Opinion Of Southern Jurist.


In a recent letter from a learned judge
of the supreme court of one of the gulf
states, the writer speaks follows:
IN all matters pertaining TO interstate
commerce the authority of the national
government already exists and does not
have to be acquired, and the exercise of
the existing authority can be in no sense
a usurpation Of or infringement upon,
the rights of the states. On the contrary,
had the federal government given this
question more attention in the past and
applied vigorous check to corporate
abuses, conditions would now be better,
because the states would have had fewer
real or imaginary grievances and have
had less cause not only to attempt the
exercise of the authority reserved to the
national government, but to act without
proper moderation in matters peculiarly
within their own provinces The ma
tOnal government has been remiSS in the
past, but even at this late day it can
solve this problem, and the sooner the
national authority is exercised the less
apt are the states to take action which
Will represent encroachment upon the ma
tonal domain. There is a field of OPP
erations for both powers. and plenty alike
for national and state governments TO do
in order TO protect both the people and
the public utilities. The line of de-
marcatiOn between federal and state au-
thority can and should be speedily set
tied by the federal courts. The fact that
the national government has omitted to
exercise the authority conferred upon it
by the interstate commerce clause of the
constitution has made the states FESTIVE
under what they deem corporate abuses,
and in some cases has probably stimu-
lated them To go too far in the attempt
to correct these abuses. with the result
that all measures which they passed.
good or bad. have been held up by the
federal courts The equitable and Uni
form regulation cannot be obtained by
the separate action of the states. but
only by the affirmative action of the ma
tional government"

Common Law Inadequate.

The first course is to abandon all eff
fort to oversee and control their actions
in the interest of the general public and
to permit d return to the utter lack of
control which would obtain if they were
left to the common law. I do not for
one moment believe that our people would
tolerate this position. The extraordinary
growth of modern industrialism has rem
dered the common law, which grew up
under and was adapted to deal with to-
tally different conditions, in many re-
spects inadequate to deal with the new
conditions These new conditions make
il necessary to shackle cunning as in the
past We have shackled force. The vast
individual and corporate fortunes, the
vast combinations of capital. which have
marked the development of our industrial
system, create new conditions. and ne
cessitates change from the old attitude
of the state and the nation toward the
rules regulating the acquisition and I'M
trammeled business use of property. in
order both that property may be ade-
quately protected, and that at the same
time those who hold it may be prevented
from Wron gdoing.

Importance not from that portion of their
business which is intrastate, but from
the interstate business X is not easy al
ways 10 decide just where the line of de-
marcatiOn between the two kinds of bust
ness falls. This line must ultimately be
drawn by the federal courts. Much of
effort to secure adequate control of the
great corporations by state action has
been wise and effective, but much of 1t
has been neither; for when the effort is
made TO accomplish by the action of the
state what can only be accomplished by
the action of the nation, the result can
only be disappointing. and in the end the
law will probably be declared unconsti-
tutional. So, likewise. i'm the national
arena, we who believe in the measures
herein advocated are hampered and not
aided by the extremists who advocate ac-
ton so violent that it would either be
useless or else would cause more mis-
chief than it would remedy.

assembling. Under the existing laws

that they can be enforced against the

most powerful manager or manipulation
of that corporation, as vigorously and
fearlessly as against the humblest Of
fender. Above all, they have been en-
forced against the very wrongdoers and
agents of wrOngdOeTs who have for so
many years gone scot free and flouted
the laws with impunity; against great,
laW-defying corporations of immense
wealth which. until within the last half
dozen years. have treated themselves and
have expected others to treat them as
beyond and above all pussible check from
law.
It is especially necessary to secure to
the representatives of the national gov

corporations engaged in interstate COM
merce and. above ALL with the great
interstate common carriers. Our people
should clearly recognize. while there are
difficulties in any course of conduct to
be followed in dealing with these great

Federal Action Necessary.

The second and third courses are to
have the regulation undertaken either by
the nation or by the states. OF course,
in any event both the national govern
ment and the several state governments
must do each its part, and each can do
a certain amount that the other cannot
do, while the only really satisfactory re-
suits must be obtained by the represent
atives of the national and state govern
ments working heartily together within
their respective spheres. But in my
judgment thorOughgOing and satisfactory
control can in the end only be obtained
