The Washington herald., 1907-03-06

Nothing could more emphatically
demonstrate the strange paths which we
arc ueading us a nation than the spec
tacle OF the Delegate from Porto Rico
addressing our House Of Representatives.
He is a member of that body. not under
any constitutional provision, but 10y
courtesy He represents what might be
called a dependent colony He is a part
of us, and yet he is not one of us. In
brief, he occupies a position which the
founders Of the government could not
have imagined in their widest dreams.
The nature of his appeal is, in itself, a
curious anomaly The inhabitants of
Porto Rico, freed by the intervention Of
the United States from the dominion Of
Spain, actually enjoy to-day less popu-
lar representation than under the Spanish
regime. Then they had sixteen full
hedged representatives in the Spanish
Cortes. who looked after the laws affect
ing Porto Rico, and through whose IN
strumentaHty fifty thousand slaves were
liberated. Under present conditions. the
Porto Ricans have no representation any
where save through a Commissioner in
the American Congress. who has no vote
and whose voice is heard only through
suferance. Not only this, but il seems
that the people of Porto Rico are gov
erned by an executive council appointed
by the President OF the United States
We are told that the rule of this coun-
ell is absolute and tyrannical" making
the laws, voting the taxes, and collecting
and eXpcnding the money without any
satisfaction being given TO the people Of
the island In one instance, il is stated
a gentleman landed at San Juan at 8
O'Clock i'm the evening. and at 8 o'clock
next morning had taken the oath Of office
and was making the laws, perhaps de-
Gliding, with his vote, very important
laws. when he had not practically seen
the face of a single Porto Rican."
Surely. this is a strange story TO fall
upon the ears of American Congressman.
II is only necessary 10 go back a century
or more and imagine a commissioner from
the dependent colony OF Massachusetts
Ettering his word Of protest to the Eng
hsh Parliament in order 10 appreciate
the full force of the present situation.
Somehow or other, our sympathies are
with these Porto Ricans. They may have
gained benefcent assimilation with this
great republic, but as a matter of fact.
they seem TO have also paid dearly foc
the privilege. They certainly have not
been blessed with prosperity since they
came under our flag. and they seem to
have been deprived Of the very boon OF
representation Tor which the American
colonies contendeG.
The appeal of the Commissioner from
Porto Rico on the floor of the House Il
Representatives, as printed in the Con-
gressionaI Record, is, We repeat, a curious
chapter in our political history. We await
the sequel TO that chapter with an in
terest that borders on the intense.

President c. S NIeuen. of the New
York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad.
is one of the few high transportation Off
cials of the country who avowedly sup
ported the Roosevelt rate-regulation pro-
gremme as originally enuuciated. Mr..
Mellen's position seems TO be clearer to-
day than it was last year.
In an address at New Haven the other
day he expressed what obviously is the
dominant thought and purpose of the rail
road managers. In public and i'm private, "
he said Il have always conceded the
need OF efficient regulation of railroad
corporations. There should be a tribunal
10 redress wrongs. Too much power is
rot TO be trusted to even successful and
admittedly able men. If there is to be
oppression, it must be by those we have
chosen and not by those chosen for us
Mr. Mellen then explained why he pre-
ferred his sort of regulation by the Fed
eral government to regulation by the
States-a position, by the way. which is
becoming suspiciously popular among
large corporation managers.
Nowhere in his address. however, did
Mr.. Mcllcn speak approvingly of rate reg
uiation. in point of fact he slurred this
most important phase Of the whole CUES
ton. just as other railroad managers. are
now doing. 1t seems to be their policy
TO ignore altogether what is supposed to
have been the primary object of the long
fight made by President Roosevelt at the
first session OF the Fifty-ninth Congress
1t cannot be denied that the thought then
uppermost in the Presidents mind. as il
was in the mind of everybody who SUD-
ported his contention. was that what was
most needed was an amendment TO the in
terstdte commerce law by which the Inter
state Commerce Commission would be
empowered to Iix and enforce fair rates.
This power was denied, or at least il was
granted in 60 tentative manner that
the commission has not yet seen tit to at
tempt TO exercise il. While the work of
exposure done by the commission within
the past few weeks at the Presidents di-
rection win result in good, It's benefits will
be helpful only To investors in railroad Sc
curities. It will neither fix nor regulate
rates Ii viii not. therefore. relieve the
business of the country Of the Stacking
