Th Each Townsend bill that
passed the lower house of Con
gress by an afiBrmatiTa vote of
828 and only 17. nays on Jan 9
isintendedKto gie the Inter
state . Commerce.' Commission
power to declare freight rates
unreasonable when too high and
to declare what rates should ; be
barged by. transportation com
panies doing interstate business.
When the law3 orsating ths la
terstate Commerce , Commission
was passed, some eighteen years
aga it was thought the power to
nx rates was giren it. Acting
under this view of the law that
commission, did fix rates, for ten
y;ears and until r the . Supreme
eburt hejd that the act did not
gire the commission power to
fix rates. This so seriously
emasculated the powsr' of , .the
commission ihf ecifif as
became of little practical value.
It could declare a rate unreason
ably high but could noj j say.
what rate should be charged, the
resaU.of which ,was that the
railroads Jhavs for tbel past eight
yean been paying little1 or no
attention to the rulings of the
Cpin mission.
Should the Senate i pass i the
Esch Townsend bill; the' Com
mission will have power to, en
force its rulings and compel the
great trans poitations to respeet
and. act in ' conformity , to ..its
rulings, aod . chargs ,the
the Oemmisaion declares reason
kble and just.
THE BEGINNING
Yesterday marked the begin
ning of a now industrial era for
this city. While the beginning
is small, watch it grow, and you
will be surprised aVits.develppj
ment and-you wiH also note ;thj
(etelopment of. the,, city . in a
aill greater ratio. '
we aave reference to the ten
horse power electric . motor, re-r
ceited by,ths . ,Lal Grande Iron
Works Electricity today is the
cheapest power in. practical. . use,
and now that La .Graona. ..will
topn have an abundance of this
power if means the " successful
operatjon.of, numcroi snaaU
and large enterprises that here
toforo could toot have carried on
profitably. Enterprises that'
require power employ' labor.
LaGraude .has bepn, heavily
handicapped in her growth by
her defiiiency in a cheap-power,
but that is a thing of, the pasfc.,
foiies-DimcuLTy.:
Governor Foll;of .Missouri is
hating trouble with his. Demo
ciaVie eefnate-l. Owing to the tact
thabalf th' mesabership hohle
ove the landslide left that body
Democratic., Ntw,wbVa , the
governor seeks for iegialatioc to
facilitate the-work4' of 'ferreting
utjAn.d punishing personf guilty
fiofs the senate' indisposed to
enact sruch"a, measure.;
A bib v iWeAiatr,'rduced ds
signed to compel witnesses be
fore, a grand jury to testify and
produce documents they may
have in their possession. 8en-
A 1 . t
aiors nave taxen . np arms
against the measure, claimingit
would - deprive men of their
rights, and it setms doubtful
whether the governor will be
able to break through the or
don.
,No honest-man would ever
lose any right under such a law,
and no. dishonest person -deserves
to be given such protec
tion as is now accorded. Cer
tainly, there is no, manner of
excuse for any honest man's vot
ing against a bill of that char
acter. Yet there is opposition
of tbecharactersuggested, mem
bers ' preferring ' to '. look after
some. abstract right of boodlers
rather than the interests of.- the
public.
. , During the time Folk . was
prosecutor a number of scound
rels escaped thrpugh refusal. of
witnesses to give testimony be
fore the grand jury. It is quite
probable tome of the hold-over
senators belong to the class who
might be caoghtln the net of
justice if the . mouths of their
fricdc Zzli t!??ld in the
room of the1 grand jury. That
is the only possible explanation
of th opposition to the bill. If
folk could have ' put ' all bribe
ingsgislatons in) the. peni
tentiary before he took the gub
ernatorial, chajr b e would hayf ,
tiaa,a tetter .chance to get ; such
legislation as is weeded.' i
