RULES AGAINST COMMISSION
Judge Hanford Says They Do Not
Have Power.

Judge Hanford Says They Do Not
Have Power.
Olympia, Wash, Feb. 17.-"No mat.
ter what the final outcome OF the de-
cision of United States Judge C. H.
Hanford that the railroad commission
cannot fix rates, the great work of
the commission will remain for prac-
tical use," declared Commissioner John
G. Lawrence, this evening.
1.-The data gathered by the commits
sion as to the value of railroad prop
erty in the state, and evidence had at
all the hearings, all will be well worth
their cost for the use of the legislature
if it finally has to fix the rates, or for
the commission, should the commits
sion's power be finally sustained.
THE many thousands of dollars the
state has spent in securing this data
and in these hearings will not be lost
in any event.
And even under the decision the
commission is not prevented from con-
tinuing its work to determine the cost
and value of railroad property, the
reasonableness of rates, or any other
line of proper investigation.
Chairman Harry Fairchild of the
commission, said: 1.-THE member OF
the commission are in consultation
with the governor and it's legal adj
wiser regarding the future procedure
under the decision. We shall prepare
and give out public statement early
in the week, as soon as our plans are
determined upon"
Governor Mead has not determined
upon the question of calling a special
session. He is in consultation with
prominent citizens of different parts OF
the state, seeking to learn what the
people of the state desire. 1t is point
ed out that if the matter is left to the
next legislature, which meets in 1909
it will be nearly two years before the
constitutional amendment can be voted
on at a regular election and become
effective, while if a special session is
called the amendment can be voted on
this fall, thus saving two years.
