The TOLLS REPEAL VICTORY

The passage of tolls exemption
repeal closes, at least for the time
being, another stage in the ptrpet-
ual fight against privilege. 1t
saves the canal from exploitation.
1t heads off another subsidy grab.
That is its domestic significance.
But back of this. or perhaps it may
be said above it. is its international
significance for in spite of the
Norris amendment, a device Legacy
without effect, it represents an as
'surance to the world that the
American nation guards jealousy
its honor and its reputation for
good faith. Rather than seem to
go back ON its bond, rather than to
bubble or wriggle or seek defense
in legal technicality, it has brushed
aside doubts and taken the straight
course. This action, involving a
Withdrawal from a position hastily
taken, a withdrawal in the face Of
jingoism, has been supported by
American opinion, regardless of

THREE GREAT JUDGMENTS

Of the many important decisions
just rendered, ssys the New York
World, by the Supreme court of
the United States, the most notable
is that relating to the rnter-moun
tain railroad rate cases. The issue
involved is that of the long and
short haul. 1t has been in litiga.
tion for many years. Its proper
settlement was complicated by the
action of the Commerce court, now
abolished, which interfered rather
arbitrarily with the Interstate Com
merce commission. For present
purposes it is necessary to say no
more than that the Supreme court
finally establishes the commission
in the power under the Interstate
act to administer the long and short
haul section, SO that as in this case,
al ltoads cannot make q higher
charge to Denver or Salt Lake from
eastern pJints than they maintain
with relation to San francisco. Los
Angeles or Portla i'd.
The absolute justice of tits judg.
ment is no more Illuminating than
the decision in regard to mineral
lands granted to railroads in the
days when our priceless public do
main was wasted in jobbery anG
scandal. 1t was not then the inten-
tion to give railroads mineral
lands, but oil had not been discov-
cred in the far west and at that
time it had not been ~judicially set
tied that oil is a mineral. 1hr
suits NV adjudieated were broughI
against the Southern Pacific Rail
road company settlers. and specu
lators in oil lands who have become
Daily independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 188?-1915, 1914-07-01

wise after the fact. 1t is the judg-
ment of the cnurt that the interior
department did not properly pro-
tect the interests Of the United
States in making the grants, and
that. in view Of the time that has
lapsed, no action now lies against
the railroad except upon the pos
sible ground of fraud.
!: Another decision in which the
ill-starred Commerce court is again
reversed is that which holds oil
pipe to be common carriers and
subject to all the regulations which
the federal law. applies to such
agencies. By this Judgment a
transportation monopoly of unique
character is forever doomed.
Whether by pipe Or by water in
terstate commerce is not to be
monopolizei or impeded.
The great judgments, indeed
shows executive folly and favor, if
nothing worse, permitted the rail
roads a generation ago TO gain a
thousand millions in land values to
which they were not entitled.
