(the shorter being included within the longer dis tance)" etc.
 But the present law gives to the commission power to grant exemptions and they have been so frequently granted because of competitive points, and water competition" that the prohibition the short haul is almost without effect The bill of Mir Hayden removes this power from the mission so above quoted clause will become the rule rather than the exception to rule favor of the long haul.
 Very recently the interstate commerce commis- sion ordered the enforcement of the clause as rates within the intermountan territory, and Pacific coast rates but under the present law the commits could at any time restore the old discrimination in favor of the longer haul.
 There was a time when competitive points and water competition might influence the rates between competitive points rates to points of water com petition. But such has existed since Sep tember l. 1906 when the power to make rates was vested in the commission. Still less is there now with the development of the control of the gov ernment the railways We do not speak of the governments direction the railways of this try, but of it's gradual assumption of control them marked by such legislation the Adamson law and half ago, fixing even the wages paid by railway companies. Under this growing power the commission may fix the rate to point, competitive otherwise.
 For the water competition has ceased coastwise transportation may easily be brought under government supervision as land trans portation. And all water competition comes from coastwse transportation. The power of the govern ment transportation will never be surrendered relaxed the contrary, it will almost certainly be extended to such point that the railway com panies will be allowed only such rates will insure to them an adequate and just return their invest ments
 There has been for many years such thing railway competition in the matter of rates. There has competition for business in the of offering superior facilities and the expenditure of energy in soliciting business That is a competition with which dhere proper interference and there will be none so long as the railways remain in private ownership
 Returning to MT. Haydens bill it may be urged against it that it is unnecessary at this time since the government is in actual control of the railways The government itself should not be allowed to else such power to discriminate against the short haul Those living in the short haul territory would be just unfavorably affected by government dis crimination by private discrimination.

SUITS ME. SAYS MACK,

In settling the bitter controversy over
the services of Pitcher Scott Perry by
paying $4,000 to the Boston Braves,
Connie Mack, of the Athletics, believes
that he has driven a shrewd bargain.
Mack says that Perry is a second Alex
ander and will excel all other American
league boXmen when the game Is re-
sumed.
Perry is worth $2v,voo to me" says
Mack. Hes a wonder and I'm glad
that his case has been settled" The
price paid to the Braves by the Attn
letics was governed by baseball law.
The Boston club, which is in need Of
funds, had to accept $500, though
realizing that the pitcher could have
been sold for nearly 10 times that
amount under different conditions.
The adjustment of the Perry case
eliminates friction between the big
leagues and justifies the original YER
dict of the national commission, which
Mack disputed with an appeal to the
courts.
