The National tribune., 1906-04-12

The presentation in favor Of the Rate
bill made by Senator Long. OF Kansas,
was singularly clear and luminous. He
contends that rates could not be made
final beyond the power OF the courts
to inquire into certain questions. but
1t must clearly appear that 1t Is so
unjust or so unreasonable as TO amount
TO taking property without lust COM
pensation." which would be a violation
Of the Constitution. Courts will only
interfere with rates when they are
clearly confscatory. and confiscatory
rates are those which do not give a
fair return on the property employed
In performing the service. It would be
a judicial question 10 determine wheth-
er a maximum rate fixed by the Com
mission was sNetqas to permit fair
return for ther service. and Congress
could and should not interfere with
this judicial hhspon. The rights Of
the carriers were amply protected un-
der the Hepburn bill and the present
Jurisdiction Of the courts. whose power
would neithet be- restricted nor en-
iarged. Whiie,,he was satisfied that all
the rights of rtais railroads were pro-
tected by the,'HsRburn bill. in order
TO remove the, QUESTION as 10 this and
to the enthusiastically OF the bill, he
presented andmhrsed the adoption of

The National tribune., 1906-04-12

Senator Foraker says that the siiua-
ton at Cincinnati Is very acute. since
the shippers there are suffering from
the discrimination in favor OF New
York. which gives virtually as good
rates from New York as can be OBJ
tanned from Cincinnati. This is q COM
piication OF the question which has not
yet been approached. but which is GER
tain to have great influence In future
legislation. The obvious thing to do Is
TO prescribe a fiat rate or SO much per
mile per standard ton. The adoption
OF this. however. would be vigorously
resisted by many cities which arc now
enjoying determinations that take into
account their greater distance from the
scene OF distribution. For example,
Boston Is several hundred miles farther
from the Southern markets than New
York. and yet her large interest in the
railroads enables her to get rates which
will place her goods I'm the Southern
markets as chcaply as they can be OBJ
tanned from New York. Baltimore Is
farther from the markets OF the South
ern Atlantic scaboard than Is Rich.
mond. yet Baltimore is able 10 sell
goods TO Virginia and North and South
Carolina as favorabIy as Richmond can
which would be disturbed by n Hat rate
that counted every mile OF transporta-
ton.
The National tribune., 1906-04-12

Senator Baflev,s arrow was poorly
aimed when he demanded to know what
Senators had been comforting with the
railroad managers as to the rate bill.
Senator Dolliver met him very effec-
lively with the remark that lie did not
see any improperly In consulting with
the men who have made the subject of
rates the study OF their lives. This was
simply common sense. Rate making is
vast and intricate subject, upon which
Information should be sought from
every likely source. Railroad managers
are not criminals. to be debarred from
intercourse with every one. They are
American citizens. most OF them Just
as patriotic and public-spirited as 9TH
er citizens They are doing like every
other class OF business men-seifishiy
trying to get all they can out OF the
customers. On the other hand, their
customers are trying to make all they
can out OF the railroads. 1t is Congress-
duty to find just where the dividing
line is and draw 1t. The public should
be given what is fair and right. and the
railroads allowed what is just and rea-
sonabie. Both parties should be freely
consulted. In order to arrive at the right
conclusion. II Is as proper TO consult
with the railroad men as 1t Is with both
sides In the coal dispute or the tariff
revision.

Gov Higgins is having a very serious
time In iinding an Insurance Commits
sioper. The Developments have shown
that the ordinary ofice-holder is en-
tircly too small timber for such an i'm
portant place. There are any number
OF men who are anxious for the posi-
ton. and particularly for its S5.O0O-a-
year salary. but what Gov. Higgins de-
sires is q man to whom the salary Is
no object. and who is big enough to
cope successfully with the powerful In
surance corporations which Will seek
TO dominate him. Such a man would
only take the office from q sense OF
duty and hope OF being effective in
benefiting his fellow-citizens In the
work OF life insur-
ance. This reduces the possible num-
Der from whom a selection can be made
to very small list.

MARYLAND MONUMENT TO UNION

After many years Of effort by the
Maryland comrades. headed by Past
Chief John r. King. the
Legislature has at last passed a bill ap-
propriating $4,000 for a monument to
the Maryland soldiers and sailors OF
the Union during the war Of the rebel
lion. The bill passed the House some
time ago. but was held up in the Sem
ate by the Finance Committee. which
claimed that,t the State Treasury was
not in a condition to stand the strain.
The Committee f'sI Is had adopted an un-
favorable report. but a delegation of
G. A. r. men. went to Annapolis and
labored WITH Senators Linthicum, Per-

Naturally. the Ohio brewers do not
propose 10 give up several million dol
lars year without a fight They are
preparing a determined campaign in
the courts against the bill which has
increased the tax on saloons from $3.50
- $1,000 year. The constitutionaiity
OF any saloon tax has always been
shaky In Ohio. since Ii has TO be steered
;etween two clauses OF the Consti.u.
ton C 1851. which was intended tn
make Ohio a prohibition State. One
OF these clauses prohibits the issuance
Of licenses for the sale OF liquor. An
other makes all taxation equal. Con-
scqnently tax levy upon saloon must
be regarded at one time as a tax and
at another time as license, which is
pretty. skillful manipulation. The ring
Of brewers in Ohio virtually own all
the saloons. and the increased tax comes
directly out OF their pockets.
