Stockholm, Oct. 27.-An ships leav-

mines, many of which have been
found in various parts Of the sea dur
in 4ho last month.
The latest casualty laid to mines
s he loss of the Finnish lightship
Storbotten, which was blown up by a
mine off Aland in September. Five
of the crew of ten were lost. The

The Esch-Cummins transportation Bill reduced
in some measure the powers of the state railway
commissions and extended those of the Interstate
Commerce commission. Therefore there is a very
ijinslstent demand for the repeal or amendment OF
that law. We cling jealousy to our local rights,
or what we imagine to be our local rights.
Our whole practice of rate making is illogical,
and many of the absurdities which characterize it
are to be charged to the fact that rates are estab-
filished by the action of one federal and 48 state
bodies which seldom work comparatively, and more
often are to be found fighting each other tooth and
nail. .
The rates which have been established under
authority of the Interstate commission are often
without justification, and their unreasonablenes is
accumulated by the still greater unreasonablenes
iof state rates as established by state commissions.
AS a result of the combination OF unfavorable cir
cu1nstances, we along the eastern border of North
Dakota are compelled to pay on a large proportion
of our incoming shipments rates which are estab-
1ished by a Minnesota Commission, over whose &C:
itions we have no control, and which operates di-
;Iectly and constantly in the interests of the large
cities of that state.
Railroads are essentially national in their func-
iistions, and they ought to be supervised and regulat-
led naturally in all matters which dc not come di-
rectly within the scope Of local police regulations.
There should be one, commission, and only one, for
1.-THE making of rates, and Nthat should be the Inter
state commission. Such a change would not bring
on the millennium, but it would remove the basis of
many of Our most troublesome complications.
\ State Commissions have a proper place in the
field of transportation, and they could be exceeding
%ly useful as agents of the state, to watch the work
ing out Of the regulations provided by the federal
Commission, to see that the interests of the state
were properly safeguarded in the making of rates,
and to look after service regulations Of a purely
tlocal character.
1t would be interesting to see what sort OF re
Gception would he piVan in CONGRESS TO a hill abolish
ing entirely the rate making powers of state COM
EMISSIONS. The man who introduced such a bill
would be assailed from every quarter, and would be
accused of knocking out the last prop from under
our democracy. And yet he would be proposing a
measure which, more than any. other one thing,
would put the country in a way to get railway
rates on a fair and equal basis, without discrimina-
ton against Individual or locality.
