The legal departments OF the differ
ent railroads in the United States have
lust as many opinions about the cor
rect Interpretation of the interstate
commerce law as there are lawyers,
and the lawyers. after thresning the
subject over among themselves. are
unable to agree For this there are
undoubtedly two causes. One is that
the new law was drawn by men who
had only a vague idea of what they
were going after, and were without
experience whatever in the railroad
business. This would not have been
so bad, but the majority were not even
business men. with knowledge of trans
portation of freight and passengers.
The result is a loose-drawn law that
has brought into its meshes many peo-
pie and many matters which the
trainers had never anticipated The
second and most interesting reason,
and related to the first to a certain
extent. is the fact that traffic men are
not lawyers and lawyers are not traffic
men. Each lawyer sees the case as it
is presented before him by the traffic
men, and as he is not familiar with
the business, the degree of exactness
and the point or view of the traffic
man affects his advice on the legal
side On the other hand. the traffic
man did not know even the priciples
of construction of the law and was
unable to present his case so that all
of its legal details would stick out
plainly before the eyes of the at
torney.

EARTHQUAKES-Walter Street, City.
Ihere is no place in the world that
is immune from earthquakes. There
is no locality where earthquakes are
continuous. In Japan and some parts
of South America they are of frequent
occurrence. The one in April last was
a severe one, but there have been more
severe ones, notably the one in Lis
bon, November l. 1955, which lasted
about eight minutes, destroyed most of
the houses and caused the death of
about $4,000 inhabitants The exact
amount of the damage by the earth
quake in San Francisco will never be
known, as the confiagration which fol-
lowed prevented the possibility of form
ing an estimate of the damage by the
