In Its Judgment. ="

The fact that conference commit
tees are about to sit on the rate
bill for the final work of licking
1t into shape is ample excuse for a
little further discussion of the crit
ical features Of that measure. Ger
tainly in that connection and at this
time, the conclusions of Judge S. II.
Cowan, of Fort Worth, Tex, the
man who is probably responsible
for more of the language of this
bill than any other individual, are
worth consideration.
Judge Cowan is one of the great
lawyers of the country, and one of
the most experienced in litigation
relating to interstate commerce and
its problems. Before the opening
of Congress he came here on behalf
of great shipping interests of the
West and Southwest, and, as at
torney for the interstate commerce
law convention, was for weeks in
conference with the men who wrote
the rate bill. Nobody made a larger
single contribution to it than he.
In letter to The Times Judge
CowaQ discusses the omission of the
words ''in its Judgment" in the
provision delegating discretionary
power to the commission in fixing
rates. He is determinedly of the
opinion that they should remain in
the bill, and he intimates broadly
that if they go out and the Allison
amendment stays in, there will be
grave danger of the measure prov
ing worthless.
This newspaper has not been in
clined TO take too seriously the al
legations that the inclusion of the
Allison amendment, plus the omis-
sion of these three words, repre-
scented something like a conspiracy
against the bill; but the vigor of
Judge Cowan's opinion on the sub
ject clearly suggests that it needs
attention. He is no sensationaIist:
he knows the bill in every phrase
and line; he knows the conditions
it is designed TO meet; and when he
insists that these words are needed
and presents a strong argument + q
them, he should receive every c.
sideration.
Il predict" writes Judge Cowan,
that the argument before the court
Will be that the two amendments
evidence the intent on the part of
Congress TO allow the courts to re-
wise the commissions discretion. =
The cOmpleXity Of thought in
the mind which declares in favor of
the power of Congress 70 authorize
a commission to fix rates and in the
same breath declares against the
power Of Congress to authorize the
commission to fix them according to
its judgment as to what is reason
able, is past conception" That
seems TO be a summary of the
whole argument
Judge COwan's letter is printed in
another column, and consideration
of it is commended to the gentle
men who now have the last guess

the meaning OF the legislation.
