opinion, however, that the Railway

this work, in view Of the fact that the
company is taxed on valuation at so

REAL CIVIL SERVICE Reform.

Those Republican newspapers which are
criticising President Wilson for reoreaniz-
ing the Civil Service Commission and ac-
cusing him Of being recreant to principles
which he has long advocated are appar-
emily unaware that he has only done what
President Taft was urged to do by his
Economy and Efficiency Commission. The
Commissioners had fallen into a rut and
needed thorough shaking up. Democrats
have accused them Of seeming to be chiefly
interested in keeping Republicans in Office.
while the Economy and Efficiepcy Com
mission charged them with downright in
competence and subversion of the spirit Of
law. In its report to President Taft this
Commission said:
After an exhaustive study Of the rec
ords of the Civil Service Commission and
of the evidence which was obtained from
the departments, the Presidents Commits
sion has come to the conclusion that the
Interpretation which has been given to the
act by the Civil Service Commission has
been such as practically to defeat its pri-
mary purpose; that instead of giving to
applicants the benefit of competitive ex-
aminations, and instead of giving to the
service the benefit of rules adopted for
testing the fitness Of applicants instead
of making available to the Government
persons who had by the rules established
been given rating of superior merit. every
condition Of good administration has been
made subordinate and subservient to de-
mands that can find no explanation except
a desire to continue condition which the
law was designed to supplant."
The Commissioners, instead Of giving a
fair show to everybody. Republicans, Demo-
Gratis. Progressives and Comparisons. were
most intent on giving preference to Repub.
licans. There can be no fair criticism Of
President Wilson's reorganization of this
very important body. He has retained one
member. Progressive. Of the two new
members appointed one lisa South Carolina
Democrat and the other Vermont Repub
lican.

UNFOLDING STATES RIGHTS.

Now that State regulation Of railroad
rates has been upheld by the Supreme
Court of the United States, even in cases
involving interstate commerce, where the
Federal government has not asserted con-
troll, the application of the States rights
doctrine is apt to 60 much further. So
far as the Supreme Court is concerned the
rights of the States to regulate their own
industries are preeminent. The Federal
government has no right to interfere. 1t
is only when the rates fixed by State
railroad commission are regarded as con-
fiscatory, as they are held to be in the
phase Of the case which touches the Min
neapolis and st. Louis Railroad, that the
highest tribunal of the land can be in
duced to interfere.
1t is long time since the country has
had such clear definition Of the power
of the States. We have seen the govern
ment gradually increasing its powers, TAX
ing jurisdiction over the railroads and cor
porations until little power remained, ap-
parently, in the States. Now, however,
the court has given a clear definition of
States rights. The opinion, read by JUS
tice Hughes, says:
But there shall remain to the States the
exercise of the power appropriate to their
territorial Jurisdiction in making suitable
provision for local needs. The State may
provide local improvements, create and
regulate facilities, and adopt protection
measures of reasonable character in the
interest Of health. safety, morals and well
fare OF its people, although interstate COM
merce may incidentally or indirectly be
involved. Where matters falling within
State powers as above described are also
by reason Of their relation to interstate
commerce within the reach of the Federal
power, Congress must be the judge of the
necessity Of Federal action, and until Con-
gress acts the States may act"
The importance of this decision cannot
be overestimated. The decree of the court
rendered at the same session, upholding
the criminal section of the Sherman anti
trust law. is important in that it strikes at
the malefactor of great wealth, but the
Minnesota rate case will have larger con-
sequences. 1t is complete victory for
State regulation of the railroads, and gal
vanizes into life all the State commissions
whose authority in many instances, seemed
merely nominal. 1t upholds the right Of
the States to put into effect local railroad
rates, abolish grade crossings and provide
increased crews. The railroads need moi
appeal to the Supreme Court for relief un-
ess they can show that the acts Of the
State have been confiscatory.
The railroads pleaded that inasmuch as
interstate commerce was involved the
States had no right to interfere, but this
contention was fatty overruled by the Su.
preme Court. All that the court requires
according to this decision. is that the State
regulation be reasonable; that it should
not be confscatOry, and that there be nc
conflict with any Federal regulation. When
the railroads come to press their demand
for the proposed increase of per cent in
their freight rates, they will have to dodge
their new local masters.
