thought he could dig mp the $460.
Lewis and Howe were the officers.
Thomas Patton was in the same
fix. He would have to 60 and see
his employers about his $500. The
chief and Officer Burke got him.
When Jim Pat Fleming was cgI-
ed be and the mayor eyed each other
for a moment. Jim assumed the
air of a martyr and at first loftily
announced that he had nothing to
say. But he got warmed up and
scared after while and made some
excellent promises. IF You'll let
me off easy this morning. I'll guar
antee that you will never see me here

said in part, Il am going TO let you

STATE AFTER INTERSTATE.

The action of the lower house of the
Ohio legislature, which by an over
whelming vote has passed measure
creating state railroad rate commits
sion clothed with plenary powers to
deal with the whole subject, only antic-
ipates by short time what will be
done under one form or another by
many other states in the union. Some
states, indeed, have already long since
made much progress in actual control
of transportation rates within their sew
eral Jurisdictions and in the correction
therein Of wrongful determinations and
other abuses, but in point of fact most
of the early state commissioner laws
and laws purporting to regulate rates,
although accomplishing some good, have
not gone to the root of the matter.
The difference between these earlier
attempts and the state rate legislation
which is sure as fate now to follow Is
that the public will no longer be salts
fed with anything short of veritable
and absolutely enforclble control of the
carrier tolls eXacted from the earning
capacity of the whole community. The
day has gone by when the mere legal
form or promise of control without sub
stantial effect will suffice. The meas
ure passed by the Ohio house under
takes to reach, with reference to state
hauls and rates, the same ends which
the champions of public control have in
view with reference to interstate COM
merce. Obviously the nationwide strug-
gle 10 reduce transportation corpora
tons to subordination would prove in
large part futile il il should stop with
the enactment OF the most stringent
measure which is likely to pass congress,
and II 1t We're not supplemented by
bringing the fun power of the several
states to bear on railroad freight and
other charges within their exclusive jur-
sdictiOn-especially of states like Ne
braska where such arbitrary over
charges and determinations on local
hauls are extorted now. as they have
been from the beginning, and where
anything looking toward public control
has been uniformly impotent and far
cical.
One of the most effective weapons
heretofore of the corporations for fight
ing separate state effort to regulate
local charges is falling from their hands.
For with national control established
the corporations cannot effectualIy pun
ish state by arbitrarily raising inter
state charges on the commodities i'm
which ii may be vitality interested, as
they were formerly wont to threaten and
do with great effect And with the
states following in the wake of the
great movement now nearing It's crisis
ri Washington il will he impossible to
concentrate AS effectively as formerly
