SWEEPING DECISION IN RAIL
WAY RATE CASE.

The authority OF a State Legislature
and of a State railway commission to
make railroad rates has heen made
the issue IN another suit wherein OBJ
lection 10 reduced rates Is made by
the railroads
In Minnesota, IN 1906, the State
railroad and warehouse commission
prescribed certain reductions IN class
freight rates. In 1907 the Minnesota
Legislature prescribed certain reduc-
tions IN commodity freight rates and
also in passenger rates The author
itv of both the Legislature and the
warehouse md railroad commission
was attacked by three railway com
panies. and their. case has Just been
completed before a master IN chancery,
acting for the United States circuit
court
The master in chancery, Judge
Charles L. Otis. recommends that a
decree IN favor of the railroads be
granted He holds that the action
of the Legislature and the warehouse
and railroad commission In making
rates Is a violation OF the commerce
clause of the Federal Constitution, and,
further, that the particular rates at
issue are confiscatOTy-
There Is nothing especially signif-
cant about hissruIing on the reason
ableness or umreasonableness OF the
rates. His decision that the State has
no authority to make rates, however,
deserves attention. If he should be
sustained by the circuit court, and if
that court should be sustained by the
Supreme Court, State-made railroad
rates everywhere would be affected
It so happens that in number of
cases the Supreme Court has already
ruled on the question of authority of
the State 70 prescribe railway rates,
and has uniformly upheld the States.
As IN argument for the need of Fed
eTaI control of railroads and railroad
rates, Judge Otis decision may pro-
duce some positive results. In view
Of the often expressed opinion of the
Supreme Court on the States rate
making authority, 1t Is difficult to IN
derstand how 1t can exert muclt in
/ huenee IN any other direction

ernor of New York and Wilson the

Democracy would be in position to go
into the Presidential campaign in 1872
with united and encouraged party,
possessed Of at least two leaders, with
either of whom the party could PTOba-
bly, command more support than 1t
has been able TO attract for twenty
years
The reason for the existence of these
conditions is found in the Republican
party itself 1t has permitted its
machinery to be used by special in
terests, to the advantage of those in
terests and to the disadvantage of
the people, until the people have de-
termined to put their affairs in the
hands of Others In most commUn-
ities where the Republican party is
progressive, where its leaders are pro
gressives, working in the interests Of
the masses, Republican control OF Gov
erument may be expected to continue.
In communities where the party Is not
prOgressive-an there are more Of
these than OF the others, unfortunate
lv-Democratic victories may be an
ticipated with considerable confidence
The time Is probably too short for
the Republicans to save the House by
actual OF fictitious signs Of progress
siveness They still have time to save
the Presidential election of 1912, but
they'll have TO hurry.

WHY DEMOCRATS ARE FEEL
ING CHEERFUL.

Those who have been reading the
political reports from The Times
staff correspondents are able 10 under
stand why our Democratic friends are
looking so cheerful these DAYS Dem
ocracy Is looking up. For the first
time IN fifteen years, the donkey Is
kicking his heels, tapping his ears
jOyOusly, and braying IN loud and con
hdent tones It really and truly looks
ss # the Democrats actually have a
chance to elect SOMEBODY 70 office.
For two weeks The Times has been
represented iH the ceuters Of political
activity by three Of its special, politi-
cal writer's, John Snure, Walter j.
Fshy, and James hay, IT. These in
vestigators have been IN AIassachu-
sets, New Hampshire. New York
. New jersey, and Ohio Mr.. Snure made
the Western trip with Colonel Roose-
welt, and Is now In New York. Mr..
Hay was with President Taft at Bev-
p erly all summer, and when the Presi-
dent left the summer capital ten davs
ago, Mr.. Hay remained in New Eng
land 20 investigate political conditions
there Mr.. Fahy has been In Ohio for
q week, and is row in the Mid
die West to record for Times readers
conditions on that sangUiue battlefield.

litical writer's, when considered with
other information on political eondi-

events may be predicted with hardly
