FoRTIFY RATE LAWS
COMMERCE. AND COMMON CAR
RIER COMMITTEES ACTS.
One Of First BilIs would Repeal Bin
which Last Extra Session
Paused To Enforce Rate
Bills.

The favorably reported bills of the
House of Representatives from the
committee on commerce and common
carriers. indicate that the state is
endeavoring to fortify Its case pending
In the Federal courts against the rail-
roads which have fought the rate laws.
There have been introduced by Mr..
Long, of Butler. half dozen or more
bills amending or repeating certain
acts of the last Legislature which i'm
posed fearful penalties on the roads
for violations of the laws.
One Of the first to be introduced
In the House was q bill to repeal the
laws which at the extra session OF the
Legislature In 1907 shore the Rail-
road Commission and certain officials
Of the state of the power to act for
the state In securing enforcement of
the law-made rates or procuring their
benefits to. shippers-all for the pur-
pose of sustaining the states conten-
ton that the injunction proceedings
Of the roads were suit against the
state. Seeing that this demurrer was
falling, 1t Is pointed out, the powers
Of the Commission are to be restored
and they will have a voice hereafter
in sliding up and down the rate
schedules in Alabama.
But to conform to the. Minnesota
decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States the Legislature Is now
being urged by the Governor to repeal
those acts which purported to burden
the railroads with penalties aggregat-
ing Into the millions for violation of
provisions preventing roads from deny
ing admission to the station gates and
passenger cars when passengers offer
ed to agents the fare fixed by statute
Most ,of the legislation. as pointed
out by members sof the House. seems
not to be q let-up on the fight against
the railroads. 1t Is said that nothing
OF the kind Is expected from the
present legislature. One of the latest
efforts to increase the expenses of
railroads is to compel them to clear
their rights of way of all rubbish
which might ignite from a spark and
TO keep the right of way cleared.
Also stringent regulations requiring
new spark equipment are promised.

do not like to be prevented from cut

Lincoln Was For Prohibition
In 1858.

In view of the widespread inter
est taken by America in prohibition,
Mr.. Lincolh's views on this subject,
as long ago as 1853, command more
than passing notice. In a speech
delivered by him at Springfield,
Illinois, Mr.. Lincoln said:
''The liquor traffic is a cancer in
society, eating out its vitals and
threatening destruction, and all at
tempts to regulate it will not only
prove abortive, but will also ag-
gravate the evil. If the prohibition
of slavery is good for the black
man, the prohibition of the liquor
traffic is equally good and constitu-
tional for the white man.
"There must be no more attempts
to regulate the cancer; it must be
eradicated; for, until this is done,
all classes must continue exposed to
become the victims of strong drink
THE most effectual remedy
would be the passage of law al
together abolishingt the liquor
traffic. ~
Law must protect and conserve
right things, and if there is any
evil in the land that threatens So
ciety or individuals more than an
other, it is the liquor traffic.
