Colonel Pete Hepburn of Iowa was
one of the ablest debaters In the ma

twenty years. This is not an express

fact which all men conversant with
national affairs accept as they accept
Rxioms. But there was time when
Hepburn was obscure, and he went to
congress after an awful struggle with
Colonel Sapp, who had previously rep

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION.

HE REAlGASfAD sAOMIM1SO1ON.
There is and there has been for years
a Railroad Commission in the State OF
Louisiana. 1t is comprised of three
commissioners. It is presumed to be an
active body whose purpose is to protect
the interests of the people against the
arbitrary rulings Of railroads in unfair
discrimination and rating, but it has
been different in many respects. Be-
sides drawing their salaries with I'M
falling regularity, it would be interest
ing to know what the Commission has
accomplished.
For instance, the State Of Texas
through iSs>sffssaliiiiread Commission has
ssssiscfinilnated against Shreveport and
the State Of Louisiana, apd what has the
State Railroad Commission ever done
or said in protest? Possibly this Com
mission may have done wonders, but,
seemingly, what they have done has been
kept hidden under a bushel."
The headquarters of the Commission
Is Baton Rouge 1t is now proposed
that the Commission shall hold sessions
in New Orleans. Why not also in
Shreveport The assertion is ventured
that If the State Railroad Commission
were to come to Shreveport and hold a
session for a few days they would obtain
valuable information for their guidance
IN the future.
