NO INCONSISTENCY op-
ponents of the administrations railroad
policy are now seeking TO show incon-
sistency between the provision for tariff
agreements contained in the interstate COM
merce bill and the action Of the admins
tration in instituting proceedings against
the Western association. To make any such
showing il is. OF course, necessary to
ignore OF at least to gloss over the pro-
vision of the bill that such agreements
should be subject TO the approval of the
Interstate Commerce Commission This
administra ton believes. as did the last. that
traffic agreements are advisable. and prob
ably inevitable, and that II is the part of
wisdom to recognize that fact and make
them legal when made with the approval
Of the commission. But while that is the
position OF the administration, there is
nothing in that position inconsistent with
the contention that agreements made with
out the approval of the commission and in
clear violation Of the legislative statutes
must be prosecuted. There is no doubt
the railroads will find their own interests
conserved, in that they will know just
where they stand. by the legalization of
such agreements with proper supervision
and that at the same time the interests Of
the shippers will be conserved by the au-
thorization of such agreements with proper
safeguards But the insurgents in their
wisdom have seen fit 70 prevent such Iegis-
laJiOn at this session. and. that being the
case. the administration will deem It it's
duty TO prosecute all such violations OF the
Sherman law as that alleged in the Western
Traffic Association case.

RAILROAD PROSECUTION-The is a
vast amount of unmitigated nonsense being
printed regarding the attitude of the ad-
ministrstion toward the railroads and traf-
fc agreements. Railroad executives who
have not hesitated to violate the prohibit
tions Of the Sherman antitrust law in the
most fragrant manner are seeking TO ex
cite sympathy by representing the admin
istration as inconsistent and tyrannical,
while brokers who make commissions
comm and goin' " have seized upon the
injunction against the Western Traffic AS
soeistion TO throw a scare" into specula-
tors and investors, all of which is making
business brisk for the first time in a long
while even if It is hammering the market.
incidentally, perhaps. the men who fear
their dividends may be curtailed by the
course Of the administra ton are selling
short. that in the end they may not be out
of pocket. Shorn of the wild exaggeration
which has followed the application for and
the securing of the injunction against the
Western association, the policy of the ad
mnistration remains unchanged. Its atti-
tude is perfectly consistent. It purposes
TO prosecute any clear violations Of the leg
islative statutes to construe those statutes
with it's wonted liberality. and TO urge leg
islation which will render traffic agree
ments under adequate federal supervision
lawful The prosecution of the Western asso-
citation does not mean that every other traf-
fic association is TO be prosecuted nor that
every railroad which increases its rates
will be made a defendant in a federal suit.
These are facts. They may not be sensa-
tional facts, and they may make less in
teresting reading than some of the dis
patches which have found their way into
print since Monday, but any one interested
in the market and not anxious to play the
role Of lamb would do well 10 weigh what
is here asserted.

Passage Of Law, Not Reform.

"Superfcially considered" continued the
Governor, 1T may appear TO many that our
problems relate to legislative proposals. but
no legislative scheme amounts to anything
save as its good results are made possible
through efficient administration. One OF
our failings is that we so frequently sup
pose that the passage Of law has accom-
pHshed a reform, whereas the passage OF
law for given thing has merely given the
opportunity TO secure the enforcement de-
sired. and whether or not that opportunity
will be availed of must depend upon the
character and efficiency of the men VINO
are called upon to administer the law"

Commissioners began its third biennial ses-

Object of Civil. Service Law.

'',The object of the Civil Service law is not
TO have offices recruited simply through
men who have been selected by examina-
ton The object is TO have men there who
are qualified for their work; TO have them
tested by means when will show their
qualifications by examinations which will
deal with the particular subjects that they
have TO deal with: by examinations which
will show that in their. experience and in
telligence and education they know some
thing about the matters which they will be
called upon officially TO transact
"It is regrettable thing that we have
this method in so few states. I hope this
association will give a great impetus 10

people OF this country are absolutely tired
of having public offices and public husi-
