doubted how effective this remedy is.
Customers Finally Pay Bill.
Experience has shown that many, per-
haps most, shippers do not resort to pro-
ceedings to recover the excessive rates
which they may have been required to pay,
for the simple reason that they have added
their rates paid to the cost of the goods
and thus enhanced the price thereof to
their customers, and that the public has
in effect paid the bill. On the other hand,
the enormous volume of transportation
charges, the great number Of separate
tariffs filed annually with the Interstate
Commerce commission, amounting to al
most 200. 900, and the impossib!lity Of n
commission supervising the making of
tariffs in advance Of their becoming effec-
tive on every transportation line within
the United States to the extent that would
be necessary II their active concurrence
were required in the making Of every
tariff, has satisfied me that this power, II
granted, should be conferred in a very
limited and restricted form.
II therefore recommend that the Inter

WASHINGTON, Jan. Following is the
text Of the presidents special message on
the Interstate and Antitrust
laws submitted in both houses of congress
today:
ITO the Senate and House of, Representa-
tives:
Il withheld from my annual message a
discussion OF needed legislation under the
authority, which congress has to regulate
between the states and with
foreign countries and said tina l would
bring this subject matter to your atten-
ton later in the session. Accordingly, l beg
TO submit to you certain recommended
lions as to the amendments to the inter
state commerce law and certain consider
atoms arising out of the operations of the
ANTITRUST suggesting the wisdom Of federal
kncofporation Of industrial companies.
Interstate Commerce Law.
!, Mn the annual report of the Interstate
m Commission for the year 1908,
attention is called to the fact that be-
tween July l, 1908, and the close Of that
year, sixteen suits had been begun to SET
aside orders of the commission (besides one
commenced before that date, and that few
orders Of much consequence had been per
mitted to go without protest; that the
questions presented by these various suits
were Fundamental, as the constitutionality
\ of the act itself was an issue and the
right OF congress to delegate to any trib'
Nal authority to establish an interstate
Ne was denied; but that perhaps the mosi
pus practical question raised concerned

"Of %course. every carrier affected by an
order of the commission has a constitu-
right to appeal to a federal court
to protect 1t from the enforcement of an
order which it shows to be prime facie
confiscatory or unjustly discriminatory in
its effect; and as this application may be
to a court in any district of the
United States, not only does delay result
in the enforcement of the order, but great
uncertainty is caused by contrar.ety OF
decision.
The questions presented by these ap-
plications are too often technical in their
character and require a knowledge OF the
business and the mastery Of a great
volume of conflicting evidence which Is
tedious to examine and troublesome to
comprehend. 1t would not be proper to at
tempt to deprive any corporation of the
right to the review by a court of any order
or decree which, II undisturbed, would
rob 1t OF o reasonable return upon its
investment or would subject 1t to bur-
dens which would unjustly discriminate
against it and in favor of other carriers
similarly situated. What is, however, of
supreme Importance is that the decision
of such questions shall be as speedy as
the nature Of the circumstances will admit,
and that a uniformity Of decision be Sc
cured, so as to bring about an effective,
systematic and scientific enforcement of
the law, rather than conflicting
decisions and uncertainty of final result.
FRvOrs Court of Commerce
For this purpose l recommend the es-
adjustment Of n court Of the United
States composed Of five judges designated
for such purpose from among the circuit
judges Of the United States, to be known
as the United States court OF commerce,
which court shall be clothed with exclusive
original jurisdiction over the following
classes of cases:
Il. All cases for the enforcement, other.
wise than by adjudication and collection
Of a forfeiture or penalty, or by inflictior
Of criminal punishment, OF an order OF tn,
Interstate Commerce Commission Other
than for the payment OF money.
20. All cases brought to enjoin, set aside
annul or suspend any order or Requirement
OF the Interstate Commerce Commission.
g. All such cases as under section 3 o
OF the act Of February 10, 1903, known a.
the 'Elkins act are authorized to be main
tanned in a circuit court of the UniteC
States.
"a All such mandamus proceedings a
under the provision OF section 20 or section
% OF the interstate law ar
authorized to be maintained in a circui
court OF the United States.
Reasons precisely analogous to thos
which induced the congress to create tn
court Of customs appeals by the provision
in the tariff act CT August 3, 1903. may b
urged in support OF the creation OF tn
commerce court.

