the seveuty-two Of last year is certainly

We're l25 mob murders. or nearly twice as

Ship.subsidy Legislation.

President Roosevelt may well hesitate
TO send I'm that message urging upon Con-
gress the passage OF some sort Of ship

party is by no means unanimous in favor
Of the proposed legislation, and some
recent developments showing that the
trail Of a substantial portion Of the
Federal bounty 70 be distributed in sub
sides leads straight into the Hartman
camp are not likely to lend strength to
the ship-subsidy argument
There Is no pressing need of ships to

ter of the globe. Especially is this true

seems to be regarded as badly IN want

Sustaining the Tobacco Trust-

The decision rendered by Vice Chancellor
Pitney, in the Supreme Court Of New
Jersey. whereby the tobacco trust is sus-
tanned has peculiar interest in view OF
the efforts which are being made TO Sc
cure the dissolution of the oil trust, the
drug trust, the fertilizer trust, and sim
liar combinations
II is held in the decree that il the trust
should be dissolved incalculable injury
would be done 70 scores of innocent
stockholders. and the well-nigh i'm
possible task be presented Of revivify-
ing the old companies whose existence
was ended by the merger agreement. "
There is no doubt that this view of the
case is entitled to some consideration.
The old companies are practically out OF
existence. and it would be a difficult task
10 reorganize them and place them upon
working basis. Such an attempt would
in its execution. undoubtedly work a
hardship upon many stockholders.
At the same time. Vice Chancellor Pi,-
ney seems TO have overlooked the vital
question whether or not the trust was
created not only in disregard but in ac-
tual defiance Of the law. It may be that
the case as presented, being merely the
effort OF a minority stockholder in one
of the older companies TO be restored
again 10 that relation did not involve the
legal right OF the trust 10 exist Certainly
If that question had been involved, It
would have been difficult for the New
Jersey chancellor TO decide that the to-
bacco trust was not a conspiracy in re-
straint of trade. Should this question
come before the Supreme Court Of the
United States. it is likely that the decree
just rendered in New Jersey viii be
hardly worth the paper it is written upon
Surely, the Standard Oil trust and kindred
combinations present even more fragrant
violations Of the law than the Great
Northern merger. and yet every one
knows the view taken by the Supreme
Court in the latter case.
If We have reached a point in this coun-
try where a trust once formed is to be
eternally protected simply because it la.

Railroads and the Law.

Judge William J. Gaynor, addressing the
New Rochelle Forum Sunday. presented
some ideas on the railroad problem which
are not new, but which nevertheless are
interesting because Of the strength and
lucidity Of this upright jurist's pTesenta-
tion Of them.
Judge Gaynor's characterization Of the
rebate evil as the basest. the most das-
tardly crime Of our day and generation" Is
not overdrawn. and as a practical remedy
he suggests that the government appoint
the general freight agent Of every rail
road in the country. He would not have
the freight agent so appointed fix the
rates, out merely to see 10 it that the
rate TO every shipper was the same
Under the interstate commerce act. as
modified by the Elkins rebate law and
the rate Legislation enacted at the last
session Of Congress, the government now
IN intent if not in effect, has set a gen
eUsl freight agent over every railroad ir
the nation. One Of the chief functions OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission Is
TO prevent rebates, or, in other words, tc
do exactly what Judge GaynOr would
have the general freight agents appointed
by the government 20 do. Indeed, the
power OF the commission Is even much
more extensive than the mere guarding
against rebates. It is empowered te-de-
termine what is a fair and remunerativt
rate" subject 10 the review Of the
courts.
As IS well known, the original conten,
ton Of the supporters of the latest amend
ment to the interstate commerce law was
that the findings Of the commission in the
matter Of "a fair and remunerative rate
should be final and not subject to Judicial
interference. except. Of course. in sucf

Upon this point issue was joined at tn,

When a specific provision for court review
was put into the law, the Interstate Com
merce Commission was left almost az

aetment was put upon the statutes. tn,
