In support of t measure, the committee has placed before the senate a volume of 216 pnges, embodying the views of rail road managers, bankers, manufacturers, farmers, and o on, relating to ieportation question, which the committee had collected during the re- The convuittee formulates its con- | elusions as follows: 1-"The public Interests demand regulation of the business of transportation. becatse in theabsence of sneh regulation the carriers and actually the sole vall disputed que arisa between shipper and carrier fons that as to whether rates ave reasonable or unjust dis- | crimination has been practiced. 21t is the duty of congress to nndertake the regulation of tie business of transporta- tion because of admitied abuses in its man- agement, and of tion between persons and places in its prac tical operations—evils which it is possible to rench and remedy only through the exercise of the powers granted by the constitution fo inst which the eitizen is en- fitled to that protection which the nationat xmllmnl\ alone can afford. al legislation is nceessary to ren- the evils complained of, beeause the op tions of the transportation system are for the most part beyond the jurisdietion of the states, and until congress acks not subjeet to any governmental control in the publie inter est. ational legislation is also necessary, f transportation s essentially of & nature whieh requires that uniform systen id method of regulation which the national authorities can alone ilure of congres: tempts made by the railroads sulate the commerce of the country in v and in their own interests, by | er combinations and iethods they are put into operation. the railroads, united or unre an or will eventually work ont its solution, scems highly improbable, judging from past experience, and can not be reason- ably expecied; that a satisfactory solution ot the problem ean ever be aid of wise legislation the committee does not believe, Th conclusions are sapplemented by recommendation that a fonal ailrond commission shall bo ted, with powers and duties sinnlar to those exerci by state ilroad commis- sions, to i prevent abuses incident to the r system. To fortify its pos gard to the method which the committee recommends for the regiflation of inter- -zt-m- commeree the upmmn of the Kansas ilroad commission is cited that “‘no supervising body ean determine imum rates as the subject is too intricate for one outside of railroad management fully to comprehend, The solid chunks of wisdom which the committee has extracted from the testi- mony taken on its junketing tour last summer were within themselves based on sound principl They are by no means novel, and could have been for mulated fifteen years ago by any intelli- zent business man who had given the railroad problem any thought. The nger agitation in Tllinois, Towa and Wisconsin brought out all the points raised by Senator Cullom’s committee. It was entirely superfiuous to quote the as railrond commissioner ex- perts who believed that th ulation of railroad tolls by law was too intricate for anybody except a railroad man. The iderbilts, the Goulds, the Dillons, the Stanfords, and other railway barons, have said so all along. From the outset the committee was like a packed jury, organized to endorse the Cullom bill, brought forward to antagonize the bill agan, which proposes to regulate r. ¢ traflie and preseribe extor- tion and discrimination. The facts brought ont by the inquiry of the sub- committee, of which Senator Cullom is ehairman, have only emphasized the pop- ular demand for railroad regulation. The situation of the country in its rel tion to the railvoads, the utter helples ness of the patrons of these public high- ways to protect themselves imposition and ruinous diserimina- tion, the fundamental principles upon which raitroads are churtered and oper- ated have all been corveetly cited by the committee in its report, But the remedy which it recommends is not much better than shelving the whole question of rail- way regulation and remanding the coun- try to the tender mercies of the monopo- lies. If the committes had only been disposed to strike at the most peruicions ul dangerous feature of our railroad system it would have framed and re- ported o bill embodying the vital points to which its attention had been repeatedly enlled, In the first place, congress should pro- hibit stock watering and the issuance of stocks and bonds by any railroad in ex- cess of the actual cost of building and equipping sueh road. In the next place, congress should make it afelony for any stockholder or officer of any railroad to be interested in any construction com- pa Lastly, congress should rigidly prohibit any railway manager or ofticer from being interested in fast freight lin 58 companies, grain houses, hotel companics, mines, and other concerns that are operated on the lines or right of way of any railroad, or have aflic confracts with such rouds, It would also be timely for congress to pro- hibit the construction of any trunk line of road unless a public necessity for the line is found to exist. Having legislated upon these funda- mental points congress should by law prohibit extortion, discrimination and fuvoritism, In spite of the int the subject congress could ver, mum tonnage rate, making proper distinetions between short and long hauls, Sucha maximum rate would not necess; rily prevent lower rates it the railvoads are disposed to make them. Bat & minimum rate, below which no railroad should be al- lowed to go, should also be fixed by law, This would do away with ruinous rate wars, which seldom benefit auybody and often derange commerce, Senator Cullom’s commissioner bill will not remedy these abuses, nor restrain the railroads from their rapacity where competition has been overcome by com- bination. His five commissioners will 1 all over the country in prineely we ears, attend royal receptions at alatial homes of railway nabobs, and pocket their $7,500 a year each, They will oceasionally go through the forms of entertaining some complaint and conl and final | acknowledged discrimina- | | the r: { stood the a to act is an ex- | secured without the | ngainst | refer it to the courte for final decision. They may even go #o far as to give the public access to railroad tarill sheets, Beyond this their services as railway reg ulators will not extend. With all bis profonnd investigation of the railroad problem Senator Cullom only shows that he 1s merely playing a part to mollify the railroads, The provisions of his bill, wlich re- quires the president to choose three from one political party and two from the me ce. No one kiows n the senator that the influences which will interpose in tavor of candi- dates care very little for party. Jay ould will have no trouble in finding snitable material for commissioners in cither party, and the commission is not likely to be hampered by polities principles. Of course the railroad managers will pretend to be bitterly opposed to Me. Cullom's bill, but when the tug of war comes on they will mass all their for bill, and push the commissions substitute to a final passage, never has been a commission country that could withstand the pressure any great length of time. commissioners of Kansasstarted ont with an honest purpose to regulate Iroad traflic. They found them- selvesina hornet's nest, the railronds assailing them from every quarter. They it manfully for six months. wetually recommended the aboli- tion of the commission because it powerless. A special session of the Kan- sas legislature was called to support the commission in the rightful discharge of its duty, The railronds blocked the wheels of legislation by their notorious methods, he commission tindimg itself abandoned surrendered un- nally. Hence the report that ailroad men can grapple with the te question of railrond rates. Should the national commission, which Mr. Callom proposes to ereate, have the the railroad wrons by an honest attempt to protect their patrons, the experience of the Kan- sas commission would repeat itself, The railvoads would encounter less trouble with congress than they did with the Kansas legislature. They virtually con- trol the American house of lords’ now, and no railroad regulation bill will pass that body that they don’t sanction. Something of an fye-Opener. The state papers that aceuse the Herald of being engaged in furthering Van Wyck's prospeets for re-election are not very astute themselves or else they imagine the Herald is purblind.
