The bard of transprtation of the state of Nebrska also requested the roads to reduce thethen curent rate 5 cents perhundred, and finally nade a tip to the city of Chicago, wheie they had a confor- ence with the road and made this same de- mand; and the ilt was that shortly after wanl a reduction of2 cents wus made. I be- lieve that was F'ebruary 1800, This will convey tothe commission some idea of how gencral and uviversal isthe demand for the reduction of com rites m thewest, Senator Paddock, when he offeved the re tion un- derwhich thisinqguiry and _investigation has been made, put himself intouch with the unive entiment, not only of the state of Nebraska, butin the whole far west, toan fmmediate and permanat wduction should bLe lein the rates on grain, t Tuforel proceed to a discussion of the question whother the proposed reduction to 17 cents per hundrd from the Mis- souri river or a lower rate should be mude I desire to dis- cuss some points made in the brief filed by the chairman of the Interstate commerce zay association, Mr. Waller. The point madie inthe brief, and I have not of course hadtimeto give it that sareful examination which it inquestionablydeserves, is that yon propse o make anorder without giving fim andthe rads he represents n hearing, and without. having served upon hin or them, therequired notice, Section 12 of theact, 1o regulute commerca provides that it shall be thedutyof the commission toinform itself of all matters of factin regard to the manage- ment anl control of railroads. How that knowledge is to beobtained {snot declared or pointed out in theact, exeept that for tho purose of getting information the commis- sion may subpenaand swear witnesses and call upou the court, if necessary, to aid it in obtiining the desived information. Now that, as | understind it, does not mean that these are the ouly ways you ean ac quite information, but “am simply cumulative. If the commission by pivaie inqui or by information volun- tarily given by the roads, orvy information howeve | fails 'to obtain_ what it ‘wants worder to obtain a clar undestand- ingof the manasrenent sad operation of the Cls, itcan then subpana witnesses ad en- s nyou something akin toan investigation of these matters iuthe courts. Inthe twelfth section of theact we find these words “Said commission shall inlike manner in- vestigato any conplaiat forwanled by tho railroad commissioner or railroad comuiission of iy state taritory, juest of such commissioner or commission, aunl may fnstitutean inquiry on its own motion in the same mannerand to the same effect asthough complaint had been mide.” Now Ido mot Kknow upon what provision of the act you rest your right to make thisinquiry and follow it Wwith anorder; whether you are acting under theclause first read or whether you consider tho reslution passed by the senate ,as bog in the nature of o complaint. The report refers o theresolutionas being in the nature of a con- l@laint, but I do not think that theeormuission ! Toust necessarily est it Jurisdiction upm that ground. Theact says that the commis- sion may institnte any inquiry on its own mation. Theobjection made by Mr. Walker is that there has been no complawt, Well, if your honorable boly 15 acting under this suise, certaiuly no complaint is necessary, 1@ ause it says you shall procoed the same is %0 complaint bhad been filed, which certain- 1y procecds on thetheory that noc ntis Yequired, unless you take the position that when you enter upon an investization of this Xind you muke the complaint yoursely o That, however, would bo absurd, hecuise to make acomplaint yourselves would besimyly 10 predetermine that the rato was excessive, If you made a complaint you would have to allige that the rates were excessive, which would amount to i finding in advance of a hearing, but under that clause no complaint is necessary, It says that the commissin shall proceed “in the same mamer and to tho sano effect as though complaint had been made.” The meuning of that, us 1 under stand it, is that nonotice shall’ be sent out, Dbecause if anotico were sent it woull ofiten defeat tho object of your investigation. In order tfind the exact facts and to afford piper reliel, and to give a wmedy tiat Duld be eflective and accomplish the de- 'sired result, your investigat wmust be more or less seeret, Bol take itthat if this | hionorable body s proceeding under that 10 O POsey Depariment wral Mans Union Paeific th cor Belv is u not e, ion 1rke ers and put | clause, no complaint and no notie would he | Recessary. Ou the other hand 1 thivk this ~ommisson may fairl ¥ that they are act- dng under this resolution and twat” it as a conplaint, The rsolution certaluly by in- glmlhln says that the Interstate commerce mimission cdtheris not doing its duty, or i the law is not sufiicient, and requires you to make rates law and i investigaton whether the are too high, and whether tho furnisles an _adequate remedy, what can W done to en force it. What 18 ore nabe ural ofter you have made an investigntion, ~ and gone into this whole mitter, and have found that the rates aretoo high, than for you tosay to congr These rates are excessive, but thelaw is ade quite toafforl ample roief t those sufering under the burdensof these excessive rates, Andthenstate: In accord with the findings here made we willmake an orderthat alower rateshould gointoeffect, But Itakeit that upm whatever ground your jurisdiction rsts or whatever iy be thechamcterof the objections made, amplo notice has been griven. When this notice was sent outof the date of March 12, and along with it was transmitted a copy olthe resolu- i tionof the scuate, the wads wew fully al- visd @sto the time when this inquiry would take plice, You asked them to apper and put in testimouy, and you sent them s copy of the reslutim so that they might beand were fully and con- pletely fuformed as to the nature, extent, and of the inquiry ; and they caniot be d tosay that they lad 1o notice of what was to be done, Now, whatis the object of notice? It is simyly tobring people who mmy have auinterest in the gition before tho commission ; and wi 1ot present? Mt Wilker say's that the_representatives of the roals were not present, but, 1take it thit heis a