corrected many of the evils of rebating,
although the Department of Justice has
recently declared that the sugar trust and
several railroads are still engaging in the
practice, and the department is going af-
ter them. The Elkins law, however, II
an important feature of this consecutive
plan of regulation of corporations.
The rate bill in some respects Is the
most radical example of governmental
control of business and industrial affairs
ever attempted in this country. The most
important provision of the bill Is the au-
thority given the Interstate Commerce
Commission to declare that rate fixed
by railroad Is not just and reasonable.
and to state in terms what is just and
reasonable rate. That rate is to stand
and be enforced unless il is enjoined,
suspended or set aside by the court. The
railioad company will have to go into
court and spend its money to contest the
rate. the government defending in behalf
Of the shipper, the latter not putting up
a cent. The railroads are content that
they have the fullest right of appeal to the
courts. That they have insisted upon all
the time, and they finally secured il, many
of the ablest men in the Senate holding
that 1t could not and should not be with
held.
The authority of the Interstate Com
merce Commission is broadened to cover
pipe lines, express companies, switches,
terminals, storage facilities, icing charges
and all the .sidc issues Of railway trans
portation which in the past have lent
themselves TO Determinations against
small shippers in favor Of great corpora
Tons. These special privileges made most
of the trouble. and under the old laws
the commission could not reach them.

cuRslne THE CORPORATIONS.
How the Railway Rate Bill supple
ments Previous LegisIation.

The passage of the railway rate bill
puts the capstone upon structure of
laws designed to check corporate ruth
lessness. The first of the series of bills
with this end In view was the interstate
commerce law, enacted In 1887. 1t was
at best feeble measure because it was
shorn of its effect in large part by design
ing men acting in the interest of corpora
tions. The commission was given the
power to declare but not the authority to
enforce its full decree. The commission
could upset a rate fixed by railroad but
could not supply another. The commits
sion was flouted openly by the railroads,
defied in the courts and its decisions were
often upset. Yet all the time it was do
ing good work for the people and was
calling attention to evils that existed and
that could be cured by adequate legisla-
tion.
The next great enactment in the same
line was the Sherman antitrust law of
1890. For long time it remained a
dead letter, practically, on the statute
books. The corporations laughed at it.
Gigantic trusts were formed and carried
ON their operations openly and boldly.
The people complained from time to time,
but the trusts paid no attention to their
mutterings and went gayly along with the
big game. Finally, the boldest stroke of
all was attempted. The great Northern
Securities merger was foated. 1t had for
object the controlling by two or three
men of the entire system of railway trans
portation between the Mississippi river
and the Pacific coast from the Canadian
border to the Gulf. About that time At
torney General Knox, in the Department
of Justice, tumbled over the revised stat
utes and picked out the Sherman act, un-
der authority of which he went after that
merger, hammer and tongs. The Supreme
Court upheld hts contention and demel-
ished the merger. Since then other trusts
have been attacked and to-day half doz-
en- of the great combinations are on the
rack.
The next legislative act in the same
direction was the Elkins anti-rate law Of
1909. The Elkins act is supposed to have

ENJOYS and the gorgeous toilets of the
women made "a dazzling spectacle.
Frederick Wallingford Whitridge, the
American envoy, and his staff were
among the first to arrive. Mrs. Collier,
wife of the American minister, was the
only American womaninside the church.
Mrs. Whitridge, wife of the special en-
voy Of the United States, occupied a
tribune outside the church.
King Alfonso and his bride left the
church at II 80 p. M. The announce
ment of the wedding by the firing of
artillery salutes was wildly acclaimed
by the people.
Wedding Fetes Are Lavish.
The fetes for the kings wedding
were prepared on an unusual scale OF
lavishness. They were divided In thre,
parts, the first including the family
fetes celebrated at the royal palace by
the members of the royal family; Sec
ond, the fetes offered to the visiting
princes, envoys and high functionaries
and, third, the popular fetes organized
for the people. These began on the
wedding day, lasting a week or more.
The royal fetes included banquets, din
ners and grand ball, to which only
the representatives Of royal houses hav-
ing family alliances with Spain were
bidden- The official fetes to foreign en-
voys and high functionaries included re-
ception and banquet at the royal palace,
military review, gala performance at
the Royal Thoater. reception and ball at
the Hotel de Vile ard many other en-
tsrtainments for the noted guests.

( sHlafs NAhtS A<OTRs
Consul Mansfield, Valparaiso, Chill,
announces that the government OF that
country proposes to construct rail-
way through the provinces of Tocna
and africa into Bolivia. The latter
country is provided with poor facili-
ties for getting about and the impress
sion is strong that IL Chili's plans of
constructing some 2,695 miles of road
arc carried out a great commercial
revolution will be effected. Regard
ing the present conditions, Mr.. Mans
field speaks as follows:
Road-making in Bolivia, owing to
the peculiar coniguration Of the coun-
try, has many difficulties. The most
important roads have a total length Of
2,297 kllometers Q,426 miles). In the
loftiest parts Of the Andes the high
ways are little more than goat paths,
which have been cut by Indians for
the traffic of their beasts of burden.
Along these mountain paths droves Of
mules, donkeys and llamas are con-
tinually going and coming, carrying
from the interior tropical fruits, cocoa,
.yungas, coffee, etc., and taking back
from La Paz and other towns along
the routes -four, groceries, alcohol, ETC.
The internal trade carried on in this
manner will be largely increased once
the country is tapped with railways.

RARREs COMPARATIVE pEBT.

The average per capita debt, less sink
ing funds, Of the $50 cities Of the United
States with populations from 5000 70
so 900 Is $27.s5. OF the individual cities
in this class, Barre has per capita net
debt Of 5000; Burlington $3.50, and
Rutland s37.s7. Each Of these Vermont
cities is above the average in It's class.
in cities Of the United States with a
population of $4,000, Newton, Mass,
has the largest net per capita debt Of
sfe5.5s, with Boston not far behind
with sios.17. The average per capita
debt less sinking funds, for these larger
cities is s5e.97. In comparison with
these Barre doesn't look so bad, but
her debt is much larger than most cities
in her class.
