Reduced Railroad Rates.

The question of railroad rates either fixed by the
state on transportation within the fixed by
the United States interstate business, must event
fully come before the United States supreme court
the question of constitutionality. The pressing
issue is whether the reductions shall go into eff
feet at once by pjunctions issued by the lower
federal courts be postponed until each is reach
ed and Is decided by the highest csurt. This matter
of the railroads being able to take advantage of all
delays was the contention of the Democrats when
the railroad bill being discussed in the SEN
ate and the Culberson amendment which the Re-
pubcans defeated, was intended to that defect
in the law. Regarding the same delay under state
legislation the question is of state rights, and
whether the reduced rates be held up by mi unc-
tion of inferior federal issued by Judge in
evident sympathy with the railroads, when the nat
ural order of procedure would be that the should
go to the state supreme court and thence to the
United States supreme court. La the North Carolina
cases the railroads forced by Governor Glenn to
acknowledge the supremacy of state courts and the
reduced rate has already gone into effect.

The Flood of Laws.

Judge Parker's address to the American Bar as
socaton faulty Legislation lays the at the root
of the evils of to-day. The country has been be-
wtched and besotted in the belief that the for
what they suffer be wrought BY regulation
"a Congress or legislature is to meet. For, the
Judge well says the country is overwhelmed by re-
curing floods of raw legislation. We should he
thinks, give more attention to statute making, not
only that may have less of it, but that what we
get may be of better quality.
Men of all parties and shades of political opinion
admit the truth of this statement. The rebuF
he delivered most appropriately directed to an
assemblage of lawyers since this profession is gen
orally majority of every legislative body in the
country. As result of their crude, often selfish, if
not wrong, endeavors, we have mass of conflicting,
inefficient, disappointing laws, many of which the
after long, expensive and unsettihg litigation
justly refuse to sustain.
The error lies in legislatng to govern by specific
rule instead of general principle in eliminating the
yielding, minute, and always shortcoming statutes
1t is time to away from attempts to keep people
good by mere making of laws. There is nothing of
satisfaction in the endeavor the present chaotic,
cumbroas conflicting condition of legal practice and
the lack of popular confidence in it goes to show.
By lawyers this evil has upon and TO lawyers
we may rightly look for relief. And just physi-
clans eminent in their profession always busy in
teaching and showing people how to live without
their mInistrations trust the multitudes of
honorable lawyers of the country seek to do like
wise.

Some Counties Holding Primaries.

The holding of primaries this year in number of

interest in the question of the eligibility for

state officers elected in the numbered years

incumbens from two to three years. subse quent

the constitution forbds any person holding either of
the two offices for more than four in any period of
six years In counties those holding primaries
this year, persons the first term of three years
have announced themselves as candidates for re-
election advancing the argument that if ele cted and
the supreme court decides they only the
four years, they can serve one year of the second
term at the expiration of which time vacancy will
be created which must be filled by appointment made
by the proper authorities. Hamber of attorneys
dissent from this view, holding that person who

ballot that elected commission for the full term
could not be issued in face of the constitutional in
addition, and that commission for year could

the legislative function. L. is neat question and
