Must File Express Rates.

Express companies have been given until December 90 to prepare their rates for publication as required by then we rate law. The first notifica- ton of the commission gave the com panies until November L On that date representations Were made to the commission showing that all but Wells, Fargo X Co. had succeeded in
 the work of preparing the loaal rates. Wells, Fargo X Co., had been hampered in their work by the San Francisco fire. The labor of working out joint rates, the commission was informed, would be much greater and would re- ouire number of months. The con- panies discovered in tho course Of their labors that their rates were in d state of considerable confusion, and that often there were diifer tnt rates between the same places. These d. crepances they determined to reme- dv by lowering the rates JO sAe lnlel of the lower of the TWO I'd es. While the commissioners have fee@!Vad s6Hts complaints that all express rate; arc higher than they onght to ac, as
 dicated by the earnings of f,e con panies, they have had few co.n- plaints of discrimination.

The PLAY OF the Senate.

The passage of the railroad rate bill
by the house with an almost unanimous
vote has more or less demoraliZed the
senate opposition to that measure. It
was not ntil lately that it appeared
that the measure would pass with more
than meagre majority and many good
judges were doubtful if it would pass
at all. The strength Of the president
could not be broken by all the con1bina-
tons of the railroads and at the last
moment the opposition went to pieces
and the house was practically unani-
NOUS for the bill
The bill has gone to the senate and
the railroad members Of that body (for
that is what they deserve to be called
are puzzled as to the best tactics to
adopt.
Senator Lodge Of massachusetts has
assumed the position of spokesman for
the opposition. He is not willing to
come out as an opponent Of rate regula-
ton altogether that wouldn't do. He
says that rebates ought not to be al
lowed. He chastises the railroads for
discrimination against individuals and
against communities and says that the
punishment ought to be imprisonment
instead of fine, for as he points out, a
fine cuts little figure with railroads, and

after the watered stock, everything
will come out al right and we will have
just the right kind of conditions.
The News is Of the opinion that the
president is on the right track now.
The present move is for a correction OF
the ills that have no excuse even With
watered stock, and the removal thereof
is matter that will try the energies
of those who want a fair Zeal, even
after the people have become raore &C
customed to the situation that exists
and thoroughly determined to carry the
matter to final and complete solution.
There will be lots Of time in the future
for that sort of thing.
Strobe claims to have made the dis
covery of the alleged fact that all the
trouble lies in watered stocks notwith-
standing the fact that all progressive
papers, including that controlled by
the writer hereof, treated this matter
many years ago.
But Strobe is off the switch, away
off. The truth is that The removal of
all the, water that has been absorbed
in railroad stocks would have nothing
at ali to do with the trouble caused by
discrimination. Not at all. This mat
! ter of discrimination that latterlys has
taken the form Of rebates is phase of
the question entirely by itself and one
that must have separate and distinct
treatment.
Strobe is quite a thinker and he
knows lot about lumber, but his lack
of information on the railroad subject
would make a big book. The people of
this country are determined to have
the railroad matter treated now and
treated right. When the rebate mat
ter is settled they will be ready for
whatever other phase Of the subject
that may appear to be the more time
ly.
But the question of water in stocks
is not so important as it used to be.
The courts of some of the states have
taken the position that reasonable
rate is one that will give fair return
on the cost of reproducing given
road, and under that proposition it does
not matter what the capitalization may
be-the basis being the cost of repro
! ducsion. STROBE will get right sooner
or later and he will write some good
articles on the real question. In the
meantime it falls to others to help him
on the track. This is cheerfully and
gratuitously done.

Strode's Lumber World, published at

it told the dear people that the railroads
were Ike all ether institutions and that
they were controlled by the law of
competition s1d that the best way to
treat chem was not to treat them at
all. Now it says that the president is
off the track and that the trouble is
not in rates at all, but in the water
that has soaked into railroad stocks.
If the president will just let go at this
time and take up another tack and go

as he might have added, is charged up
to expense and makes an excuse for
higher rates. Thus far Mr.. Lodge
talks well. But he doesn't continue
well.
Senator Lodge is opposed to the rail
road commission having the power to
fix rates. That, in his estimation, is
against the principles Of good govern
ment. He thinks, or appears TO think,
| that competition ought to be depended
upon to control rates. But the same
competition ought also TO control rates
as between individuals and communities
and it doesn't do it. Senator Lodge
knows better every intelligent man
knows better.
But the senate will come to time, if
not now it will in the near future.
The people of the country are going to
have railway control, and if there is no
other way they will have the senate
elected by the people or abolished.
And it wouldn't be any cause for
alarm if it were to be abolished. Look
over The history q the last few years
and see if in the legislation of congress
there would have been any loss if there
had been no senate.
