THE RAILROAD COMMISSION. Some Portinent Faots with Regard to Present Railruad Logis‘ation. Tho Unanimous Condemnation of the Hlinois Law by Rail- road Authorities. A Pow Furthor Points with Regard to tho Board's Singular Torifs and Fiotitions Suits, To the Fetter af The Cht-ago Tridunet Decatoun, Ii, Match 16.—There are somo broad principles which should govern all logisla- tion on the subject of railroads, which, in the present discuesion, ought not to bo lost night of. ‘Mr. Charies Francis Adams, one of the Railroad Commissioner, af tho State of Massachusctts, some time ago sot forth a theory of evolution with rogard to railroads and thelr rolations with Governments. He detailed four stages in this proceas of evolution, aa follows: 1. Absotataly {roa constriction and operation; 2. Loglelative - regulations 8. Executive control; 4. Stato ownerabip and operation, ‘ho present Railroad Commissioners of this State havo pronounced agatoat the Adams theory of evolution, contend ing that tho extremo of evolution has been reached In tho present Iinols syetom, Messrs. Poareon, Brown, and Steolo, that triuno whose genita in drowing nalaries, concocting fictitious suits, and publishing bogua tarfie, is so xtraordinary, bellove in “tho wisdom and ofiicacy of our (prosont) Jaw," and have no doubl that ‘it will bocome an enduring monument of tho wiedom and sa- gaoity of ite framers.” It fa truo that, in this reapect,thoy take exactly opposite ground to that held by thoir prodecessore. The first Board of Tailrcnd Commlasioners held that ‘roasonablo maximum rates . . . possess no complete and satingactary force to govern the charges of rall- road companios.”* missioners ** Forhaps ‘THY BROADEST PRINCIPLE that may bo appiled to railroad legislation is after the naturo of Douglas Jorrold's advica to people sbout to marry: "Don't" Tho less legistation the better,—none at all the wisest of all, Rocont railroad logislation bas sffected mont prejudicially the progress of railroad enter- prise, No othor country could have withetood the shock oxcopt the United States. Even hero, the contraction in railroad building hes bocn to ono-third of what it was provious to the era of hostile legisiation. Mr. Adams claims thot, asa result of this logislation, tho relations bo- tween the farmers and tho railroadd “much more nesrly approach to falr-dealing than bo- fore. The actual fact would socom to be thet, recognizing the injustice of the position thoy havo'taken, the pooplo sto anxions to retrace their steps. In Mionesots, the nev gospel bas been revised out of all somblance to tho edition as first published ; in Wiscousin, the movemant ia crab-like ; in this State, the people are sick of the wholo businces, and aro anxious to goa tho Taw rovealod, and the Commission abolishod, It ehould be borne in mind in all futuro legis- lation that MERELY ANDITDANY INTEDYENENCE with the management of an intricate business can only Lave vexatious aud deatractive rosulte, ‘Take the theory iucorporated into the present Jaw, —that it isan yojoat discrimination tochargo shighor rate for transporting goods a shorter than a longor distanca, ven 8 railroad com- missionor may bo led to sco that « froight-car only carns money when it js losdod aad moving. Acar londed at Chicago at night will go through to Bloomington, and be bsck again in Clilcago with s roturn losd on the third morning. Bnt, if its destination he s point 60 mites lega distant, it will take five days to accomnliah tho same yosult, And so with slit other important points the length of & night's run from hicago or East §t. Louis, The moro empty malleaga & car makes,and the longor its delays ot ntatlons, the heavior must be tho rate when in use to pay {nterost on tha Invostment. Eyon ® ovo-thitd rato over part of the srip will reduoo the rato on the romatuder by ao much; and if, owing to compatition, a full freight rate fs not abtainablo, the payment of so much ascan be ‘had, will so tar roduce tho amount that must necessarily bo charged on other frolghh if any retura Whatovor is to bo allowed for the capital employed. The following are EXPDESSIONS OF OPINION on this point given by witnessos oxaminod bo- foro the Sonate Transportation Committoe, and «quoted in its 1oport to the Senate: Edwin D, Worcoster, Socretary of New York Central, and Treasurer Lake Saore & Michigan Souther Road, says: It is often aupposod that itis always worth less to carry freight a short diatance than's long, . Bupposo property wero offered at a point where th wan no atation, would { not be easter to take it at the nearest stalion, even althongh if might be mallee more haul?

