ANOTHER vIND1CATION.

The Democratic national platform of
1908 contained this plank:
I'VE pledge the Democratic party to
the enactment of law to regulate, under
the jurisdiction of the interstate COM
merce commission, the rates and services
of telegraph and telephone companies
engaged in the transmission of messages
between the States"
The Republican platform had nothing
to say on this subject The Democrats
in the house, with the assistance of few
Republican insurgents, have forced an
amendment to the Wickersham railroad
bill embodying the provisions of the
Democratic plank above quoted
Such provision was not provided in
the administration draft Of the bill, nor
had President Taft recommended that
telegraph and telephone companies be
placed under the Jurisdiction of the inter
state commerce commission. The pas
sage OF such an amendment, therefore, is
something of slap at the administra-
ton. But it is another vindication OF
Democratic policies, and ali indication
that real reform in railroad and kindred
legislation can only be hoped for in the
present congress from the minority party.
