INreRPRETIsG THE RATE LAW,


Probably the most important act of
the Interstate Commerce commission
so far as facilitating the hesoperation of
the new law is concerned is its de-
termination to grant Interpretation OF
the law upon proper request, not
withstanding its long established prae-
tice and announced Intention after the
amendments were adopted at the late
session of congress to follow the
judicial rule whereby questions are not
decided until regularly presented In
the form of concrete controversies re-
lating to some particular problem. The
judicial rule. which is the fruit of CEN
turtles of experience, is recognized as
vital to sound court practice, although
n may often entail delay. expense and
sometimes serious injury. If followed
by the commission the court rule
would obviously postpone for years
the definite settlement vi innumerable
questions of construction of the rate
law and practice under It. which It is
VI the hSheob PupiAS SpHOSth W Sioat
up at the outset or promptly TO put
in the course of settlement. All this
has been done. 50 far as the commits
sion can do it. by permitting parties
in proper interest, whether railroad
companies. shippers or communities to
come directly before the commission
and secure itA Interpretation on I'M
portant. but doubtful points. which

THE pEorL E AND THE SENATE.


There has already been a more favor
able response than most anticipated to
the Iowa legislatures invitation TO the
states to join In a concerted movement
to secure a constitutional amendment
for election of United States senators
by direct vote of the people Already
twenty-nine states have given notice
of intention to be represented by dele
gates in the convention to be held at
Des Moines in December. and assur-
ances have been given that several
other states will take like action.
There is, therefore, ground for hope
that the effort may produce some prac.
tical results. *
The advocates OF this reform have
long recognized the fact that 1t would
be necessary to- secure constitutional
convention which requires petitions
therefor to congress OF two-thirds of
the state legislatures. Many legisla-
lures have heretofore, at one time or
another. adopted joint resolutions, but
there has been no concerted movement
among them. The object Of the Iowa
meeting is to attempt effective organi-
zation. whereby the cooperation of at
least the necessary thirty state legisla
lures may be brought to bear upon
congress to insure the calling of q con-.
stitutional convention.
Such a movement should by NO
means become occasion for relaxing
the increasingly successful effort in
the several states to secure in advance
indirectly, as near as may be. the ef-.
feet of the desired constitutional
amendment through the direct primary
nomination or. where that is not done.
through convention nomination OF SEN
atorial candidates. the same being
morally binding on members OF legis-
latures. but on the contrary. it should
rather stimulate that EFFORT every
where. because every such nomination
and election not only brings the United
States senate at once nearer popular
control. but hastens the day when
popular senatorial elections will be
compulsory and uniform throughout
the union.
Omaha daily bee., 1906-09-25


The rapidity of the extension in the
east OF reduced maximum fares, both
for interstate and local trips, is re-
iected in the filings with the national
commission, although comparatively
few OF them have come to widespread
public notice Yet the revolution is so
marked that high railroad oficials are
quoted as expressing the opinion that
the 2-cent maximum will be prac-
tically established in the New England
states. New York and Pennsylvania
and possibly Indiana in advance of
legislative action, Ohio, as is well
known. having legally established that
limit last winter.
II is suggestive that number Of APP
plications by important roads have al
ready been made to the national COM
mission for permission to recall filings
of reductions from the az OF Scent
to the IN cent maximum, on the
ground that competing roads have an
nounced reduction to cents, which
they desire to meet promptly. The
Pennsylvania, which started the move
ment., had hardly announced reduc-
ton, few weeks ago, from az to
IN cents one way on It's main line
east of Pittsburg before the Erie re-
piled with cut to 2 " cents, over It's
whole system, with transferable q
cent fat rate mileage book, but the
Boston & Albany. the New York, New
Haven & Hartford and other roads
haye now made one bite OF the cherry,
SO that the 2-cent rate a@nl be extern
sively effective within thirty days,
practically compelling competitors gen
orally to come to that level.
1t would not be so important IL these
reductions were made merely in the
heat OF a passing rivalry and liable
to be as suddenly restored. The Law
now prevents this, and besides the
change is deliberately made as, per-
manent policy on the settled convic-
ton that the old maximum can or
at least should no longer be main
tanned. And the eastern roads that
are vainly resisting the reduction are
doing so, not on the ground that It
should not be made as matter both
of public and business policy, but that
II made voluntarily by Them they fear
immediate agitation for compulsory
reduction below the 2-cent rate.

Accept THE PROPOSITION.


