Mr. Editor:-Whilc fully aware OF
the imperfection that must attend upon
the administration OF our present Pro

for these reasons: that we shall be

form the drink habit in the case OF
those now happily free from it; and
that, in my humble Judgment. the
county, as a whole, is better off under
the present law; though the measure
Of benefit be less observable in our
border towns, like Elkton and Port

not aim to abolish DRINKING by

cooperation OF the authorities with the
citizens in the faithful effort to en-

RAILWAY RATE REVIEW
Attacked by handIer-Provision In
serted in Bill by Senate De-
cIared Too Broad.


Washington, May 2O-In a signed
statement given The Chicago Record
Herald tonight former Senator Will
liam E. Chandler, president of the
Spanish war claims commission, con-
dems the court review provisions in
serted by the senate in the Hepburn
railroad rate regulating bill.
Mr.. Chambers part in the negotia-
tons between the president and Sen
atOr Tillman to secure the passage of
strong bill brought him prominently
into the limelight in the debates in
the senate, and his views on the Sec
tions of the bill which he and Sen
atOr Tillman assert were the prin-
cipal features of the negotiations, are
interesting. He takes substantially
the position occupied by Mr.. Tillman
and Senator Bailey in regard TO the
court review amendment, declaring it
too broad. The statement follows:
"The railroad rate bill as it passed
the house had many merits and some
beneficial amendments were adopted
in the senate. AS a whole it is
great advance over the present laws,
which holds the commission as to
ratemaking far behind the position it
was supposed to occupy when the law
was passed in 1887, but which sup
posed position has been destroyed by
various decisions of the supreme
court.
Invites Interference.
"The power which is now to be
given to the commission to hear COM
plants of exorbitant rates and to apply
remedies is a great assertion of pop
ular and legislative power which will
never again be destroyed. The fun
damental mistake of the bill as it
stands is that it invites judicial in
reference with the administrative
work of making rates which is to be
performed in the first instance by the
commission.
'The railroads need no protection
against the commission except what
their situation gives them. They can
refuse to obey any order of the COM
mission fixing rates, and thereupon the
commission is helpless until 1t goes
into court in one or all of three ways:
% For mandamus orders against the
carrier; (2) for penalties; 60 for
damages to the shippers. Whenever
these proceedings are undertaken
any constitutional rights Of the rail
roads can be asserted, and that class
of rights can not be taken away by
legislation. Every other right of in
reference with the commission can
be and should be taken away by
Legislation. Therefore while the bill
in any shape in which it is likely to
pass will be a great advance upon
present conditions, it will not be what
the true interests of the people re.
| quire.
| Would Strike Out Clauses
"All invitations to the court to in
terfere with the rates made by the
commission which have been put on
in the senate should be stricken out
in conference, and even the implied
recognition Of the right of review in
the bill as it passed the house should
be stricken out. If these things are

"All invitations to the court to in
terfere with the rates made by the
commission which have been put on
in the senate should be stricken out
in conference, and even the implied
recognition Of the right of review in
the bill as it passed the house should
be stricken out If these things are
not done by this congress they will
be done by some future congress which
the people will choose for that pur-
pose.
Meantime we must be thankful
that in the first great battle between
the people and the railroads the peo-
pie have won something and the rail
roads have not won everything The
exceptions to the free pass prohi-
bition make it almost worse than the
present law.
