CENTRALIZE RAIL CONTROL

In some quarters objection is made to that portion
Of the rate advance order issued by Director General
McAdoo which undertakes to set aside rates that have
been made by or under the authority of state commits
sions when such rates are in conflict with those just fixed
by the federal government Appeal is to be made to the
courts to restrain the enforcement of the new res,1la-
tons in so far as they affect purely state traffic.
1t is quite possible that the courts may decide that
the objections have force. and that within state boundar-
les. and over traffic which is strictly intrastate. the state
authority Is supreme. Control of interstate traffic is
vested in congress by the terms of the constitution. Such
authority as is not specially granted to congress is re-
tanned by the states. The states, therefore, have control
over their own local traffic, for that control has never
been passed over to congress-. The logic is flawless.
But the courts decide what is local and what is gen.
eral traffic. OF late years the tendency has been to
define as interstate much traffic which was formerly
considered local. In this the courts have merely kept
the changes which are being wrought in our economic
conditions bring about corresponding changes in the re-
lations of our institutions one with another. Nowhere
has this department been more marked than In the field
OF transportation. That which was entirely local in
character under the primitive methods Of the time Of
the framing of the constitution becomes part of a great
national system under the complex interdependence OF
the present day, Accordingly the courts have shown
a tendency to define as Of interstate character a large
and constantly growing list of activities to which. the
earlier authorities would not have ascribed that char
acter. IN. sd
The country has come recently to a rather. complete
realization of the need for, unity.tn matters of transpor-
tation. And there is every reason to believe that if it is
not ended. the system Of dual federal and state control
OF railways is nearing its end. If it should happen that
the courts decide that the states still have jurisdiction
even in war times over the making of state rates. and
that these functions extend over a considerable share Of
the traffic that is carried on, we may expect to see an
agitation for a constitutional amendment, if that be
needed, defining in terms more in accord with the needs
Of the time Just what are interstate functions.
Whatever may be done in the matter Of government
ownership and operation in a permanent way, the vast
network of railroads that traverse the country should
concerned, and authority should not be possessed in part
by the nation, with the rest divided among 4s states.

AMERICA WILL NOT BE BLUFFED

The response Of Secretary Lansing to the impudent
demand that Rintelen. one OF the kaiser's spies who is
now doing time in an American prison, shall be exchang-
ed for an American prisoner is terse, If entirely diplomatic
in terms. The German. demand was accompanied by the
threat that If the United States did not acquiesce reprisals
would be undertaken against: Americans in Germany. The
reply Of the American government was a blunt refusal.
The German threat was countered with the reminder that
while there are very few Americans in Germany, either
as civilians or as military prisoners. there are in the
United States quite a number Of German prisoners Of war
and several thousand Germans who are either actually
informed or under close observation. And the suggestion
is that il the kaiser has any regard for the comfort of
his subjects in this country it will stand him in good
stead to make no indiscreet moves with reference to any
Americans in Germany. ID
The exchange Of military prisoners under conditions
agreed upon is one Of the usual accomplishments Of war.
1t is entirely proper. In due time the United States will
doubtless be willing to negotiate through the proper
channels for such exchanges Of prisoners of war as can
be exchanged without military injury to the United States
or its allies. But It is not likely that the United States
will at any time consider the exchange Of a convicted
felon who has been duly convicted Of crime in a proper
ly constituted court, and who is being given the punish
ment for his crime which is prescribed in the law Of the
land Rintelen will remain in an American prison. and
1t is hoped that the proper occupation will be found to
keep him out OF mischief. In the meantime, the kaiser
cannot bluff your Uncle Samuel. 49,.
