COALROADS ANSWER.

The coal roads have filed their an
swer to the complaint of the govern
ment in the suit to enforce the com
modify clause of the rate control law
which prohibited common carriers
from producing that which they trans
ported. The provision grew out of
the monopoly which the anthracite
roads, especially, had secured in the
production and transportation of coal
and their suppression of competition.
The practice of owning the coal depos-
its had reached intersections. The act
was but a Legislative statement of the
doctrine of ultra wires, the engaging
by corporation in business other
than that for which it was incorporat-
ed.
Though congress deferred for two
years the operation of the law so as to
give the railroad companies ample
time to divest themselves of their coal
properties the period elapsed with
nothing done. The act carried heavy
penalties for it's violation but the
companies seemed willing to risk
these rather than surrender their
monopoly. 1t was finally agreed
with the department of Justice to
suspend the penalties pending the
suits, tenderness to which the rail
roads, especially the anthracite roads,
have never shown themselves entitled.
The answers are virtually demurrers
on the ground of the invalidity of the
law There are several grounds set
forth. The act does not assume to
regulate, which is all the power con-
gress has, but to prohibit, a power not
granted. 1t takes the property of the
defendants without due process of law
and without compensation. Its dis
ordinations make it class legislation.
The penalties are excessive, contraven
ing the constitution. The answer of
the Pennsylvania company goes farth-
er and declares that the effect of the
act would be detrimental TO the public
in other states because its enforcement
would deprive them of the coal, the
intimation being that that company
would hold its mines and confne OPP
erations to the borders of Pennsylva-
MA.
The railroads, by this complaisance
of the attorney general, will continue
their two-fold operations of mining
and transporting coal during the
years in which the suits will traverse
back and forth the paths that lead
from court TO court, and, meanwhile,
the public will continue to pay the
prices for coal which the christian
gentlemen" the Baers, custodians by
grant of the Almighty of the property
may graciously fix.-Sioux City Trib-
une.

WILLIAM H. TAFT was nominated
for the presidency by the republicans
a long time ago, and the national con-
vention last week ratified the nomi-
nation on the first ballot. Taft was
way and far the best man to come be-
fore the convention as candidate and
his nomination is giving universal
satisfaction to republicans. AS to
the nomination for vice president
that was given as sop to New York
and Congressman Sherman was nam
ed for the place. 1t may have been
necessary to do this to hold New York
in line, but western republicans were
entitled to the place. Iowa had two
good men, Dolliver, of the standpat-
ters, and Cummins, of the progress
sives, either one of whom would have
suited the western republicans, and
either one of whom are far more
prominent as republican leaders and
statesman than the gentleman from
New York.

This is record of efficiency. Ad-

unusual capability. Taft is careful,

to him as something to be carried,
work as something to be done. He is
a straight ahead kind of man. He is
not given to tripping himself and this
means he is not in the habit of turn
ing corners quickly. He has appeal
ed to President Roosevelt's admira-

of the square, as one who concurs in
the belief that it is not necessary to
ruin big business in order to protect
