Baltimore American The manner in
which the president has stood for this
measure has not only demonstrated his
courage and his fighting qualities, but IL
has added vastly to the already cumulative
evidence that Mr.. Taft arrives at his con-

Springfield (Mass.) Republican,: The SEN
ate has at last passed the reciprocity bill.
But no one can bring forward a good rea-
son why it should not have been done
before March 4, and the country thus saved
the nuisance of the extra session. It is to
be hoped that former Senator Eugene Hale
has benefited by contemplating a tedious
performance which would have been unneo-
essary but for his obstinacy. At least no
one else has benefited very largely unless
it is the democratic party, which has

The Long and Short Haul.

1t is to be expected that the rail-
roads of the country, practically all
OF which are affected by the Interstate
Commerce commissions freight rate
rulings, will exhaust their last legal
recourse in determining the validity
of the decisions before accepting them.
Touching the entire system of rates
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the
decisions are of such sweeping char
acter as to warrant no other belief
now, affecting, IL they stand, the price
of commodities and the cost of living
as we'll
These rulings lay down, for the
first time, definite principle for ap-
plying the long-and-short-hau pro-
vision Of the Interstate commerce law,
a subject with which the Sixty-first
congress tugged and tussled long and
hard. The two most notable cases in
volved are the Spokane and Reno
cases, and the paramount issue is how
far a railroad may go in making a
less rate for a long distance than for
a short one. The commission, of
course, does not say that under no cir
cumstances shall this be done, but It
does declare that THE intention of
the law is to make its prohibition of
the higher rate for the shorter haul a
rule of we'll nigh universal application
from which the commission may devil
ate only in specific cases, and then to
meet transportation circumstances
which are beyond the carriers con-
troll"
The principle of the long and short
haul as a rule has been simply that the
long haul rate must not be less than
the sum of the successive short haul
rates in the same direction as the long
haul. If by water traffic, as is the
case in both these situations, there is
competition at the end of the long
haul, the rule has been to make the
rate to that terminus less than the
rate to the intermediate point. For
instance, the rate from Chicago to
San Francisco has been less than the
rate from Chicago to Reno-even
though the freight for San Francisco
is hauled through Reno-because
there is water transportation to San
Francisco.
But the commission has ordered a
readjustment Of these rates effecting
a reduction of about 33h per cent to
Reno and all common points. In APP
plying the principle of the long and
short haul the inherent reasonable
ness of the rates charged to the inter-
mediate points has to be taken as
vital, If not the pivotal point. And
the commission seems to have acted
from that standpoint.

ers as the women But this, of course,
is the employers own affair. The

books, that is, limiting woman's work
