FEDERAL CONTROL OF THE
RAILWAY RATES IMPOSSIBLE
Commissioner of Minnesota, in Report
10 National Association Of the Rail-
way Commissioners, Declares
Such a Move Would be
Unconstitutional.

Washington When the annual con-
vention of the National Association of
Railway Commissioners convened on
Friday for it's final session. the special
committee on safety appliances rec
commended congressional legislation to
compel railroads, both steam and cleo
trio, to protect their tracks by an
automatic signal system and urged the
several state legislatures to enact
laws along this line.
Charles f. Staples, commissioner of
Minnesota, presented the report on
Rates and Rate Making
The report said. The cases are rare
where a railroad of any Importance is
not an interstate road. This may be
argued as a reason for entire federal
control, something we believe to be
impossible without amending the con-
stitution. This we do believe the
states will concede until it is demon
strated that it is more practical than
experience has yet shown it to be.
There have been many rate reduc-

reductions on interstate traffic, and, so
far as we know, these have all been
brought about by the affirmative ac-
tion of the state authorities. So far as
we are advised, we know of no gen
eral reduction due to any action by
the federal authorities. We believe
the best interests of the people would
not be served by placing the entire
responsibility of rate control on the
federal government. We believe there
should be a much closer relationship
between the federal and state author
ities than seems to exist at present;
that in many matters a state commits.
