every offender against the real
import of the interstate commerce law
| shall be exposed and punished and sub
ject to public condemnation. No mat
ter whom it hits, let him be pilloried
as the enemy OF public welfare, as the
agent for tearing down this vast COM
mercial republic. Let us insist upon
fair dealings to all, to shipper and car
rier alike"
Smith said the growth and develops
ment of the railroads in the last halt
century had been so rapid that regula-
LION Will lllCuBiltlui COlSlocIdllOl ny
the people and government has in a
measure, been neglected. He commended
that any method of uniform regulation
during this progressive development
period might have avoided or pre-
vented many of the existing evils, but
at the same time 1t would have as
suredly retarded development Of our
country's resources.
He expressed the opinion that con-
gress has done it's duty so far as
passing and planning for enforcement
of laws to prevent rebates, unlawful
determinations, secret rate cutting and
many other methods of preference. He
discussed the effect of no~n-enforce-
ment of laws on the subject and de-
clared there had been too much of an
effort to try to max the rates under
the implied provisions of the law in
stead of trying to stop rebates.
Discussing the fatalities attending
railroad travel, Mr.. Smith said:
I'VE should ask congress to enact
laws which would more carefully guard
against the rail spreading, provide for
guarding crossings more effectually and
for more faithful compliance with the
automatic coupling act. More string.
ent enforcement as to train orders
should be demanded.
IF there are any etfectual methods
or means to prevent collisions, even
though they be expensive, their adop-
ton ought to be enforced by congress
sional act, and railways required to put
them in force within a reasonable
time"

INSURANCE SETTLEMENTS.

The San Francisco Examiner of the
19th has the following:
A number of insurance companies
are now settling with policy holders
from their Oakland headquarters, and
the Fireman's Fund Insurance Com
pany is doing the same thing in this
city.
Those companies that have settled
50 far have done so mainly where
they alone carried the insurance or
where there was no doubt but that
they were liable. In some instances,
however, companies have paid because
the policy holders were IL need of the
money.
The Liverpool and London and Globe
Insurance Company settled Tuesday
eighty-seven claims. At the close of
Thursday the company had adjusted
one hundred and twenty cases. Their
offices are in the Tribune building, Oak
land. Charles D. Haven of the Liver
pool and London and Globe said:
we have so far paid out about ST.
coo ,0GO. We are only paying off small
claims. Our next business will be to
settle big losses. There is no reason
Why we should not pay off our policy
holders when there is no question about
our liability"
The Home Insurance Company also
with offices in Oakland. has paid out
so far about s50,G0O to small policy
holders w. \. Bament of the com
pany said:
1--WE have settled about one hundred
claims We have paid out money to
people who had their furniture burned
and who wanted the money to refurnish
their homes
The Firemen's Fund Insurance Com
pany has paid out so far about $780,
900. Its Offices are in San Francisco.
George II Menden, Jr., assistant sec
rotary, said:
I'VE have settled about fifty claims
so far We will have twice that num-
Der all arranged within a day or so.
We want to pay off the people as fast
as we can. You must understand that
IT is much easier to pay out money ana
settle small claims than large ones |
where several companies are inter
aSted."
