Necessity for F1exibility.

'aThe necessity for fiexibility in order
to fairly meet rapidly changing indus
trial and commercial conditions" says
the report in thic connection. "is fully
recognized. but the soundness of the
theory of leaving each carrier free to
initiate its own rates and thus invest
ing each of them with the power to
overthrow or seriously disturb an ad-'
justrnent that Is recognized as reason
able and fair by the overwhelming ma
iority of the carriers and shippers IN
'terested therein, may we'll be doupted.
"All. rates, fares and charges have
been open to complaint Tor per1od OF
more than ten years. within wh1ch the
commission had power to fix the future
maximum rates. For per1od OF more
than six years all proposed increased
rates have been subject to protest ana
suspension before becoming effective.
Obviously there should come time
when, as to the past, the general level
of the rates and the relationship or
rates should be fixed as reasonable:
~The adoption of such plan as TINS
would make 1T. possible to apply tine
energies expended upon rate contro-
versies in the direction OF constructive
work for the future instead Of ex-
pending them upon controversies as to
eparation for the past. with every
probability that in a majority Of the
cases the one who ultimately bore the
charge will never be reached by the
reparation."
To relieve car shortage. the commits
sion asks legislation giving 1t author
ity to prescribe rules governing inter
change of ca S. return to owning roads,
loading conditions on foreign roads and
compensation for the use of cars.
The commission further recommends
that unless the suggestion for fixing
rates by statute is followed. the law be
changed to curtail the. present period
of suspension and resuspension of
fled rate from fourteen months to
wear. and that railroads be required to

conduct or contumacy by a witness.
Divorce of. Steamship. Lines
Reviewing it's work under the pro-
vision in the Panama canal act requir-
vorce of steamship lines from railroads,
the report says instances have been
found where, while there. is actual,
substantial competition between rail-
roads 6nd steamships they own, it is
of advantage to the convenience and
commerce of the people that the own
ership be retained. The case of the
ownership of sound lines by the New
Haven railroad is instanced.
Referring to the adjustment of rates
to and from the east and the Pacific
the commission says 1t is it's design,
III possible, to attain permanent basis
for the adjustment, of this perplex1ng
question and reach such solution
without any discouragement to the just
relative utilization by all the people
of the established transcontinental ave
nues of transportation. by rail as well
as by the canal"

 The poet will stay several months and as far as possible live life of seclusion. This will be difficult, for admiration for Tagore and his writ ings is one of the powerful influences which dominate the Japan of today and the people have arranged everywhere to show their homage.
