If the Rate Biil is Ineffective Why Such
 Railroad oppOsltiOne

If the Rate Bill was likely to be failure and to accomplish nothing in the regulation of their business, the query naturally arises why did the railroads spend so much money and so great effort to defeat it? Why was it, If it had no effect, that in the interval between the time of it's passage and it's going into effect, there were filed with the interstate commerce commission, more notices of reduced rates by the railroads than ever had been filed in the previous twenty years of the life of the interstate commerce law?

Good Effect of Rate BiIl Naturally Not
 shown in Statistics.

The Rate Law has not been in oper-
 ation a year, and the beneficial results from it's operations though clear, are not ready to be presented in statistical array Moreover, the chief benefit of the act is likely to be its influence in dlscouraging attempts to renew the old abuses and such benefits do not ap- pear in statistics, The immediate ef- feet of the act has certainly been to compel railroads to regard the commits sion now as the important tribunal whose views they must follow They are manifesting every outward disposi-
 ton strictly to comply with the law and to avoid prosecution or complaint. The time has gone by in which the action of the commission can be ignor- ed or laughed at. The commission it. self has taken up its duties with re- .newed energy, has proceeded, without awaiting the intervention of the rail

Experience has shown that the rail- roads cannot be trusted to deal fairly h matters of transportation between themselves and their competitors in an outside business. The new law makes radical changes in the matter of the publication of rates. Under the old law, by means of what was called the midnight tariff" railroad com pany gave favored shippers advance information of contemplate reduction of rate and immediately restored the old rate when these shippers had prof tied by it. Thirty days notice is now required of any change in the rates un- less the commission, for good cause, mcdifies the requirement.
 Resembles National Banking Act.
 Again, the new law enables the com mission to prescribe uniform system of accounting for railroads. Under the old law the commission could call for a report of the railroads and might ask questions of railroads, but it had no way to compel a compliance with its request, and no penalty was provided ia the law for failure to make the full report. Under the new law, annual re- ports must be made under oath, and penalties are prescribed for failure tc file them with the commission within Q certain time. The commission ear call for monthly or special reports I may prescribe the bookkeeping meth. ods of the carrier and has access at al times through examiners to the car. rier's books, The carrier is forbidder i to keep any other books than those prescribed. The commissions authority under the new law over interstate commerce railroads is thus in many re
