RAILROAD CHARGES.

i I'D = De- ( I'll
The railroads appear to have been
fortunate In the courts in which the re-
& cent rate-lnws of various States have
been passed upon. These laws, 1t may
be recalled. enacted n two-cent per
mile local passenger rate as the maxi
mum that might be charged by the
Z roads operating within their borders.
The. higher courts, in passing upon
these laws. have uniformly decided
that they are unconstitutional, since
the two-cent rate Is held to be con-
hscatory Of the property of the rail-
roads.
These decisions raise anew the ques-
ton as to the advisabllIty of Il railroad
commission In this State We have on
former occasions pointed out the fact
that such commission could deal only
with rates wholly within the state:
and, since this item of the freight bust
ness. for example. constitutes so small
a part--about six per ccnt-of the total
freightagc, the question of such n conf
mission necessitatcs the consideration
of another question, viz: whether the
"ork Oh commission. OF necessity
confined to so small proportion OF the
!. business, would be worth while the cost

In the matter of charges charged for

roads, ut least, have made showing