The telephone franchise controversy
in Omaha has at last reached the stage
where the Nebraska Telephone com
pany is ready to make some conces-
sions to the demand for lower rates.
In communication pending before
the city council the telephone COM
pany offers three alternative PROPOSE
tions--one OF them for the payment Of
a royalty of per cent on gross earn
ings into the city treasury, beginning
at once, and the other two for re-
duced charges to telephone users, be-
ginning January 1, 1907. OF the
two proposals for reduced charges.
one contemplates a reduction of so
cents month from the present charge
Of 81 for individual metallic circuit
unlimited business telephones, with
the abolition of toll charges on con-
nections between Omaha and South
Omaha. and the other straight cut
of 81 a month from the present 81
charge. The condition upon which all
these offers are made is that they will
continue so long as no franchise be
granted any other company, and that
the concessions are to lapse at any
time another franchise proposition is
submitted to the voters of the city.
The Bee has no hesitancy in saying
that it believes the council should ac-
cept one of these propositions before
they are withdrawn, and that the pro-
position to be accepted preferably Is
the 81 reduction on monthly rentals of
business phones. While other tele-
phone propositions are before the
council. there is no assurance that
any of them will ever be voted by the
people, nor even a guaranty that they.
will be submitted to the people for
approval or rejection. II the conces-
sion offered by the Nebraska Tele-
phone company should be accepted
and these other ordinances should fail
OF adoption by the council, the users
of business telephones in Omaha
would be so much the gamers, while
should the offer be terminated after
acceptance by the adoption of one or
more of the franchise ordinances no
one would be the loser. Moreover,
should the charges for telephones be
once reduced, no matter what the con-
dition. the chances of ever having
them put back to their former places
over the protest of telephone patrons
would be very small indeed.
The plan the council should pursue
right now is to take what is within
reach and then ask for more.

methods are necessary In some
branches OF fits work. IL will, OF
course, continue to employ them In
all matters TO which they are appro-
pirate. Az 20 other matters the COM
mission Is actually proceeding to de-
eide important questions of legal in
depreciation. and has in fact already
disposed Of some, in advance OF their
appearance as controverted issues. The
important decisions az to payment for
transportation and as to exemption Of
cotton export rates from the thirty
day notice, are examples OF prompt
settlement of questions which by court
practice would have dragged along in
definitely, and forcibly suggest the i'm
mense aggregate saving Of time that
will be effected.
The commission is, without ques-
ton, gaining distinctly in public con-
fidence as an efficient agent Of public
control policy. Among the gravest
complaints against the course Of things
under the old law was the almost in
terminable delays OF judicial proceed
ure, both before the commission itself
and in the courts to which all import
ant questions could be transferred,
even in spite of it's rulings. Antici-
patory interpretations, can jeopardize
no essential rights, for court appeal
remains though it has been greatly
simplified and curtaiied, but innumer-
able disputed points which formerly
had to await decision of the main
issue, can be promptly and certainly
disposed Of

Extent of the Business and Profts of
the Standard OIL Company.
Wall afraet Journal


the standard OIL Company.
Wall Street Journal
The gross business of the Standard OIL
company is exceeding all previous high rec
ords ana its earnings are also reaching
record breaking figures. which leads to the
belief that the final dividend on the stock
this year will be large. fJ
1he Standard ON company now has ir
storage 5s.00o.00o barrels OF crude OIL, which
gives some idea OF it's immense inventories.
This oil represents valuation in the
neighborhood of $25,0o000o. The business Of
the company is growing so large as to tax
the capacity of the pipe lines and refineries
to their utmost. !,
No statement bearing on the earnings
of the Standard OIL company has ever been
issued for the benefit of the public, but II
10 understood that earnings are now run
ing at the rate of more than s75.0o0.0oo a
year. The surplus of the company Is an
other unknown quantity In the affairs Of
the Standard. although report has II that
included In the item in question are
500. 100000 of government bonds.
The question OF increasing the capital
stock of the Standard OIL company has not
been discussed at any Of the directors
meetings OF late. but the impression pre-
walls that the stock will eventually be in
creased. r
Dividends to the stockholders Of the
Standard OIL company within the last eight
years aggregate approximately $3.50. 0.000.0 900.
and before the close Of next year they
shall have reached about sioo. 900 900. or more
than four times the outstanding capital
stock.
Representatives Of the corporation seem
confident that the litigation involving the
Standard will blow over in time without
serious results.
