No sane and sensible man expects that
perfect conditions ever viii maintain,
but improvements have been made and
will continue 70 be made. am hopeful
that the carriers will read the hand
writing on the wall OF the times and not
wait for the enactment Of a law 70 en-
force the performance of their every
plain duty. II however, legal force is
necessary IL viii be forthcoming. II
would be much better for the carrier TO
recognize the duties IL owes the people
and take them in its confidence. rather
than assume that the public Is It's enemy.
The advocates Of the present law
do not claim nor admit ;hat any new
principle has been enacted in this iegls-
latiOn. It is only an exercise by the
Federal Government of its constitu-
among the States in enforcing the old
common law doctrine that all rates and
regulations of common carriers shall be
just and reasonable. That has been the
right Of the Government and the law
Of the land since the Government was
formed and the railroad was born. Fed
eral control and regulation have not
always been exercised. but the power
has always been there. The develop
n1ent Of railroads IN all Of its complex
ties presents many difficulties TO con-
troll at the present time. but difficulties
do not furnish SUFFICIENT excuse for
failure 10 perform public duty.
North Carolina Case.
1.-The question Of Just what IS inter
state commerce IS one OF, considerable
Importance and the North Carolina rate
situation is an example in point.
1T is, 1 believe. generally conceded
BY constitutional lawyers that in
matters over which IT has control the
Federal Government is supreme. II can
exert that control on every foot Of the
domain within the jurisdiction Of the
Constitution. II knows no state lines
IN the exercise Of its power Inter
state commerce comprehends not only
the railroad or other carrier itself. but
all the men and instrumentalities en-
gagged in it. and when there is mix
ture OF confusion Of inter and intra-
state commerce the Federal control Is
supreme.
Nov. I am not familiar with the
wording OF the NORTH Carolina rate law,
but I DO know that the Atlantic Coast
Line and the Southern RailWay are en-
gagged in Interstate commerce. 1 am
sure that no train on either Of these
roads passes between any two places
either in or outside OF North Carolina
which does not carry freight or passen-
gers as interstate commerce. II this
Is true. the Federal authority extends

Suficient capital has been paid in and
subscribed now. said he, to assure the
establishment OF the first store Of the
guild. He continued: by next October
we shall have in operation a complete
and modern grocery and provision store
in some central down town location. We
have the capital necessary: we are now
considering the applications Of a num-
Der of men for the position OF manager,
and we have been offered several good
sites, so that no difficulty Is presented

"Of course. this will be only the first
step in the plans for the guild. If this
meets with the success that we predict

lieve it will. we shall then increase The
business from time TO time 10 include

ment store.
Not only have clerks in all OF the
departments indorsed the cooperative
scheme with their subscriptions, but
several Of the heads OF bureaus and
high of1cials have subscribed for The

dorsement as being one of the best
things. in their opinion. that has ever

Material benefits are already ac-

have asked bids from a number of local
coal dealers for supplying coai to all
the members of the guild In response

bids showing a substantial reduction
from the prevailing retail prices. This

Representative Charles E. Townsend,
of Jackson, Mich. joint author of the
Esch- To oWn6end bill. which was the
forerunner of the present railroad rate
law, and the member who was chosen
by the House Committee of Interstate
and Foreign Commerce TO lead the hght

House. has prepared a timely discus
sion Of the rate situation, with partic-
ular reference TO conditions IN North
Carolina and other States where there is
conflict between the State and Federal
authorities Mr.. Townsend says:
The railroad legislation Of the Fifty
ninth Congress has. during the short
period Of its existence. demonstrated its
necessity and. therefore, the wisdom OF
