Mr. Seeaker: In presenting this joint rerolution of the Legislature of the!State ot Novada, I ask permis- sion, since the story is but partially told, to supplement its declaration with certain other facts and figures pertinent to its prayer. RAILROAD METHODS AND PRACTICES, Some one has said, or should have said, that excessive discretion is the twin-sister of cowardice, and he who recognizes or fails to rebuke & wrong is scarcely less guilty than the one who commitsit. Whatever may be the prevailing judgment hero, to my humble thinking the time has at length been reached in the history of national railroad legislation when it behooves every representative upon this floor whoso action has not been circumscribed by unwholesome in- fluences, or whoso lips have not been sealed with doubt, to speak plainly. 1t is impossible for any member to shut his eyes to the character of the struggle which, since the convening of the present Congress, has marked the action of this House concerning the legislation referred to in this joint resolution, In every featur e have been made manifest the resources, the craft, the audacity which the railroad rulers of the land are preparcd in ex- tremity to suminon to their assistunce. With their millions wrung from the many they have purchased and er- slaved abilitios ennobled in better fields of effort. The have subsidized the public press. They haved fouled the fountains of justice. They hay stifled the expression of public senti ment, They have corrupted the bal- lot, and sought to undermine the mor- | ality of every department of state national government; and their ae eredited agents hav= abused the privi leges of this floor by obtruding their presence among the members during legislative hours, or this alone.

H0AD But let us glance for a moment the asituation, without further refer ence Lo the circumatances which may have conspired to create it. During the last congress what is known as tho Reagan bill passed this house by a Iarge majority. Its proviewons wero overywhere discussed, and almost overywhere approved, 1t was plain, etraightforward legislation, and the people could understand it. 1f it did not completely correct railrond dis- criminations, it fixed o limit, at loast, beyond which thoy could not be ex- cted, and embodied a prineiple in in- ate railway transportation so just, onable, so necessary, that 1t ve- d the prompt indorsement, T am warranted in believing, of a maje of the constituents of four-tifths of the members upon thistloor, 1f they doubt it, let them call the roll on the question at the nextelection, and they will return to their seats instru After passing tho houso this died with the forty-fifth the senate. The maner its death was never reported by the committee having it in charge. One Washington correspondent said it died of neglect, another that it was disembowled and then strangled, and a thied that the chairman sat down upon it, T presume by mistake. But, whatever may have cen the causo of its death, let him be punished according to his deserving who harbors a suspicion that the funeral expenses were paid by tho railroad comparies. T am not permit- ted to believe it. The same bill was reintroduced in the house during the extra session of the present congress. After duo con- sideration the commerce conmmittoo | authorized their cl an to report it back to the house. Such action thus carly in the scssion did not accord with the plans of the railroad man- agers. Should it go to the senate within two or three months of the 10 costs | opening of the session, it would be it in committee thero until the clo: Hence, they asked that the report might be withheld long enough for them to bho heard be- | fore the committec. They intimated that they had eome new and over- whelming testimony against the bill, and their request was granted. Their ablest attorneys were haatily summoned to the capital; their lobby force was increased and redrilled in desperate and shameless tactics; they interrupted communication between the committee and tho house; their subsidized journals threw open their throttle-valyes, and the assault began. We know the resuit, if we do not the details, of the struggle. The commit- teo yielded to new convictions, and in the end agreed to a new bill instead of the one which they had a fow weeks before authorized their chairman to report. dutlicnlt to hold THE COMMISSIONER BILL, When the nmittee finally re- ported, in grac compliance with a popular demand, which could not well be disregarded, it was to hard in si- lencs to this heuse three distinct rail- road bil The t was the com- missioner bill, agreed to by a majority of the committee after the rehearing, and which, it seems to me, should be