COMMISSION A REAL RULER
OF TRANSPORTATION.

The decision of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in the car shortage
case, if upheld, will leave no flaw in its
title as real ruler of transportation.
The Jurisdiction which it assumes is
practically that over the practices of
through roads. This, added to regula-
tion over charges of roads, makes it
well-nigh supreme in the traffic field.
The decision was handed down by
Commissioner Lane in the case in
which the Missouri and Illinois Coal
Company complained of the embargo
established last winter by the Illinois
Central against the movement of coal
from mines on its lines in Illinois to
points in Missouri. The railroad de-
tense was that if it allowed its cars to
60 to lines in Missouri they would
be confiscated and the Illinois Central
would not have sufficient equipment
to conduct its local business.
The Commission holds "that TEN.
porary confiscation by carriers of cars
of other roads and embargoes against
cars beingNsent of the lines of the own
ers are alike unlawful" The roads
are expected to make such rules for the
kreturn of cars as will terminate such
abuses.
The ruling is based on the right o.
the shipper to safe and speedy trans
portation of his freight. But all O
the car interchange rules of th'
American Railway Association ar
made subject to the regulations of th'
Commission. It's scope and authorit!
reach out over new zone. The neces
sity for asking new powers for i
from Congress has faded.

SKELETONS IN HARNESS

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
An article on the horse question will
not be amiss. We can't say too much
in regard to the murderous treatment
these poor. helpless animals endure In

horse, I must say the brute sits upon

INCREASE PENSIONS

To the Editor of THE TINES:
With regard to the recent pensioning
propositions, It is very timely that in
these days Of high cost Of living. some
thought be given to increasing the PEN

from IS to $12 a month. 1t has only been

Judge McHugh Sees
Government Regulation

Judge w. D. McHugh, Of Omaha, who
is not a Federal judge because Presi-
dent Cleveland and Congress could not
agree on the appointment, believes that
the regulation of railroads will be a
national function only within a short
time. ..g
Judge McHugh said he believed the
recent Sanborn decision in the Minne-
sofa cases would be upheld by the ST.
preme Court.
IT believe the regulation of rates will
become a national function almost en-
tirely, and that some plan will be de-
vised whereby the State commissions
will be deputtxed to carry on the initial
stages of matters in controversy" he
said.

ENTERS HIS PROTEST
AGAINST HIGH RENTS
To the Editor of THE TIMES:

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
As sympathizer with poor human
ity. want to add my protest against
high rents in this city. Rents are en-
tirely too high. Whenever 1t comes to
raylng about one-hah the monthly
wage for place to eat and sleep, about
all the spice OF boasted liberty and pros
perity has vanished. And this is the Ia
mentable case of the great army Of
those who work for $35 to $45 per month
and pay SIS to so for house rent. With
bills for fuel and extortionate prices for
food, 1t is hard to see how ends are
made to meet. Such conditions breed
Socialists, anarchists, and highwaymen,
to sweep the old parties with the pres
ent order out of existence. Meantime
property owners would confer a great
blessing upon their chattels by lowering
months.

TARIFF TALK ACROSS THE
LINE.

Canada's attitude toward the United
States is to be tested out pretty thor
oughly by the Borden government. For
one thing, the immigration offices
which the Laurier government estab-
lished at various centers in the States
are all to be closed. Not that Canada
does not desire continuance of American
immigration, it is explained, but the new
administration will devote its efforts
to securing it from Great Britain.
The attitude of the new Canadian
administration is likely to be more
efficacious in keeping Americans out of
Canada than the immigration service
was in getting them in. Despite re-
assurances of the new premier, it has
been profoundly impressed on the
people in the United States that Can
ada rejected the reciprocity treaty, not
because of any devotion to a national
tariff policy, but because of the appeals
to prejudice against this country. Those
appeals carried big parliamentary
majority to the conservative side, but
the popular majority was painfully
small, and the liberals are getting ready
to make their appeal for a saner, more
sensible attitude toward the United
States.
More than this, Sir Wilfrid Laurier
is going to introduce a proposal to
facilitate trade with Great Britain
under the preferential arrangement
This will be opposed, it is stated, by
the whole ultra -protectionist power
and the issue will be drawn anew AZ
to whether Canada proposes to stick
firmly by an all-along- the-line plan oi
high tariffs. The liberals are positive
that already reaction has set in in
their favor, and they will make The
tariff their paramount issue. Just al
soon as the Borden government gets it
self squarely lined up against increas
ing the British preference the Lauriel
forces will open the general tariff dis
cussion, and parliament has ahead o.
it the biggest, most fundamental con
sideration ever given to this question.
The parallel between Canada and thi
country, as to tariff, is striking. Th'
Payne-Aldrich revision was expected t,
settle the tariff question here for {
decade. 1t was a great victory TO
the standpatters-and brought promp
and emphatic defeat when the countr.
got busy at the next election.
So in Canada, the rejection of reel
procity was supposed to settle that is
sue for long time; but the liberal
already are heartened to believe tina
the reaction is begun, and that the vic
tory of standpatism in Canada, as i
the United States, will be but TEN
porary one, an incident to be ende
with reversal of form and nationa
demand for more liberal tariff policie,
The fight is on, both sides of the lin,
This country is a few laps ahead Q
Canada, but the Canadian liberals ar
coming fast.
