A Fatal objection.
null it.

On the other hand 1t is fatal objection
TO the proposition of the railroads allowing
only a court to interfere with rates which
they may fix and put in operation. that the
court will not interfere with a rate merely
because 1t may seem too high to the judge
who tries the case; that the court will only
act when 1t clearly appears that the rate is
grossly extortionate; that the proceedings
in court will be to be fatally dilatory,
and that when the court reaches a conclu-
sion condemning the rate fixed by the rail-
roads 1t will not have the power to fix a
remedial rate
What Is wanted is controlling body
which can decide the practical question
what rate on the whole is fair and Just to
the patrons Of the railroads and to the
railroads themselves-what the railroad
service is reasonably worth.
A tribunal which can only act by decid-
ing a judicial question that one rate is
grossly extortionate and another rate is
confscat tory of the railroad property will
utterly fail to meet the just demands Of
the passengers and shippers for whose BEN
eft primarily our vast railroad system has
been constructed through the organization
Omaha daily bee., 1906-01-28

ficient in the world. 1t is expected to cover
a circuit of not less than 1892 miles. This
station will convey not only messages to
and from Germany, Switzerland, France,
Great Britain and Denmark, but also the
larger part of Italy, Sweden and Norway,
and even portions of Spain, the Balkan
peninsula and Russia; to the southeast 1t
will operate as far Saragossa, in the
south 1t will almost reach Naples and
Cetinje in the east get close to St. Peters
burg, and in the north it will talk to the
people at Drontheim and about half way up
to Narvik German vessels homeward
bound from America will be able to COM
munlcate with the German station at Nord-
dech when they are still on the Atlantic
far beyond Lands End, u degrees west of
Greenwich. The installation at the station
will be set up by a Berlin firm supplying
machinery, apparatus and accessories for
wireless telegraphy, according to the sys-
tenn called "telefunken." At first 1t was
proposed to erect this gigantic telegraph
station on the Island or Borkum but
finally Norddelch at Norden was chosen as
the northwesternmost corner of the Ger
man empire. Norddeich is also the termi-
Omaha daily bee., 1906-01-28

The railroads further say that the maxi
ing of innumerable rates is complicated
business involving deep and prolonged in
vestigation and expert capacity; that the
power must exist to make Determinations
to meet varying conditions; that the sys-
TEN must be flexible, and that therefore,
the work must be entrusted to the railroad
officials uncontrolled by any power. The
sufficient answer is that original rate-mak-
ing power is not to be given to the COM
mission, but only remedial power in spe-
cial cases which the commission is in every
way qualified to exercise effectively. And
It is also obvious that If the commission is
unfit to do the work averred to be so
troublesome and complicated, much more
unfit is the court; which is further dsquali-
fed because the question cannot possibly
be made a judicial one except when 1t in
wolves only a decision whether a rate is so
extremely outrageous as to be either ex-
tortionate or confiscatory. The more i'm
portant the rate question the more COM

UnauestionabIe Power.

BY a similar method all railroad corpora
tions could be required to expressly assent
to any methods provided by law for liking
rates. or else driven out Of business. NO
court could interfere. There is no question
of power-it is only one of exigency or
popular determination.
Such extreme measures of legislation as
are above suggested are not likely TO be
resorted to in the pending and future con-
fiicts between the railroads and the people;
although it is well for the former to con-
template the possibility of their adoption.
Unquestionable and unobjectlonable powers
Of the states and congress exist to enact all
legislation which is now proposed-such as
we are now considering.
Congress may provide that the Interstate
Commerce commission may make remedial
rates and put them Immediately In force.
The courts may restrain and annul those
rates If they find they are confiscatory,
and congress cannot take away that power
except by extreme legislation. Congress
cannot confer upon the courts the dlscre-
tionary power to make remedial rates but
can confer upon the courts the judicial
power to declare a given rate extortlonate;
and possibly without legislation the courts
possess this latter power, which cannot be
taken away except by extreme legislation.
Under these practical conditions affecting
legislation 1t seems to be reasonably clear
that the legislation which should be passed
is that recommended by President Roose-
welt. 1t is intolerable that the railroads
which monopolies controlling 100000
miles of transportation, with competition
obsolete should be allowed to tax the peo-
pie of this country 5000 100000 annually,
with power to increase the rate of taxa
ton and the amount of money raised with

but before | had got half way through /
was held up and robbed by three rough
looking fellows with masks on their faces"
WAS II a real holdup?" asked his friend.
II thought II was at first" said the fresh
man, but after they had taken all the
change I had about me / asked them to
give me a nickel 10 pay my car fare home.
and they kicked me and told me TO walk
home Then / knew It was a part OF the
initiation. Ordinary robbers, you know.
would have given me the nickel."-chicago
