Interstate Commerce Laws

IN MS reference to interstate COM
merce the president in his message to
congress, reaches the conclusion that
the federal government is clothed with
sumc1ent power to control interstate
commerce corporations without fore
Ing an unnatural construction OF the
constitution. All that is needed, in
his opinion, is an extension of activity
IN the exercise of the power always
enjoyed. He thinks the railroads and
other Interstate corporations snould be
required to be incorporated under a
national law or be licensed by the
government. Thus the interstate COM
merce commission or some other ma
tional authority would be enabled to
pass upon the issuance of securities
and to ascertain the physical valuation
of railroads when necessary
The president finds that the business
Of the country is hampered by the in
effective, and, in part, wrongful opera
tions of the Sherman antitrust law.
He urges additional legislation de-
signed to permit certain business COM
binations which are not against the
public interest. He recognizes the
fact that some combinations are not
only desirable, but necessary, and that
business men are forced to violate the
law il business itself is to survive.
The possible misuse of such combina-
tions can be prevented, in the presf-
dents opinion, by requiring the pub
1ication of all accounts and subjectfng
all books and papers to government
inspection. The. president asks also
for Legislation shutting from inter-
state commerce any corporation form
ed for the purpose Of monopoly or
whose operations create monopoly
of the necessarfes of life; requiring
the real owners of a corporation to
do business in their own name: de-
nying the right of interstate corpor-
ations to hold stock in other corporal
tions unless on approval Of the govern
D1ent. and requiring the publication
of lists of owners and stockholders

No answer has yet been received by
the city officials from the Clarendon
WaterWOrks Company in regard to the
renewal of the offer on behalf OF the
city, made at the meeting of the boar1
of aldermen on the night OF December
End. of $4,000 for the purchase of
the private plant by the municipality.
The original offer Of $4,000 made
several weeks ago after certain deyel-
cpments had caused d reduction from
S155. 900 the first sum decided on by
the city as a fair one for the plant,
was refused by the Clarendon officials.
and on December End that offer was
renewed and the company given Is
days to answer
As to what answer the company
will make there Is no authoritative
statement, but it is understood that an
effort will be made to reach compro-
mise with the city, $l50,0O0 being the
sum generally regarded as the one
which the company would be willing to
compromise on. This effort will how
ever. not be made unless there is
practical assurance that the proposition
would be favorably received

that the city recommend to the Claren-
don water company that it retain
the plant, that the present contract
existing between the city and the COM
pany, which has about years to run be
aTnulled, and that in it's place a new
and iron clad contract be drawn up
which shall embody the Improvement
of the present plant to the extent of
a good many thousand dollars, MAX
ing it adequate in every way to meet
the demands for the good water ser
vice. Among the improvements which

such a contract, would be the erection
os a new stand pipe in the southern
section of the city, the installation
Of a new water main along some prin-
cipal street, and the furnishing Of bet
ter service in the business section It
has been suggested also that the ques-
tion of rates be decided on and the reg

There is thought to be no legal impe-

end in view, but with what degree Of
satisfaction Or success cannot of course

(Which is Right-Wallzer Or Clark %
Under the above headline the unre-
l:ar-able Of Sunday prints that part of
Judge Walkers opinion which bears
upon the question in the noted Sou
thern Railway case as to whether the
Southern Railway is criminallE liable
for q fine in violating the rate law:
it also prints Judge Clark's dissenting
opinion IN full.
To the ordinary layman, upon
careful reading of both opinions, It
would seem that Judge Clark had the
better of the argument, and this is
not surprising, considering the: fact
that Judge Clark has the popular side
of the argument and discusses at great
length the apparent injustice of in
dieting. an agent who only obeys; the
orders. of the principal and at the
same time allowing the company to go
free
This seems to us to be unjust, and
it probably SO appears to the people
generally, and gives latitude for the
of partial public.
Judge Walkers opinion on the other
hand, is a careful, painstaking an.
elaborate opinion upOn the technical
niceties of the law, written by an i'm
partial and thoughtful Judge, who ap-
parently decided to only present the
law as it hao peen handed down from
generation to generation, and to apply
/ ii under Well known rules and regu-
laions to the construction Of the
statute in this case
Many believe the rate statute is un-
just. But it should be borne in mind
that the legislature enacted the law,
and not the supreme court. The su-
preme court simply construes it.
, So when we examine these two opin-
! ions carefully, remembering that the
| opinion of the court has the sanction
of three other just, able and impair
tial supreme court judges, and that it
also has been the law since time i'm
memorial, and remembering further
that the learned chief justice has not
cited single case to support his view
that a corporation can be indicted for
aiding and abetting an agent in the
commission Of a crime. when the s3mo
law provides a penalty to be enforced
against the corporation. is there any
