p. T. Rowe Episcopal bishop of Alas
ka, who was recently elected bishop of
South Dakota to succeed Bishop Fred
erick Foote Johnson, promoted TO

STATES SHOULD
REGULATE RATES
Governor 0'Neal of Alabama
Gives an Address on In
terstate Commerce
NO HOSTILITY TO RAILROADS
Feeling That Once Existed Towards
Corporations Has Been Large
Iy Eliminated.

New York. Nov. 23.-"Conhscatory
rates made by "A state are as bad as
predatory rates made by railroads. Un-
der neither can there be that equality
of opportunity which all our institu
tions try to preserve"
So declared Governor Emmett O'NeaI
of Alabama in an address last night
AZ the annual dinner of the Railway
Business association here. Governor
o'Neal, however. strongly defended the
rights of the states to regulate intra-
state commerce.
To deny to state the right to
regulate rates or intrastate shipments
said the governor, would be to en-
throne the railroad above the state
or any other power. expose its citizens
to an unrestricted and unlimited taxa
ton for private gain and involve the
destruction of sovereignty. Looking
broadly To the general interests of So
ciety it would be better even for the
railroads to have unjust laws il there
were no other alternative than to have
the right of the state to regulate its
internal affairs i'm this regard impair
ed or utterly destroyed. If the right to
regulate intrastate rates reasonably
does not reside i'm the state it realizes
nowhere"
Governor O'Neal had declared that
the law-making power should ap-
proach the subject of railroad regula-
tlon in no spirit of passion or preiu
dice" and carefully avoid cripplng
great enterprises or impairing their
utility.
II am gratified to know that rebates
have almost entirely ceased To exist,
and that the discrimination which has
heretofore largely been responsible for
the hostile feeling that may once have
existed has been to a great extent elm
mated. There is no hostility on the
part of the people of my section to
railroad corporations.
I'VE fully recognize the marvellous
work which the railroads have done
towards the development of the in
dustrial interests of the country. If
mistakes have been made they were
due TO the folly of the state and ma
tion i'm sitting with folded hands and
not sooner exercising the power vest
ed i'm them to protect the public. In
insisting upon the sovereign power of
the state to regulate intrastate rates
we are not now seeking to restricting
the operation of railroads, impede or
check their growth or prevent fair and
even liberal returns on their property"