The Engileh Royal Commission of 1872, considering 29 branch of this subject, stato their opinion to bo that “it is impracticable to establish any standard for thes rovision of rates and fares founded on cost avd profit,” The records of Jeglsiative inquiry in all countries ostablleh the fact that arbitrary interforence with the mauagos ‘ont of railroad companies canuot but result in injustice to tho coiporations, anit bo of but \niinitessimal benofit fo the general public, af it result jn any good atall, Tho TELMENT ILLINOIG RAILROAD LAW isthe worst possible outgrowth of Leglelative folly to be found recorded in the atatute-books of thls country, No better comment can be mado on it than tho rocilal of tho fact that, on ‘the vory first day it went Into operation, the Railroad Commissionera ivaued a notice to the general public,—and ospecially to ratlroada,— Which clearly invited violations of its provisions, President Walker, of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincey Railroad, Iu thia State, justly ssye: ‘The reault will ba to all the railroads io Dilooly, if they do basicosa onder that tariff (tha one now in forco] framed by tho Commisstonera, railroad property from that ‘Vine ont is rendered worthless, absulutaly and oertalniy, . . . ‘Lake the whole tari sogeth~ ex, and soply, it to our road, and it ta simply dise eon: ies ad eas ‘ sas of our road is truo of Fork pages 216-6, Vol, If, coral ta 8 COMMISSIONERS’ DEVENGE, 4 word in o'oalng with regard co.» communl= cation published in one of your evenlug conten. porarios on Moudsy, The writer, ‘A Beuator,” endeavored to roply to say two previous tattoru, Ho says iny comparisons of rates was abaurdand fu forthe teayou thet the Commissioaen ave ruled that joint tariffs may be made for frelght pausing over two roate, ‘bo ruling re+ ally was that joiut taritts might bo mado where two or more railroads were * connected 60 a8 to form ono continuous line,” whatever that may Le.

Larned, To the Bititor af the Chicago Keening Journat: ‘In your article In Saturday's paper yon refer to the *‘I'weed "charter for New York, and seem to apprehend that the pronored Incorporation act for cities, proparod by the Citizens’ Aenoci- tion, containe similar provisions to the Now York Jaw, and affords equal opportunities for frauda, Permit me to explain the differences hetween tho two charters In the ponte to which you call attention, and it will bo obvious that the two ara ontirely dissimilar, and that the iil wo ere reck- ing to pass {a not justly subject to objection pon any of tho prounda tn respect Co which the Now York act was found dufective and dangers oun: a, ‘The New York charter (au stetol dy your article) commited the eutlze governiseut of the city tito the handset four new, Ip thote persous every function of public authoriiy was concentrate: hey could levy taxes, appolut zit aubordinate officers, prescribe ordiuances, and slsa vrovide tor their enforcement, In the proposed charter the power to ‘levy takes” and" preneribo ordinances" ix vested oxclusively ina Common Cotncil comunved of to brasches, each having ns check upon the other; and tho Mayor and cther oflicers of tha city aro vostod with the powers required for tho administration of their reapective departments, and with no others; and the different Com- misstonors are expressly mado subject to tho ordinances of the city. : Ju tho Now York ciartes, “The Savor, of hin ticn to consult with another Luman being, posensed supremo authority over every edmimatrativo oflicer of tho City Goverumont.”” Ip the propored charter, tho Mayer can appoint. no ailleer “of his own _ volition.” but, on the contrary, he must obtain tho ap- proval of tho majority of the Board of Coun- cilora clected by the city st large on the nytnority principle ; any any otlicer whom he ree moves van bo restored to oilice by n vote of two- thirds of tho Board of Councilore. ‘This trethud of appointing the chiof oficers of tho City Gov- ernment by tho Mayor, with the approval of the Common Council, fas been In practice in our city for many years, and has been found to works weil. ‘Tho only difforence betweon tho osisting charter and tho new ono, in thia rosnect, i*, thus tho power of approval ia vestod in the Board of Conucilors, instead of the Board of Aldermen. ‘Tho Now York