WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, ID. c., Oct 24.-Another
stupendous blunder has been added to
the Democratic score.
The law to prohibit future trading
in cotton, enacted last year, has been
declared unconstitutional by a federal
court.
violation by congress of one of the
simplest rules of law making is the
basis for the decision. The constitu-
ton directs that all revenue measures
must originate in the house of repre-
sentatives The cotton futures law or
iginated in the senate. BY title it was
AN act to tax dealing in cotton" etc.
1t has produced revenue
A palmer case of legislative botch-
ing is hardly conceivable. The court
said it could do nothing butapronounce
the law void.
The decision numerically flags the
Democratic Congress for It's slovenly
methods.
"This act falls into the class of
manlike way in which Congress used
tion," said the opinion of the court.

"The constitution provides that all
bills for revenue must originate in

court can disregard information fur
nished by Congress itself"
A more humiliating fiasco than this
Democratic experiment with the cot
ton industry acn be scarcely imagin-
ed. For years there has been con-
slant agitation on the subject. 1t Gull
minated in a tremendous demand in
the last Congress for legislation to
regulate the cotton market. Dramatic
appeals came from scores of national
law makers from cotton producing
centers.

FERRY SHOWS HOW CITY GAVE
UP OVER $50, 1000, 900.

UP OVER $50, 600, 900.
Public service corporations in Chi
cago squeezed $9o,233,5 29 out of the
people of Chicago in one year, 1913.
That's one big reason. why there
ought to be a watchdog keeping an
eye on these corporations, letting the
people know when raw deals are be-
ing put over. So runs the argument
of Montague Ferry, commissioner of
public service, in his annual report,
out today.
The department of public service
was started through an ordinance of
Aid Merriam. 1t combines all bu-
reaus, offices and positions which
have supervision over utility COM
panies. The worst thing that could
happen to it would be for corporation
men to run such a department.
Ferry states:
Legislative and judicial bodies
have usually found it imperative to
retain high-priced experts to solve
the problems involved. Many of
these men have been biased in favor
of the public service corporations.
Competition has largely been
eliminated from the public utility
field. The monopoly and increased
power resulting therefrom has fire.
quently led to certain forms of ex-
tortion from the consumer. 1t has
also led to indifference as to high |
grade service.
in many cities the consumer has
turned to municipal ownership. At |
the present time commission regula-
ton is on trial The need for regu-
lative bodies of trained men, repre-
senting the consumer, is apparent"
Here's where a lot of nickels and
dollars of Chicago folks has been
going. These are the amounts Chi