Initiative by Commission.
Under the existing law the commission
can only act with respect to an alleged ex-
cessive rate or unduly discriminatory prac-
tice by a carrier on a complaint made by
some Individual affected thereby. 1 see nc
reason why the commission should not be
authorized to act on it's own initiative as
well as upon the complaint of an individual
in investigating the fairness of any exist
ing rate or practice, and 1 recommend the
amendment of the law to so provide; and
also that the commission shall be fully en-
powered, beyond any question, to pass
upon the c~lassifications Of commodities
for purposes of fixing rates, in like manner
as 1t may now do with respect to the maxi
mum rate applicable to any transportation
Under the existing law the commission
may not investigate an increase in rates
until after it shall have become effective
and although one or more carriers ma
file with the commission a proposed in
crease in rates or change in classifications
or other alterations Of the existing rates
or classifications, to become effective a.
the, expiration Of thirty days from sucf
filing, nc proceeding can be taken to IN
vestlgate the reasonablness Of such pro-
posed changes until after 1t becomes OPP
erative. On the other hand, If the COM

1T has, therefore been suggested tha'

at once to enter upon an investigation OF
the -easonableness Of the increase and &c
make an order postponing the effective
date OF such Increase until after sucf

The Wfn.e

The superintendent of a Western mine in driving a. tunnel struck a body of ore. The vein was vertical and had sharp dip. To develop it and get ready to mine the ore it was necessary to put down a winze-that Is to say, to sink a shaft, in this in- stance an incline.
 Elated over the discovery, he tele- graphed the board in the East that he had struck rich shipping ore and received the laconic reply to begin shipping at once.
 He wired that he could not ship any ore until he had a winze on the vein.
 How much will winze cost?" was the telegraphic reply.
 "One thousand dollars" he replied, promptly.
 The next query fioored him. It read: Cant you buy a secondhand winze cheaper?''-New York Post.

Doe. Radium Existf

This rather surprising question is
 raised by pr. Gustav Le Bon, a we'll known scientist, who calls upon the friends of science to contribute SIC, 900, the sum which he estimates as prob ably necessary to cover the cost of experiments to prove whether radium really exists. His own idea is that there is no such metal, and that the phenomena from which it's existence has been inferred are due to unknown combinations analogous to those which impart the property of phosphoresence to certain sulphides. He calls atten- tion to the fact that what we usually call radium is simply the chloride oi bromide of an unknown substance pure chloride, he says, is never phos- but becomes so when mixed with traces of certain other sub stances. He predicts that the result of the research that he proposes would be to derive from the so-called chloride of radium nothing more than the well known metal barium, and holds that the observed radio-activity results simply from certain now unknown chemical combinations.

The estimate that s1O.00O, ,00O year
 is spent in this country for fly screens
 is probably not exaggerated, says the Indianapolis News. Every person who has equipped his home with screens realizes the expense, and even with screens there must be eternal vigilance to keep out the flies.
 And why is all this SO? Because we are not cleanly. It is not a pleasant admission to make, but it is none the less true. In too many of the back yards of residences during the summer season will be found open garbage re- ceptacles. Into these goes a wantou waste of food to form breeding places for the flies, which later on are to poi son our fresh food and make us sick.
 It is notable that there are fewer flies down town than there are in the residence districts Some well-kept of- fee buildings are practically clear If them, and screens in such places are almost unknown. This is because they afford no place for the fly to breed and nothing for it to eat. Filth and de- are necessary for the pro- pagation of flies, and the less of this there is the fewer flies there will be. If all garbage were kept in tightly covered receptacles, and if all filth were cleaned up, the decrease in the number of flies would be surprising, and there would undoubtedly be sharp decrease in the summer death rate.