charter directod ‘*eack head of dopartment to report dirovtly to the Mayor, at eutch times, and in such forms, aod under encls ritles, ne ho should prescribe.” No other tribu- niet has power to compel auy of these officials to lo tht. Tn the proposed obartor, the Comptroller is requived to report monthly tothe Common Coun- cil, not to the Syayors aud his dutics and those of the City Treasuror aro expressly prevcribed in tho act, and aro identicatly the same os those prescnbea by law in the prosont City Charter, trom which thoy havo beon transferred to the nowlaw, All the cthorcity oflicers may be ro ured te report te tho Common Vouncil at such times at it may direct. Inthe Now York charter, ‘each head of a departmont was allowed to regulate the appoiut- ment and pay of his subordiuater," lo the proposed charter, tho City Couucil fix the amount to be appropriated for the payment of the entire fo1ce employed tn each departmout, and the beads of departments simply apportion this amount among thelr respective employos, No other porson can ao intelligently and justly dotermine the proper amount to be alloted to the respectivo employes as the Commus- sioner in whose service thoy are, and who is fa- millar with the exact cbaracter and oxtent of their labors and responsibilities, By retuining within their own control tho amount to be ox- jonded in each of the departments, the Common Gonneit have the proper check upon the aumber of employer, and the amount of thelr salaries; and within euch limit it is mianifcst that tho heada of dopartments are tho best prreons to bo ipstrictod with the power to sppolnt their eubor- dinatos. Ia no other way can there bo any eftl- cient system of administration. ‘Tho ealarica of all sity omteora aroto be fixed by tha Common nuvoll, Jn tho Now York charter, The powor to do- cide how much mover och departmont shall expend during the yoar was yasted 1m tho Muyor, Ne alone was clothod with the powor to find out end expose fraud, and ¢oimpoach tho three other persons who, with himself, wero vested with tho outire pawors of tho Alunicipal Goveroment.” No one of theso Gangerous powers is conferred upon tho Mayor under the proposed obarter. The Common Council aro by it alone vested with the powor to decide how much money shall Lo rajsod, and how much shall be oxpendod, by each dopartmont. In thix’roupoct, aa woll ag in their powors to investizate frauds and call the city of- floors to account, tho City Council will possess theaame powers, and all tho powers, which it now posscusen, ‘Theeo are all the provieions of the New York charter stluded to in your articlo, aud it ia ob- vious that the proposed new obarter contains no such powers or provisions, aud uone having an similarity to them, or which could by avy pousl- bility be attended with the xemo evil results, You say tho bill is wrong ‘in falling to pro- vide any adequate method byjwhich tho sfayor and his heads of departmonta may be called to strict account aud punishment in the oyent of maladministration.” Ihe new avt repeals nono of tho provisions of tho existiog City Charcer, which have beon supposed to afford suiliciont safeguards for the purpose roferred to. If thero is any dofeot in this reapect ia tha oxleting charter, tt has not beou brought to our atton- tlon, You object also ‘thst the bill is not complete in itself, but retains ap indednite portion of the old charter.” In this reepoct tho bill is tho same ag that in the Gonoral Incorporation act for cities now te force, and wuder which large pumbors of cities Lave oranized, and no difll- oulty bas, so far as I am advised, resulted from the provition retaining thelr former Jaws iu force whenovor lucoasistent with the now law, It would make @ gen- eral daw cumbersome aud ve ovorburdenod with ‘Dials to incorporate foto it all the powers which have from time to tine been javested in our City Govornnjont, and it was deamied yosafe and unwiaa to out adrift one tisely from the past, Difilcultles would Lava arisen, and emburrasamonty and loaues have ‘Boon occssioned, Iu raupect to municipal obliga tlous, powers, and interests, which, in the opine ion af the bout-advivod and most exporienced Jaw officers of our city, it would be running a sory ecrious tisk taincur, The evil to which you refor was the lesser avi} of tho two, and could