satisfactory to the raiiroad companies. Tho second was the Reagan bill, moc estly appearing as an amendment bill which has already recoived the in- dorsement of the people. The third was the substitute bill of Mr. Me- Lane, which says nothing, means nothing, and provides for nothing. It 15 a ghastly mockery of railroad logis- lation - something ~which nbles anuncharged shell from a railroad battery, spluttering, fizzing, but harm- less, and therefore ontitlod to no fur- ther attontion, Now, let us glance for a moment at the two bills remaining for considera- tion. The commissioner bill, or the bill of the maj measure, for it Wears upon its face the smilo of honesty. It 18 adroitly and carefully drawn; so carcfully that its enforcement as & law would not ser- iously interfere with existing discrim- inating railroad practic Iis aim seems to bo to supply the people with litigation rather than legislation, and perpetuate evils that it 1s the duty of ¢ In a speech bofore the committee one of the attorneys of the railroads romarked that there was a knifo in tho fourth section of the Reagan bill, and the trouble seems to be that his clients could not get hold of the handle. The hallucination was not new with the gentleman, and in recalling sim- ilar exawples of mental distemper tho air-drawn dagger of Macbeth presents itself as a kindred case. But if there is a knife in tho fourth section of the Reagan bill, there is a whole cuttlery ostablishmont in this commissioner bill, with uver{ edge turned toward the people. Read thoughtlessly it sounds well, Tt abounds in sections of tender solicitude for the people and clauses of stern restraint of railroad rapacity. Both are mere mouthings. Accomimodating public journals have been prompted to say that there aro sections in the bill highly unsatisfac tory to interstate railroad manage This may be so, It may be more dif ficult to please theso gentlemen than wo imagine. But the sections are coupled together like a train of cars, and in reading them we can catch the echo of the sound of wheels. Now, perwit me to make n very brief synopsia of the vital provisions of this cowmmissioner bill in plain English, and I will then dismiss it, It provides for the appointment of a board o I throe railrc ommissionors, | who shall have supervision over the inter-state business only of inter railroads, Tho supervision is limited now mark this provision—to questions of commerce betweon the states, and ress inj {ligence THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY., NOVEMER IR 14, 1881 Mmrn.,u of the businem ol the to do in the way of equaliz ducing the ratesof carri passing from one satate or territory mto anotheri Why, t aro Lo woe that the railroads charge no niore thar “a fair and reasonablo rata” for full for full ear loads, nd nothing loss car loada of freights lot it be o} xl\\l\wl,. conveyed by rail Atate or territory to another; and itia left with them to determine what rates sro “fair and reasonable’ for such service.

What the people demand is positive legislation, and not laws to inquire into the necessity of it. They want statutes that can bo neither mis- understood nor evaded, and not hoards of corrupt or incapable commissioners to tardily deliberato upon their griov- ances and extend the tenure of rail- read imposition. Thoy want laws, not empty promises, They want the aub- stance, and not the shadow that van- ishes when the twilight comes. Thoy want definite action by congrens—ayo, and they will have it, too, no matter what may be tho resultof the delibera- tion hero to-day—and not wily subtor- fuges in cighteen sections to beguile the thoughtless and prolong tho ycars of corporate tyranny. thain wlh ion in the between 5- THE REAGAN BILL, Tu short, siv, what the people want —what the people will have—cither at our hands or hands of our AuCcessora, if we fail to do their bidding—isa law embodying substantially the vital feat- uros of what is known as the Reagan bill, the central provision of which 15 that connecting inter-state railroads shall charge no more for conveying full car loads of similar freights a shorter than & longer distance, This does not mean that the charge shall be more per mile for a shorter than for a longer distance in a continuous car- riage, but no more in thoaggregato, In other words, and to illustrate, the pro- vision is, that if the freight charges ull acarload of clothing from New York to San Francisco, are 81, 800, they shall be no more than 81,800 if the'car is to be switehed off five Lhun- dred ora thousand miles this side of San Francisco, thus giving |]n- rail- ro; the benefit of hundred miles of unaccomplished car In thename of all that is reas what more can they have the demand?
