come see him in the Jungle and get
acquainted with all the other lions.
The side show promises to have an
entirely new bill, and will be better
than ever. The merry -go-round will
be the best flying machine you have

for the purpose. If the days be cool
get piping hot luncheon or supper
of all the delicacies of the season,
which you may be assured will be all
right. Music will be there all the
time, and fun and refreshment for
mind and body. All steps lead to
the school ground on those days.
Mark them with red ink on your
calendar SO you will not forget, for
they are sure to be red letter days.
Look out for the parade in the morn
ing of the Fourth and our honored
guest, the Governor of the State in

bestirring herself to make the Fair
this year the best ever; what are
you willing to do?

the appointment of five additional circuit
judges, who, for the purposes Of appoint
ment, might be distributed to those cir
cults where there is at the present time
the largest volume of business, such as the
Second, Third, Fourth, Seventh and Eighth
circuits.
THE act should empower the chief JUS
tice at any time when the business of the
court of does not require the
services of all the judges to reassign the
judges designated to that court to the cir
cults to which they respectively belong;
and 1t should also provide for payment to
such judges while sitting by assignment
in the court Of of such addi-
tional amount as is necessary to bring
their annual compensation up to $10,0 900.
The regular sessions of such court should
be held at the capital, but 1t should be
empowered TO hold sessions in different
parts OF the United States If found desir-
able; and its orders and judgments should
be made final, subject only to review by
the supreme court of the United States
with the provision that the operation OF
the decree appealed from shall not be

order.
Restraining Orders After Hearing.
"The court should be en-
powered in its discretion to restrain or sus-
pend the operation of an order of the
Interstate commission under re-
view pending the final hearing and deter
, mination Of the proceeding, but no such
restraining order should be made except
upon notice and after hearing, unless in
cases where irreparabie damage would
otherwise ensue to the petitioner. A judge
OF that court might be empowered to allow
a stay OF the commissions order for q
period of not more than sixty days. buI

order shall contain a specific finding based

Pooling Rate Agreements.
1.-The subject of agreements between car
riers with respect to rates has been often
discussed in congress. Pooling arrange
ments and agreements were condemned by
the general sentiment of the people and,
under the Sherman antitrust law, any
agreement between carriers operating in
restraint OF interstate or international
trade or commerce would be unlawful.
The republican platform of 1906 expressed
the belief that the interstate m
law should be further amended. so as to
give the railroads the right to make and
publish traffic agreements subject to the
approval of the commission, but maintain
ing always the principle of competition be-
tween naturally competing lines and avoid
ing the common control of such lines by
any means whatsoever.
I'm view OF the complete control over
rate making and other practices of inter.
state carriers established by the act OF
congress and as recommended in this COM
munication, 1 SEQ no reason why agree
ments between carriers subject to the act
specifying the classifications of freight
and the rates, and charges for transpor-
tation of passengers and freight which
they may agree to establish, should not
be permitted, provided copies of such
agreements be promptly filed with the COM
mission, but subject to all provisions of the
interstate commerce act and subject to the
right OF any parties to such agreement
to cancel 1t as to all or any Of the agreed
rates, fares, charges, or classifications by
thirty days notice in writing to the other
parties and to the commission.
Carriers to quote Legal Rate.
Much complaint is made by shippers
over the state of the law under which they
are held bound to know the legal rate ap-
plicable to any proposed shipment, without,
as a matter of fact, having any certain
means OF actually ascertaining such rate
1t has been suggested that to meet this
grievance carriers should be required, upor
application by a shipper, to quote the lega.
rate in writing, and that the shipper should
be protected in acting upon the rate thu,
quoted; but the objection to this suggestion
is that it would afford a much too easy
method Of giving to favored shippers un
reasonable preferences and rebates.
Il think that the law should provide tina
a carrier, upon written request by an In
tending shipper, should quote in writinI
the rate or charge applicable to the pro
posed shipment under any schedules o
tariffs to which the carrier is a party. an,
that II the party making such reques
suffer damage in consequence OF either re
fusal or omission to quote the proper rate
or in consequence OF a mlsstatement OF tn
rate, the carrier shall be liable 10 a penalt,
In some reasonable amount, say $3.50, I
accrue to the United States and to be re
covered in a civil action brought by IN
appropriate district attorney. Such a pen
atty would compel the agent Of the carrie
Omaha daily bee., 1910-01-08

such routes as he may designate for that
purpose, subject, however, in the exercise
of this right, to such reasonable regulations
as the Interstate Commerce commission
may prescribe.
Control of Competing Lines.
THE republican platform of 1908 declared
In favor Of amending the Interstate Com
merce law, but 80 as always to maintain
the principle Of competition between ma
turally competing lines, and avoiding the
common control Of such lines by any means
whatsoever. one of the most potent means
of exercising such interest has been
through the holding of stock of one rail-
road company by another company owning
a competing line. This condition has grown
up under express legislative power conferred
by the laws of many other states and to at
tempt now to suddenly reverse that policy,
80 far as 1t affects the ownership of stocks
heretofore so acquired, would be to in
flict a grievous injury, not only upon
the corporations affected, but upon a
large body of the MISUNDERSTANDING pub
lie. 1, however, recommend that the law
shall be amended so as to provide from
and after the date Of Its passage, no rail-
road company subject to the interstate
commerce act shall directly or indirectly,
dAHAllt MY tbAb VI any WIZ III tdDl-
tai stock, or shall purchase or lease any
railroad or any other corporation which
completes with It, respecting business to
/ which the interstate commerce act applies.
But especially for the protection OF the
minority stockholders in securing to them
the best market for their stock / recon-
mend that such prohibition be coupled with
a proyiso that 1t shall not operate to pre-
vent any corporation which at the date
Of the passage of such act, shall own not
less than one-half Of the entire stock Is
sued and outstanding capital stock OF any
other railroad company, from acquiring
all or the remainder OF such stock, or to
prohibit any railroad company which at
the date Of the enactment Of the law is
operating a railroad Of any other corpora
ton under lease, executed for a term Of
not less than twenty-five years, from ac-
curing the reversionary ownership Of the
demised railroad; but that such provisions
shall not operate to authorize or validate
the acquisition, through stock ownership
or otherwise, Of a competing line or inter-
est therein in violation of the antitrust or
any other law.
OverIssue of stocks.
The republican platform Of 1908 further
declares in favor OF such national leglsla-
ton and supervision as win prevent the
future overissue Of stocks and bonds by
Interstate carriers, and in order to carry
out It's provisions, I the enact
ment OF a law providing that no railroad
corporation subject TO the interstate COM
merce act shall hereafter for any purpose
connected with or relating 70 any part OF
It's business governed by said act, issue any
capital stock without previous or slmultane-
GUS payment 20 II OF not less than the par
value Of such stock, or any bonds or other
obligations Except notes maturing not more
