a competitive purpose. In other
words, the time had come when they
were in position to apply the rule
of taking "all the traffic will bear"
That rule has done the railroads
more harm in public estimate than
any other practice they have en-
ployed. Based on a perfectly sound
economic principle, the application
of it was so far perverted that it
brought the public in protest to the
Government demanding relief. In
withdrawing the store-door delivery
the railroads made no reduction OF
rates to compensate for this long
established service. As result the
people of Baltimore and Washing
ton suffer what amounts to an in
crease Of rates.
The decision of the Interstate
Commission upholding the railroads
at this point contains some benefits
in ether directions for Washington.
Thus it is held that lower rates from
the north and northeast to Richmond
than to Washington are not justified.
That is pretty nearly automatic, and
the wonder is, not that this should
be held, but that such unfair rates
should ever have been permitted at
all. More than this, the fabric of
distributing rates out of Washington
to Southern points is held to be in
equitable. Washington has long suf-
fered in this regard. Other cities
have been able to distribute goods
in territory that ought to be open
en- equal or better terms to Wash
ington dealers, and have been given
much more favorable rates. That
practice will have to stop, and it
means a general readjustment of
these business conditions. There is
need that Washington's interest in
the reorganization OF this whole rate
situation be given careful and ex-
pert attention. What is done now,
in pursuance of this order, is likely
to have a lasting effect on the COM
mercial future of the city. and no
effort would be wasted which looked
to guaranteeing the best possible re-
adjustment.

INOUISITORIAL POWERS.

When the Dolliver-Hepburn bill
was before Congress there was
much opposition to section 20, which
aimed to give the Interstate Com
rnerce Commission authority over
the books and accounts of the car
riers, even to the extent of prescrib-
ing forms and details of accounting.
1t was charged tha. the authority to
inspect these records would necessi-
tate the employment of an army of
inspectors, and that the exercise of
this power would be inquisitorial
and Objectionable in the extreme.
Despite these objections, the sec
ton was written into the bill, and
it was looked upon by President
Roosevelt and the authors of the
measure as in many ways the most
valuable part of that legislation. 1t
was supposed at the time that the
authority conferred was broad
enough to insure the commissions
ability to get to the bottom of all
business transactions of the roads.
But experience has developed fea-
lures in which the provision is weak
There is yet the possibility of some
concealment in the case of relations
between railroads and parties with
whom they deal, and bill has been
introduced to remedy this.
1t seems logical that if there is
to be regulation that shall regulate
it must be based On absolute infor-
nation. Otherwise the reeulative
authority would be compelled to
guess; and the railroads, least of all
interests, want to be regulated by
guess. The theory and policy of
regulation being now firmly es-
tablished, it would seem that the
railroads would be ready to accept
the inevitable, and to do the best
with it. They cannot possibly get
the best out of it unless they make
it possible for the commission to act
with the fullest information and in
telligence.
If regulation does not succeed to
reasonable extent at least, the de-
mand for public ownership is GER
tain to gain strength and insistence
Public ownership is one way to put
an end to all secrecy and all desire
for secrecy. The opposition to for
ward steps in regulation is more
than anything else likely to make
ownership unavoidable. The fact
that law which was supposed to
give full privilege of inspecting ac-
counts proved ineffective at some
points, ought not to be pleaded now,
after experience has shown its de-
fects, as a reason for reversing the
policy of full supervision.

SERVING THE EMPLOYE.

The Methodist Book Concern an
nounces that it has taken out a
group insurance policy on the lives
of Its 1000 employees, effective June
!. No employe is insured for over
$1,000; but with this reservation,
every employees life is insured for
the amount Of one years salary. The
Concern pays the premiums.
Thus is illustrated once more the
Lird of social consideration that pri-
vate employers are giving their en-
ployes. Railroads, industrials, cities,
school districts, police departments
all manner of employing institutions
are adopting plans Of annuities, pen
sions. life insurance and the like.
