A bill has been introduced in
Congress that 10 designed to restore
to the states Of the union the power
of making interstate railroad rates
and car fares For several years, a
block Of states. notably in the west,
have been challenging the right and
authority of the national commits
sion to make these rates and in
some instances state commissions
have INDUCED in strong protests
over the taking away OF these
rights, the effect Of which has been
to deprive local regulatory officials
of any say in what the roads should
or should not do in these matters.
Court action has been attempted but
without avail. Congress, or a least
the committee on Interstate COM
MERGE has been Investigating and
apparently has determined to de-
centralize the state making author
ity by placing 1t back in local hands
where 1t was until the Interstate
commerce commission began laying
its hands on local affairs. Perhaps
the local commissions will come in
to their own II congress can be pre-
vailed upon to pass the law.

IF "BLOCS" ARE BAD THE FAR.
MERS WILL CURE THEM. 'ys

There is great excitement among
the big city papers over the agri-
cultural 'ibloc" in Congress. It
seems that it is most terrible thing
for Senators elected to represent
farming states to really represent
their constituents, regardless of pol
|itics.
Yet, if these same representatives
of farming states went to Washing
ton and thereafter gave their atten-
ton and their votes to the financial
and manufacturing interests, there
would be no outcry at all.
Every American knows THAT for
more than half century-aye, for
century-the financial interests
have been we'll looked after in Con-
gress. When Wall Street decided
upon certain policy, many Demo-
|'crattc and Republican Congressman
forgot their politics to unite for, and
make into laws, such important bills
as the great financiers and captains
of industry demanded. 1t is true
that off and on certain progressives
of both Iparties-someE imes led by a
Roosevelt or Bryan-protested
against all the good things of legis-
lation going to one class of business
men and none to the class of bust
ness represented by the farmer and
the small tradesman. But they were
smiled upon indulgently, or sneered
at, and the ''bloc" in Congress went
lon voting for Big Business the same
as ever.
1t was inevitable that other
I"blocs" would spring up. If the
Fgreat farming-stock raising indus
try could get nothing from the gov
eminent, it was natural that 1t
would take the very steps that were
lplainly necessary for other interests
The agricultural 'fbloc" has been
THE result.
They say "like cures like. l.
the "bloc" that has represented higf
, finance for a century was a bat
thing, perhaps the new ''bloc" which
: so much distresses the Eastern
t newspapers and politicians and biz
v guns generally win cure the who'll
bloc business. Anyway, THE coun
