PRESIDENT TAFT GETS A "rIp.
How to Make Interstate Commerce Law
just

JUST.
Attorney H. M. Stephens, represent.
ing shippers of interior cities, accom-.
panied by Senator Jones and Repre-
sentative Poindexter, had five minute
talk with President Taft recently, and
Mr.. Stephens presented suggestions rel.
alive to amendments to the interstate
commerce law.
President Taft listened attentively to
Mr.. Stephens, and at the conclusion of
his remarks said it would greatly please
him to have the entire subject presented
at greater length in November.
Briefly, Mr.. Stephens argument
would be to put the shipper on a par
with railroad companies in their given
right of appeal to circuit courts over
decisions of the interstate commerce
commission affecting rates.
As the law now stands railroad com.
panies can go into the courts of the
United States and ask for an iniunc,
ton against orders of the commission.
The shipper is denied this right. In
principle it is contended there can be
no possible difference between shipper
and common carrier, and it is to put
both upon square and equal basis
that Stephens contends.

WESTINGHOUSE NEW CODE.
Many Complications Surely to Arise
Over New Laws.

| Over New Laws.
Advocates of anarchy, defined as a
doctrine that organized government
should be overthrow by force of vic.
lence or the assassination of the execu-
tive head or any Of the executive off
Gals Of government or by any unlaw-
full means, must carefully edit their
mouth-filling phrases for public utter
ances in the state Of Washington, if
they desire to keep clear of prison
cells. The new criminal code, now in
operation, designates the espousal of
the doctrine felony, punishable by
Imprisonment in the penitentiary for
any period up to 10 years.
There are numerous important
changes in the law, including the aboli-
ton Of the compulsory death sentence
for murder in the first degree and
giving the court discretionary power
to sentence to imprisonment for life.
There is also the establishment of a
new degree of crimes known as gross
misdemeanors, which includes "graft-
ing punishable by Imprisonment in
the county Jail for not more than a
year or fine up to $1,000, or both
Insanity is no defense in criminal
cases; but it is provided that when, in
the judgment of the court, any person
convicted shall have been insane, an
idiot or an imbecile at the time of the
commission of the act, he may be COM
mitted to a hospital for the insane or
to the insane ward of the penitentiary
until he has recovered.
The code forbids clipping" and
having possession of cigarettes or
papers, and, though it is specified that
"every provision shall be construed
according to the fair import of its
terms,'' the foremost criminal lawyers
in the state declare it will cause much
confusion and in numerous instances
it will compel good citizens to become
lawbreakers.
