Senator Daniels Speech.

Senator Daniel, In his speech on the
railroad rate regulation bill, put himself
on record as being in favor of national
regulation of interstate commerce, put
Senator Daniel is lawyer, and he also
went on record as being opposed to any
measure which would In any way violate
the rights Of railroad corporations 70 nave
due process of law"
every Individual, whether human or
corporate" said he, lis entitled under
that principle to have his, her or Its
property protected in accordance with
the law of the land, made IN accordance
with constitutional authority ,4
The senator argued that there were diff
ferent classes Of processes and rights
which must be dealt with differently,
and that the question of interstate trans
nortation In accordance with that prac-
tice of classification must be dealt with
by using the mechanism ordinarily relied
unon. such as the Interstate Commerce
Commission. But when he came to dis
cuss the question Of review by the
courts OF the findings Of the commission,
he said that in his opinion 1t was Wisest
and best to provide for judicial review
or appcal. He expressed himself as being
5opposed to Mr.. Bailey's amendment pro-
hibitlng the inferior courts from suspend-
ing the findings Of the Interstate Conf
merce Commission. He feared that to
prohibit lie granting Of an interlocutory
injunction would be construed as not
In accordance with the constitutional re-
duirement regarding the due process OF
law. Neither commission nor a State
said he. could make a rate binding that
the courts could not Interfere upon aDpli-
cation, and IL the courts could take juris-
dlc,ion, they could grant immediate relief
If satisfied that wrong had been done"
He declared that 1t was neither just,
equitable nor wise to deprive a carrier
of the right of injunction and at the
same time apply the provision imposing
a fine OF s., 900 q day.
That is the position of The Times-Dis-
patch. In all our discussions OF the many
phases OF this intricate question, we
have Insisted that Congress could not
afford to adopt any measure which vio-
lated any fundamental principle Of our
jurisprudence. Even If 1t were constitu-
tional, 1t would be n most dangerous de-
partyre for Congress to deny to the rail-
roads or c'cr corporations or citizens
any remedy at law which has become a
recognized right; for be sure that If such
discrimination is begun against the rail-
roads, it will not end there. Revolu-
tons never go backward

The President and Rebates.

&;1t is understood that President Roose-
ayelt will to-day send to Congress spe-
Z cial message in connection with the re-
port which Commissioner Garfield has
prepared on the operation of the Standard
oil Company will speak his mind plainly
on the relationship that has existed be
tween that great corporation and tile
railroads. Our Washington correspondent
saws that the peculiar method used by
the Standard OIL in the development, Of.
Its business have been possible only
through the connivance and active aid
Of the railroads in the matter. OF granting
preferences and rebates to the trusts as
against Independent oil producers.
s There are many intricate questions in
Hvolyed in government regulation Of rail-
K road rates, but there is no doubt In the
4 government has the right to prevent re-
bates and determinations Of every form,
which tend to violate the great Amer
#ican principle of equal opportunity to
Z all, special privilege to all. There Us
INC such thing as equal opportunity in
trade to various individuals and conf
u muunitIes, If the railroads see Tit to
Il discriminate against one in favor of an
8other. They have tho power to bulid
up one at the expense of another. but
they have no right, and when they UNI
s'tiertake to do So they must be restrained.
t We talk of the tariff as trust builder
and so it is; Tut not half so much so as
the railroad would be under the infamous
rebate system. 1t is intolerablc and the
President cannot. condemn 1t In terms too
strong. We balle.xe. However, that most
of, the railroad managers are opposed to
the entire system or rebates, and would
welcome any regulation of law that would
abolish it. The trouble Is that when one
road offers the rebate as a trade bait,
other roads are compelled to do likewise,
II they get their share of the traffic.
President Roosevelt has already said so
much as this in tehalf of the good
roads" In behalf of those who are dis
posed to do well. and he has also said
that the laws should be made SO stringent
as TO protect the good roads from evil
corporation and also from the graft of
the trusts. IT is probable that his forth
coming message will lay additional en-
phasis on this phase of the question.
