Federal regulation of railroad rates,
both intra and inter state, Is sound in
principle and beneficial in practice.
but 1t cannot, however, be practical to
have our great transcontinental sys-
TENS subject to one master as a whole
and to forty-eight masters as their
several parts" said President Franklin,
in his annual address.
The time is coming when the regu-
lation of our railroads will be taken
entirely out of the hands of the sew
eral state legislatures and placed
where 1t belongs-in the hands of the
interstate commerce commission. Some
of our legal friends say that this can
not be done; that the sovereign power
of the states granted them by the Con-
stitution cannot be taken away.
Sovereign power was not given to
each state without exception. but GER
tain important functions were re-
served solely for the federal govern
ment. including the control of COM
merce between the several states and
the establishment of post roads"

IL. 900 bales.

ures were issued January contracts
sold at 1903, or $500 a bale above the
