ADOPTS UNIFORM
DEMURRAGE RULES
Indiana Railroad Commission
Takes Initiative in Imports
ant Step
Especial Dispoich 10 The Call

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, jan 6-The
railroad commission of Indiana took
the initiative today in adopting the
uniform demurrage rules of the ma
tional committee on uniform demur-
rage. 1t is considered in many ways
the most important step taken in rail-
road matters in a number of years, as
it clears up a question that has caused
more controversy between railroads
and shippers than any other in their
relations.
The national committee was headed
by Lane of the interstate commerce
commission, and one railroad commits
sioner from every state was included
in the membership. Exhaustive hear
ings and discussions of the matter
were held.
The only protest uttered today was
from General Counsel Field of the Mo-
non railroad, who asked that the entry
of the order be postponed until the
general manager of the Monon should
have had an opportunity to confer
with the commission. Judge Wood,
chairman of the commission, granted
the hearing, but stated that the order
would be entered and that 1T would not
be affected by the conference.
Judge Wood did not believe that there
was any need to reopen the discussion
of the rules. The rules will become ef-
fectiYe on March 1.

jury as a bay pirate was convicted
of grand larceny in Judge Lawlor's
court yesterday. He stole 35 cans of

broken down. During the night they
left with the launch and the salmon
was missing next morning. A search
of Anderson's house was made and
canned salmon found in the loft. Bro

Way Clear for

Regulation


utacture, trade and commerce. This
country shows A power of economical
world and has enabled US TO compete
with foreign manufactures in many
markets. II should be the care Of the
government to permit such cOncen-
tration OF capital while keeping open
the avenues Of individual enterprise
and the opportunity for man or cor
poratlon with reasonable capital to en-
gage in business. il we would main
tain our present business supremacy
we should give TO industrial concerns
q p opportunity 10 recognize and to con-
centrate their legitimate capital in a
federal corporation and to carry on
their large business within the lines OF
The law
Second. there are those who douht
the constitutionaity of such federal
lncorp pOratiOn. The regulation Of in
terstate and foreign commerce is Ger
tainly conferred in the fullest meas
IRE upon congress. and If for the pur-
pose of securing in the most thorough
manner mat kind of regulation con-
gress shall insist that il may provide
and authorize certain agencies to carry
on that commerce. il would seem to
be within its power.
This has been distinctly affirmed
win respect to railroad companies
doing an interstate business. and in
JerState bridges. The power Of in
corporation has been exercised by con-
gress and upheld by the supreme court
in this regard Why, then, with re
spect to any other form of interstate
commerce, like the sale of goods
across state boundaries and into
foreign commerce. may the same
power not be asserted Indeed, it is
the very fact that they carry on in
terstate commerce that makes these
great industrial concerns subject to
federal prosecution and control
How far. as incidental to the carry
ing on Of that commerce. il may be
within the power OF the. federal gov
erument 10 authorize the manufacture
of goods. is perhaps open TO discussion.

States Rights

dency 10 the enlargement of the
federal power at the expense of the
power of the states. II is A sufficient
answer 10 this argument TO say that
no other method can be suggested
which offers federal protection on the
one hand and close federal supervision
on the other. Of these great organiza-
tions that are in fact federal, because
they are as wide as the country and
are entirely unlimited in their bust
ness by state lines. Nor is the cen
tralization OF federal power under this
act likely TO be excessive. Only the
largest corporations would avail them
selves Of such a law, because the bur
den Of complete federal supervision
and control that must certainly be
imposed to accomplish the purpose Of
the Incorporation would not be ac-
cepted by an ordinary business con-
cern.
The third OBJ bjection-that the worst
offenders viii not accept federal incor-
poratiOn-is easily answered The de-
crees Of injunction recently adopted in
prosecutions under the antitrust law
are so thorough and sweeping that the
