COMMERCE COMMISSIONS
PATRIOTIC DUTY.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
More people are affected directly by
an award OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission than by a decision OF the
United States Supreme Court Thus
when the railroads shall ask permits
sion to increase freight rates 5 per
cent. the yes or no of the commission
may mean prosperity or hard times
for many million people.
This question Of rates should be
treated on the broadest possible scale.
The country cannot afford to stran-
/ gle or unnecessarily annoy its great
est single industry except agriculture.
The welfare OF the entire nation Is so
closely interviewer with the welfare
of its tremendous railroad system
that one cannot be hurt without as
grievously wounding the other
No one can escape the conviction
that in the past few years the rail-
roads have been put into thumb
screws. They had been forced to in
crease wages several times since the
/ 1907 panic, so that today the railroads
of the United States pay not only far
greater wages than are paid IN any
other land, but much greater than
were ever before paid in this country
Laws have been enacted which conf
pel them to better their equipmnt and
to safeguard their tracks. Public
clamor has demanded the most lavish
Notwithstanding that rival in
splendor the best the world ever saw.
In every possible direction have the
roads been forced to expand and 70
spcnd more of their earnings. Wages.
track and equipment. each and every
one has cut more and more into rev
enue The roads are powerless to in
crease passenger fares or freight
rates. At the same time they are
powcrless TO reduce expenses. The
SEQUEL Is that while this country has
bccn blessed by the most bounuiul
times ever witnessed, the railroads
have not been able TO share in II.
Net profits earned on the ouistand-
ing capital stock do not rise On the
contrary they are falling. IT the
stockholder we're the only one to sut-
fer the case would not be so serious
But the whole country rises and
, falls with the railroads. IL has beer
SO for half a century aud is so today
When roads earn great sums they
spend the money IN countless ways
The steel mill the nail factory, IN
locomotive works the car builder, the
coal mine. tho timber owner, the con
, Tractor. all feel the effects instantly
Prosperity Of the roads carries immo
diately good cheer 10 millions o
workers who are not employed by
them.
When the railroads arc poverty
stricken and curtail their outlay ever
other industry in America feels tn
Jolt. And they must curtail then
when the margin over necessary eN
nenses dwindles 10 near the zer'
point u is impossible for the rail
roads to keen on increasing wage
a and other expenditures without ais
t.. increasing income. Bankruptcy woul
be the inevitable sequel
# When the Interstate Commerc
Commission takes mp this freight rat
r, request Il is bound by every instinc
OF national welfare TO consider 1t i
C the broadest possible way The pas
r. time of bullying railroads has cease

shooter but DUPONT when shooting IN

THE EVENING JOURNAL is for
tunate in having secured the right to
publish the famous "Flaneur Let
ters,' which deal in bright and gos-
sipy vein with entertaining matters
relating to the courts OF the old coun-

city and wcll-known here for some
years as the editor of the German
Freie Presse. DR. jacobson is an ac-
complshed scholar and linguist, and
is now an associate editor of the
Washington. ID. c., Herald, besides be-
ing a special contributor TO various
publications throughout the country
He was on a visit to Wilmington re
Gently, and looked as young and pros
porous as any man should who is on
the shady side of fifty. There is nc
need for me TO wish. him good luck
for it 1t evident that he has that IN
abundance.
