FIRST BIG RATE CASE.

The first notable complaint Of dis
elimination under the new law has
been formally filed with the Interstate
Commerce commission on behalf of
Spokane by its jobbers' association and
chamber of commerce, attacking
through rates which are greater from
eastern points to Spokane than from
the former to Pacific coast terminals.
The commission is asked to abolish as
inherently an unreasonable and wrong
full discrimination the rate from
the eastern seaboard to Spokane which
is, In fact. the through rate to the
competing city OF Seattle, plus the local
rate from Seattle back to Spokane,
and to substitute for 1t practically
distance tariff.
The Importance of the case grows
out Of the fact that the complaint
raises the whole question of competi-
tive relations under the law between
all interior trade centers and those
having water transportation, whether
ocean, lake, river or canal, and its
roots are intermingled with the yexed
question of differentials. While the
original interstate commerce act Of
1887 prohibited the discrimination in
volved in a greater charge for the
shorter distance in the same direction
as general rule. 1t took care to ex-
cept cases of "dissimilar conditions"
the phrase being intended to apply
chiefly to water competition. The
commission has explicitly sanctioned
suspension of the long and short haul
clause in many cases, but no city sit
uated relatively as Spokane has ever
been content with such adjudications
or with the rate practices of the trans
portation companies.
The sweeping character of the
amended laws prohibition of discrimi-
nations has encouraged the interior in
terests, Spokane being merely the first
before the commission. to raise the
broad question involved in water COM
petition. Obviously the point Is of
radical and far-reaching consequence
and illustrates the enormous powers
which have been vested in the commits
sion. Heretofore neither had the
terms of the law been peremptory as
to such conditions. nor had the COM
mission authority to enforce its de-
crees. 1t will now act in this case
with full authority. not only to annul
the vast system of rates complained
Of, but also to substitute outright for
1t such rates as 1t may deem proper.

THE REAL ISSUE.

The able speech of Secretary Taft in
Maine. as the effect on the newspaper
press generally shows, proves TO have
been most successful in clearing the
atmosphere of great deal OF mis- and
cloud as to what business is really be-
fore the country to be attended 10 in
the congressional elections now less
than sixty days distant. Mr.. Bryan's
arrival had helped for the moment TO
obscure the business in hand. for the
other democratic leaders, utterly UNI
able to state any definite point of i'm
mediate policy. had waited in hope
that he might do II for them.
But the clear note sounded by Sec
rotary Taft has served to recall public
attention to the common sense. fact
that the paramount issue is not gov
ernment ownership of railroads, to
which Mr.. Bryan has committed him
self, nor revision of the tariff. nor any
of the interminable list OF vague par
tisan complaints which he compiled for
his reception speech. Even IL the OPP
position could agree on mixed national
and state ownership of railroads the
congress to be elected could by no
possibility put on the statute book a
line or a syllable of law to that end,
and innumerable democratic leaders
like Senator Bailey and Congressman
Williams uncompromisingly controvert
MT. Bryan's proposition.
All such actions and partisan
maneuvers collapse before Secretary

In its account of the republican
convention for the Eleventh sena-
torial district. comprising the coun-
ties Of Madison, Pierce, Stanton and

one episode as follows:
n. Halserson offered a series OF resolu-
tions which contained a clause condemning
the practice OF trading in conventions,
which was taken to be aimed at ]. A.
williams Of Pierce. republican Candidate
for railway commissioner on the state
ticket This aroused decided opposition
and considerable heated discussion, during
which Mr. williams, who was in the room,
was called upon, and he said that he had
nothing to cover up. Amy statement that
traded the Pierce county delegation TO
anyone or for anybody. Is en- absolute
faisehood. did not trade a single vote.
The delegation did not come down for me-
When they came to Lincoln they did not
know ! was a candidate. The delegation
was nominaliy instructed for Rosewater
and we voted for him for Ave ballots. Then
II was concluded that Mr.. Rosewater could
not make IL. and each delegate voted his
individual preference, and as chairman l
announced the ballot four for Brown and
or sell-out Of any kind"
In the language of the immortal
poet, Judge williams doth protest too
much" A man who will betray the
interests of his constituents for a con-
sideration will not hesitate to lie about
1t. That Judge Williams endeavored
to trade the Pierce county delegation
In the recent republican state conven-
ton for his own benefit in a deal that
required It to repudiate Its instruc-
tons is self-evident beyond successful
contradiction.
II Williams wanted to be a candi-
/ date for railway commissioner at any
time, he had a right to announce his
candidacy and ask the support OF his
home county. More than that, he had
right to ask the support of the
friends of Edward Rosewater, to whom
the Pierce delegation was committed
not by nominal instructions, but by
unequiyocal resolution. But lacking
the manhood to come out in the open,
Judge Williams in the despicable way
of traitors repeatedly assured Mr..
Rosewater and members of his dele
cation, that he as chairman would
cast the Pierce county vote undivided
| for Mr.. Rosewater from first to last.
while at the same time he had ar
ranged the details of the sell-out with
the manager of the opposition.
The dead give-away is the fact the
goods we're delivered and the deal con-
summated. Representative Caldwell
of Clay county was told in advance OF
the convention that II Brown won out
the slate for railway commissioners
would include Winnett, Caldwell and
williams, while Williams. with all his
brazenness, did not even have the
hardihood to come to Mr.. Rosewatei
and ask the support of the Douglas
delegation.
| Although the Pierce county defec
ton did not decide the senatorial con
test, the people of Nebraska will still
be called upon to say at the election
in November whether a man guilty o.
such dishonest conduct can be trusted
to stand up for the people against the
Establishments Of the railroads in {
position where the most vital public
interests will be at stake.
