REGULATING COMPILATION RATES
The interesting feature of the Inter
state Commerce Commissions decision
In regard to Communication rates is its
assertion of power TO regulate them. In
the way of this appeared to lie a de-
cisiOn Of federal courts in n Western
case. A Western state, Michigan, we
think. passed statute requiring rail
roads to issue thousand mile tickets at
lower rate by the mile than that fixed
by law for ordinary tickets. The courts
pronounced this ultra pires, holding that
while n state could regulate rates in gen
eral It could not go further and fix
special, lower rates under special condi-
tons. Communication rates appear to he
legally on par with mileage book rates.
This case was the reliance Of the rail
roads which Contended that the Inter
state Commerce Commission had no au-
thority over Communication rates. The
commission has got around it, however.
by taking the ground that though it has
probably no authority 10 order the rail
roads TO make Communication rates II has
authority TO inquire into their reason
ableness when they have been made.
The reasoning seems little fine spun.
It Is possible that If the question is
taken into the courts they may distin-
cuish between Communication rates and
mileage books and place the authority
Of the commission over the former on
broader basis. At any rate, unless the
present ruling is upset communities en-
Toying Communication rates in interstate
travelling are assured Of the protection
of the commission. As 10 the reason
abeness OF the commissions decision
sustaining most Of the recent increases
in communication rates there IS no room
for dispute. The wave Of opposition
which those increases encountered has
died away, and the ruling Of the COM
mission will hardly cause n murmur
among those Interested.

In all the discussion over the fate OF
the reciprocity bill in Canada not
word has been said so far about the
Canadian Senate, and perhaps few
Americans realize that there Is such
parliamentary body in existence. The
members Of the Senate are appointed
for life and their legislative powers are
limited. The upper house cannot origi-
nate a money or tax bill ard cannot
amend such a bill when passed by the
House Of Commons. The Canadian Sen
ate is therefore expected TO acquiesce
readily in whatever decision the lower
branch may reach as to reciprocity.

BLOCKING THE BIG CHANNEL.

BLOCh mo IHD DIu IN ~ y bb'
The complaint of steamship captain
that small pleasure boats so throng the
Ambrose Channel as TO make navigation
OF 1t difficult for large ocean liners Is
based on reason and common sense.
There is an old story about the man who
cut two doorways IN his dog kennel,
big one for the big dog and Il little one
for the little dog, and there may be those
who will try to apply It to this harbor
and say that the channel which Is
wide enough and deep enough for big
ships can certainly he used In safety by
smaller craft. But the story does not
fit the case.
It would be a waste Of the big channel
to give it up to small vessels. They can
Use the other channels just as well. The
Ambrose Channel was constructed by the
government at great expense expressly
FOR the use of large ships and It ought
TO be so far reserved for their use as
always to be clear when they want to
use It, It is entirely unnecessary tres
passing for power boats and small sailing
craft to throng that channel. If they are
simply passing In or out of the harbor
they can use other routes Just as well.
If they are cruising about for fishing or
pleasure they can find other waters just
as good. II is intolerable that the big
ocean liners should be compelled to slow
down and actually incur peril in order
to accommodate these trespassers It
may he necessary 10 consider whether
the Ambrose Channel should not be so
patroled as TO keep It free and safe for
the ships to which It's use IS essential.

FL Paso, Tex, April 2S.-When the
official peace commissioners, who have
not yet been named, get together here
1t is very probable there win be al
least one difficult matter left for them
to settle If they can. and that is the
length of time President Diaz is to
retain his seat after hostilities have

that Diaz must resign at once bu;
with the coming OF members of his
family and the arguments they AZ
yanced he changed front sufficiently
o state that he would not insist or
the presidents immediate retirement
lie went no farther into the subject,
but it is known that privately he in
formed members of his family thar
neither he nor his under.officers could
consent to the president filling CUT
his present term, which has yet five
years to run.
All efforts to learn Madero's idea
as to how long the president should
be allowed TO remain in power in or
der to prevent disorder and possibly
anarchy have been unavailing. He as
scented to the proposition that Dia1
should remain a. the helm until ,oni
plete tranquility had been restore T.
but holds to the view that following
the signing of peace articles spe'

expected Of him and that he should
