THE RAILROAD BILL IN ITS FINAL
SHAPE.

II would be hard for the Impartial
observer fairly to distribute prizes for
the services performed on the rail
road bill, the backbone OF the sessions
program. Fortunately. he Is relieved
by the task by the general gratificn-
tion and rejoicing over the result. The
administration has scored notable
victory the insurgents feel that their
oratory and labors have ''peopleized"
the bill and made 1t vastly more Roos-
OF the task by the general gratifica-
gressives nre certain that they have
prevented failure and f,asco by me
dating and urging compromise.
Outside of congress we find leading
railroad men expressing confidence
that the measure. radical as 1t Is, will
work out substantial justice, shippers
congratulating themselves that at last
actual remedies are to take the place
OF lawsuits, and the general public
satisfied that the spirit of progress,
not of reaction. has shaped the i'm
portant Legislation OF the political
year.
The railroad bill as now approved Ia
emphatically a compromise. II does
not by any means redeem all the prom
Uses of the Republican platform. There
are notable omissions in 1t. There are
no provisions for the control OF CAPT.
talization, and there are none legal.
izing proper pooling arrangements I'M
der supervision. Insurgent opposition
is responsible for the elimination of
these features. but both will receive
attention in the future. A commission
is to study the knotty problem of rail
road finance and recommend safe and
adequate legislation. The question of
railroad traffic agreements is left to
the future--to the logic OF events, per-
haps also to the outcome of pending
trust litigation and to the reinterpre-
tation of the Sherman act by the su.
preme court.
What is vital and essential In the
bill is the extension of the initiative
and power of the commission in pre-.
venting arbitrary action on rates.
There is, however, nothing In the bill
which initiates against the true and
fundamental interests of the great
transportation industry. Publicity,
stable and fixed law. competent ad.
ministration by the commission and
the commerce court should increasing.
