NO RADICAL RATEMAKING
Mr. Clements Says Commerce Com
mission VIII Not abuse Pozcer.

Washington, April 5.-The feature Of the meeting
OF the National Association OF Railway Commis-
sioners to-day was the address OF Judson c. Glenn
ents. interstate Commerce Commissioner, who an
nOunced Il his opinion that the public cannot
rely on the selfish interest OF the carriers 10 see
that no injustice Is done any shipper. locality or
commodity. By the admissions OF the carriers
themselves. he said. this must he so.
His remarks were called forth by the report Of
the committee on rates and ratemaking offered by
benjamin F. Chadbourne. of Maine. its chairman.
That committee suggested that it would be good
idea TO bring into the deliberations OF the associa-
ton the knowledge OF the traffic managers. This
proposition. however. met with such opposition
that the convention declined TO invite those officers
10 attend the next meeting OF the convention. The
committee declared that rates should be Just and
reasonable. with as much stability possible;
should not discriminate as 10 persons. products
localities and should the entire cost Of trans
portation from origin 20 destination including all
intermediate services and charges The first making
OF rates, Il was suggested should be left 10 the
railroad
erations had been mentioned that applied and
many others would apply in particular cases, in de-
termiuing what IS a reasonable and just rate;
but" he said. ''in respect al these matters
whether by the railway commissions the Inter
state Commerce Commission. there is no body OF
public men responsible 10 the people Of this cOun

no danger Of that No set Of men can afford 10 do
that Il would be against the public interest and
be disapproved ana condemned at all tines
Referring to the charge that the vesting in a
commission of the power 20 fix remedial rates
would be open 10 great abuse. Mr.. Clements said:
While 7 might point out 10 you how the judicial
power Ia the courts could be abused II the courts
were 70 their faces toward the purpose OF a6usI
ing their powers and doing nothing else; while
GOULD point out how Congress itself could, dlsre-
gzrdng its obligations 10 the public, abuse It's
power; while ! could point out now, with ma

general presumption IS that the courts the E1eca-

He declared further # had been assumed that
