LA GRANDE LIGHT AND POWER 00.
To hold the power of the great
Transportation . Companies iu
check, thoughtfull men of all
parlies in. the Voited -States
have retched' ' the conclusion
that the government . of the
United Sta'es is the proper agent
of the people to . exercise this
restraining power. To effectuate
this thought there is a bill now
pending in Congress to increase
the powsr of the Inftibtate Cbmr
merce commission so that it can
regulate interstate commerce by,
prescribing the freight rates. In
hia address in Philidelphia at
the 42 aniversary of the UuionJ
League in that city on Jan. 80th
in eyocscj ti '.hi uuii"oi
giving the;iiiti6nal governmeajt
this power" to control corpor
atious, among, other things in
the tama line President Roose
velt said.
. ' "(Joquestlonitblx, however, the great
dereldment ol lndaitriallsm mesb's
that there niost be 'an Increaee in the
nyerrieldn ' exerclied by the goTern
ment otet bailrieM eoterprlees. '
"Neither this penpl nor any other
rreeie0ple will 'permanently tolerate
the use of the Vast power and conferred
by j vast 'wealth, and ' especially by
wealth In its corporate form, vitbont
lodgihg somewhere In the government
the: still fafgber power of seeing that
this power, in addition to being nsed
in the interest of the ladlvidual or in
dividaals jxWeeielng' itl ,4i .aleotnsed
for and not jgafnst the Interests of the
people as a whole. .
MAt the present moment the greatest
need is for an inoresse In . the power
of , the national government . to keep
the great highways of commerce open
alike to all on reasonable andjequltable
terms." ,
:'Less .than ,a century,. ago .these
highways were still, as they had. been
Dce the dawn of history, either water
ways, natural or artiffclai, or else ordi
nary roads for wheel vehicles drawn
by, animal power. Tbi ijtQrvad f baob,
was utterly unknown wheir ourgoTerd
pent was formed and when the great
principles of oar Jurisprudence were
laid j downThas now ."become; almost
everywhere the most.. iinpoctast aadr
In many large regions, the only form
of highway for. commerce.
AThe-tnaa. who bcotrfil Iti dm can
not bej Relltei to sontrol it In his
own Interest alone. ,
,1'Doubtless no law would aooomp.
Ush all that anthoeiasts hope; there
is Always disappointment over the re
sults ol inoh a law among the over
eangalne; bat very real and marked
good baa oome from the legislation
aadj .administration ' of the last few
years ; and now, as part of a coherent
plani tt Is entirely possible, and, in
deed, necessary to enact an additional
law, which will mean farther progress
along the tame lines of definite
aohlevemeno in the direction of secur
ing fair dealing as between man and
man. v
"In) some such body as the Interstate
commerce oommlssion there mast be
lodged In effeotlve shape the power to
see that every shipper who uses the
railroads and every man who owns or
managea a railroad shall on the one
hand be given justioe and on the otner
hand be requlied to do justioe."
Now that Union has failed io
secede from the Union, she will
be compelled to be good for at
least two years more and by.
that time she, it is hoped, will be
impressed with the old proverb
"in Union there is strength."
And whether she is or not before
two years more has passed she
will find it much ' more difficult
to secure signers to another pe
tition for county division than
it was this time.' The people
will have had time to think this
all out; and , when they do the
great majority of the taxpayers
within the proposed new county
will not be in favor of such.
The expense of maintaining a
small county is much greater in
proportion than a large one and
by that time the saving made by
having the county seat at La
Qrande will be manifest to all.
