The popular impression of the railroad
rate law, which has now been in force
about fifteen months. is that it was in
tended to provide means for the reduction
of freight charges-an impression that
was given some encouragement by Presi-
dent Roosevetts rather bOastful assertion
a year ago that the immediate effect Of
the law was the fling Of thousands Of
tariffs nearly all reducing rates. But the
tide has turned. and the rates filed now
adays are as a rule higher than before
In his Boston speech, Mr.. Taft said in de-
Tense Of the rate bill that it had no effect
whatever on the earnings Of the railroads
because rates had been generally in
creased. under circumstances iustifying
an increase.
What, then, has been accomplished by
the rate bill? The annual report Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission at
tempts an answer to this question by
saying that its indirect and unperceived
effects have been very great There have
been readjustment Of rates and correc-
ton of abuses by the railroads themselves

in good faith and having shown a dispo-
siti0n to conform their methods to its re-
quirements Methods and usages of one
sort and another which operated to indi-
viduaI advantage have been voluntarily

too much to say that there is now free
dom from forbidden Determinations which
is actual and general to a degree never
before approached" A distinct advance
has been made ia placing competing ship
pers on a basis of equality in the enjoy
ment of service. offensive practices Of
all sorts have been diminished The law,

sity of resorting TO legal enforcement.
But as to the matter of rates, the COM
mission confesses that its powers are
somewhat less than they ought to be 1t

ness, and specifically calls the attention
Of Congress to its pOwerlessness in this
regard The commission thinks that il
should have authority TO prohibit an in
crease in rates until a determination Of
the complaint as to the increase may be
had. An asgrieved shipper may indeed
obtain from the courts an injunction
against an advance in rates. but the in
junction does not help other shippers
who may continue TO pay the advance
As the railroads stilI have the power to
initiate rates, the shipper Is largely at
their mercy, for it is a long and tedious
process 10 obtain a correction of rates
through the instrumentality of the Com
merce Commission.
Although the commission particularly
stresses its recommendation for an in

doubtful if Congress viii undertake any

In discussing an editorial in the Chi

iynchngs during the year just past as
compared with the year before, the
Columbia State shows that at least two
alleged iynchings included in the 1901
statistics never occurred ar all-that is 90

simple. while the other concerned a negro
who was killed while resisting arrest.
and not after his arrest had been effected.
Indeed. the State contends, and proves,
that there were no lynchings in south
Carolina last year.

this is interesting. 10 be sure. but that