ba easily remedied by a now codidcation of tho laws of thecity, ‘Chose ave all the evils to which you refer, ox- opting the power of appolutment aud removal yested in the Mayor aud ueads of dopartments, ‘this power [ deem craential to the properadwins iutration of the affairs of «large city. No busl- nexg of avy description could bo successfully condected on any other principle, aud the great aud reapovaiblo work of managing the affairs of a city like ours certainly cannot bo conducted with efficieany and succoss without the same authority, There is no doubt that tho proper administration of our municipal affairs must depend chictly upon tho olaracter and abil- ity of tho men who are sppoiuted to oflice, No syatem can be devised under which dishonost men canuot practice and commit frauds, or wuloh will nave say people from tho evil consequences of olecting bad ruteca, “Cle most whicd can be done is to coustruct tho system of governmont upon bost aud safest principles to secura iiciaucy and cospouslbility in its adintnisteat and to provide the most effoctual checks aut hinderauces to hasty and corrupt legisistion, aud, having done this, all which logistation can do hee been accomplished; the reat must be left to the People thomecives, Tue objection which you mako to thore boing no fractional votes allowed (u tha votes for Coun cilora, haa po just foundation, ‘The Board cousints of ifteon members, and it would make too much confusion aud complica- {lon to allow fractious of fifteanths and othor proportions of a unit to be counted, ‘The power to oumulate tho whole fifteen votes, or any pore tion of them, -upon one member waa doomed suficient, In the votes for Aldermen, where only shroe are to be yoted far, tha objection to ftractonal yoteu was of loss importauce and pro- duced less complication. ‘The object of in- orasalng the numbar of Aldormon froin two to tureo for osch ward iv to allog tho cumulative vote, aud. a8 no wcrease of expense fs incurred thereby, i¢ wau deamed to be an advantaxe, for the reason that the difticully of cantrolliug so large abody by corrupt means would be grotly cl eased, You fusthor ask; ‘Why is Ur.

Tho Mayor's Cabinct is compored of asven pornone, and in it are included the Comptroller, tho Cor- poration Counsel, the City Attorney, and tho City ‘Treasurer, as woll as the Commissioners of other Departments. Tho vote upon the fettlug of of all contiacte in to bo by yeas and nays, entered of record, If you cannnt iotrust the approval of coutracta to tho highest and most responsible ofiicers in the City Government ; if tho Jaw oficers, as troll ae tha Mayor, Comp- troller, and City Treasurer, areto be regarded a8 unrafe persona tn whota to repos such a power, with whon can you trust it? Such a power must exixt nomowhero. Is it possible to place it any= whore where it would bo least liable to abuse, shore it would be moto likely to be rightly used. than by the oflicers apon whom it is conferred hy this bill?) Itseems to mo that no safer or Letter plan can be provided, and that, instead of its tending to fraud, {t will ineuro the most open, stialehtforward, avd honest administra tion of public contracts, aud render that forina- tinn of any frandulent ringe or corrupt scheinos in the highest degreo improbable. I believe I haye alluded to every objection you have mado to the Dill, aud it “seems jo mo that they furnish no solid ground for the disapproval of the measur, and see no reason to chango or may thedif opinion I before exprenesd, that the new Incor- poration act is good bil', and that its adoption ‘will prove for the beat intorcet of tho tax-pay- ers cud for the welfare of the city. E. C, Lanszp, LUMBER, Mecting of the Board of Trade. A meeting of tho Lumborman’e Board of Trade was beld yesterday afternoon at the rooms on South Water street, near Franklin, for the pur- pose of taking measures towards tho consolida- ‘lon of the Board with the Lumberman's Ex- change. Owing tothe polo which provailed all day yesterday, only shout fifteen mombers made their apposiance, and the proccediaga were, therefore, more or less informal, ‘Tho President, Mr. A. C.

Tha Board Directors bad mct the day provious, but hal arrived at nocouclusion. A Directory iad now tobo chosen from the Boards of both Associa- tions to make tha unton complete.