repreentative of nearly all the roails, and I know when the commission was in the city of Lincoln, Nebraska, Mr. Wa s there, and nearly all the gencral freigl agent's of theroads were there, They were alyw examined. The railroal companies put ou the stand four witnesses (o one puton the stund by those wiho asked a reduction of {le S0 it comes with {I1 grace from thee patics tosay now that they were 1ot notified of the inquiry so that thiy could ap- pear and cross-xarmine witnesses ind pit in evilence. They were thero and aid witnesses and cross-exanine did Mr. Walker pitin - testimony. himsell presented a sworn _ statemat ow, it is covering thoe wihole ground. clhimed that when thé second notice was sent out to the eastern roads that notice was not sent to the western roads, or at_leastto all of the westrn ads, but-if I am not the commission will corrvect me—I under- stund {hat the records of the commissin show that notice was sent to all the casten roids and arequest of them toappear and pitin festimony, und that notico wis also sent toall the enroads that did not re- ive the first notice. Youdid not, Ibelicve, soud the 1otice toall the westorn roals. There were three or four of thess rouds which did not reccive the notice, Tie sccondnotice, however, was sent to all thee rouds, 50 that under the oneor other of thse noticcs all the easternund western 1ads to be affected by this rediction were adiised to appear, Butit may be said thit imsmuch syoudid not send thenotice to the threeor foir western roads in question that you e 1ot make anorder against them, Thiat maybe rite but that would notprevent you fr nuking an orderagainst those roads whi were propetly notified; that would be justas effective, becauseif this rateis put in as to roud it will bo volintarily put in by the ers, The others will be foreed 1o come in andan orderon one roud will be suli- clent. I desive now tosay simply a word or two asto the character 0f a4 commission of this kind. Idonot take itthat this commission isa court atall, nor dol th that the rle which Mr. Watker hias invoked in - his brief applies to acommission or tribumal of this kind, requiring acomplaint, legl notice, md that they should be advisedof the exct is- sie and the vbject andscope of the mvesti gition, The luw scems to recogize this fect, because it provides that after the co mission has made its order, the mwad can hve its doy in curt. So long as a road that is to be deprived of partof its earnings can havo its day in court some time, that issufticient. Wesee an applicationof the rule contended forby me inthe adminis- tration of the laws authorizing the exerdise of the right of eminent domain, where the commissioners orappriisers maké an exam- ination as to the valteof the property, cn- demn it and make their report to the' county court., Herea man isdeprived of his prop- erty. He isnot heardat all, but he has the vight to appeal 1o the district or cireuit court, wherehe can lave atrialby jury,and the action of these inferior tribunals is sustained, because he can have his day in court some time, Buteven |f this were acourt, I afim that by every rule that governs appearince in a siit, these peoplearein court. If they were in court fore, _ they cortainly were in court when they filed A written protest or argumcnt lere against the proposed action of this commis- soom, a8 they didon the 1ith of June, ancd that arguinent is ren e for the scant courtesy with which it treated the comumis- sion, 1f it is remarkable in no other respect. Tn that document the roads ex pressly ask to be permitted to read this testimony and to malke argument on the merits. That would bo an appearance in_auy court of record 3 be- fore any judicialtribunal. Mr. Wilker in this last brief signs himself simply as Mr. Walker, and not Mr. Walker, chairman of the Interstate commerce railroad association, and thereby tries to auter a special appear- ance, although then ho sigued himsell chair- man of the association, Cana party bring his roads beforethe com- mission by as greneralappearance as possible, file & prepared sworn statementcovering the whole subject matter, alduce testimony, cross-examine witnesses, then later protest against the tindings of the court, reargue the whole question sk fora rehearing, and, when that s greuted, specially appear for the first time and endeavor to convincethe com- mission that it hus no power togrant such a learing, hear acgument or ke an ovder? The special plea comes too late, By all the niles that govern appeamnnces in wourts of record, My, Walker and the wads ho repre- sones are incoutt. 1f the plea could even bo eutertined in atribunal of this character it has been wadved. Mr. ith of the lown comrnissi reminds me of the almission made by Mr. Walker in bis renarkible pro- test that the commission 11y notiied lim that atthe proper time it would male an orderin harmony with the report made to congress. Mr. Walker and his compauies. cin disappear from this case, butit is pre- posterons for him to assert that hoand his roads have never been in it. Mr Walker says tiat if his order goes into effect the com- mission will have thedistinction of rendering the largest woney judgment inthe vorld, Suchlofty considerations doubtless weigh with railway managers when by a single stroke of the pen, they raise the rates 5 cmts # hundred and knock down without warn- fng the price of grain? or j cents per bushe The question of giving a hearing to the pro- ducers before putting upon them a burden of amillion dollarsor sois never entertain Now, 1 will come buck totheguestion whethér the proposed order ought to be made, and right hew I desire to say thal we are in entire sympathy with the position talken by Mr. Diusman of the boavdof trade of Chicage, We believe the rouds can stand that, and we also think that Chicago should be put on exactly the samo basis as St. Louis and Minneapolis, so that ifa man wants to ship by way of Chicago to the seaboard he ought t be ‘n'rmith‘d to do it at the sune rate that he coud sent it via St. Louis or Mimeapolis. This is o reduction which has been demanded by the board of transportation of the state of Ne- braskn by the goveruor of the stale aul by the diffteret branches of the state farmers® aliance.
