THE RAILROAD RATE BILL


The passage of the Hepburn Rail
road Rate bill by the National House
OF Representatives. with but seven
votes against it. was a victory Tor
President Roosevelt and popular
clamor. more overwhelming III all
probability than was expected. but
it is by no meansc certain yet that the
measure, as it stands, will become
law. On the contrary it is more than
probable that the Senate will dos
pruning to the measure before 1t Is
allowed to pass that body. The
measure as ii has passed the house
is immensely popular with the PEG
pie. and no doubt all the power OF
the peoples will, will be brought to
bear upon the Senate toenact it into
law. but the Senate isnot and should
not be as responsive TO the popular
will as the lower house OF Congress.
The fact that any measure Is I'M
mensely popular with the people Is
no guarantee that it is good for the
people. The House OF Representa-
tives is expected to give heed to pop
ular clamor. and the Senate is. or
was, expected to check the people
when their ideas become dangerous.
For this reason our iorefathers
made United States Senator's cleo
tive by the Legislatures OF the varl-
Gus States, and not by the people.
Some of our modern wise men have
undertaken TO break down this safe
guard for the protection OF the PEG
pie against themselves, and in the
absence of an amendment to the Con
stitution have in some States estab-
Ished primary elections as themeans
of selecting Senator'S. This has not
prevailed to a sufficient extent, how
ever.to affect the conservatism OF the
Senate, and for that reason we can
rest assured that the Hepburn bill
will receive the conservative cOnsld-
Grafton it should receive before it be-
comes law. 1t may be ever so good
a measure. and its operation may
work the cure the people are seeking
from railroad abuses, indeed we be-
lieve its effect will be benefcent, but
nevertheless we are glad that before
the measures in enacted into law 1t
must pass the scrutinizing eye OF the
representatives of the States OF the
union.

THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION

Any general scheme OF immigration

Nh 10 Mr.. Koiner and his department to

and to restrain the bad and they may

HUGE INSTITUTION WANTED BY
NEW YORK FINANcIERs.
TO REGULATE MONEY MARKET.
The Idea Is to Prevent Recurrence of
the Financial Stringency, Giving
This Bank Power to Issue in Times
of Emergency.

New York, April 16-It was learned
that a plan is under discussion among
certain bankers in this city to estab-
| lish bank with a capital of $5O,O0O.-
| 900 for the purpose of regulating
money rates and preventing periods
of money stringency and accompany
| ing high rates of interest. The move
ment was given some impetus by the
recent stringency in the money mar
ket. The name of the National City
Bank was mentioned in connection
with the plan and one suggestion was
made that the stock of that bank be
increased by 100000 or 100000
in order to give it a control of the H.
nancial situation in this city sufficient
to prevent the recurrence of periods
of extreme high rates for money. An
other suggestion was that trust com
pany be organized under the direction
of the Natiopal City Bank, Oficials
of the bank declared, however, that
they were not taking more than
passing interest in the various plans.
Some of the concerns which have
taken an interest in the movement as
sert that such an institution might
exercise considerable control over the
foreign exchange situation to the eX'
tent of regulating imports and ex-
ports of gold somewhat as does the
Bank of England A leading bank Off
cial, however, said that the only cure
for such money evils as the New York
market has recently witnessed lay in
the establishment of the central bank
which shall be given the power of is
sue in times of emergency
1t was ascertained that a series of
questions bearing upon this subject
has been forwarded by the special
currency committee of the New York
state chamber of commerce to the
clearing house committees of the lead
ing cities of the United States. The
bankers are asked to notify the New
York committee whether they believe
a central note-issuing bank similar to
those in France, Germany Austria
Hungary and other countries in
Europe with branches in leading cities
and with the power to re-discount for
national banks and state banking in
situations, but not for individuals,
