City and County Official Paper.
Saturday, Sept. 17ih., J 887,
j man i'ii:i,irs diccisiox.
Says (lie Chicago Inter-Ocean :
'There may be sonic honest, nnd se
vere deiiunriationa of .Jtidfre Field's
decision in the. matter of Senator Stan
ford and (lie I'aeille Kaihvny Coininis- i
sion. hnl those, who think will per
ceive at. once, nnd (hose who think
lazily and honestly will perceive on i
second or third cogitation, that the
nation again ha reason to congratu
late it self on tho existence of a Su
preme (,'oiirt .
Kor what the decision of Mr. Justice
Field .cttlcs- i no more, or lest, than
this, that the I'liilcd States jtcivorn
mcnl, or n co-ordinnlo branch thereof ,
shall not he to any vitizeu of tho
rnitcd-Stntes what an inquisitor of
Spain once was to Spaniards filial the
force of congress shall be checked by
the force of the common law; tint no
man h ill be compolled to furnish
proof for the prosecution of u crime or
misdemeanor whereof he is suspected.
There is a prejudice against the I'aeille
lhiihvay just now, whether well or ill
founded it mutters not, and therefore
it has been asserted that SeuatorStan
ford and others should lie "compell
ed " to answer any and all questions
propounded by the congressional com
mittee. To this the supreme court
replies, l S rout is a rongrcss-i'innl com
niitlee, but greater is the law of the
I'nited States.
My the very term of its creation the
committee is lusi I Iiuii the law, for it
is instructed to call upon 'any of the
circuit, or district courts of the United
Slates" to punish for contempt any
and all persons who may refuse to
bring books and papers for its inspec
tion or to answer any questions pro
pounded by it. In ( it is plain that
the courts cannot do for tho commis
sion that which they could not do tor
themselves, and eourts canuot compel
persons to lay a foundation for their
own prosecution , either by the dis
closure of books or papers or by nn
wers to questions. That is the old,
barbarous, cruel and obsolete method;
U is the inquisitorial , as opposed by
tho judicial, way of procedure; it sur
vives in no English speaking country ,
and only in iho Austrian provinces of
of (!erma:iic speech.
In some sort the duties of the com
mission are akin to (hose of the grand
jury, it is a body of iuqtiirv as to the
alleged or possible infractions of the
law. Now, no prosecuting attorney
Would be foolish enough to insist that
a suspected person should be compell
ed to supply a grand jurv with materi
al for his own imlicimcul. And this
is exactly what the committed has as
sumed that i. is empowered to do.
The doctrine is monstrous.

where railway coinmlsslous laivo been j

years. To these statements our com
mission nial.os no reply; and likewise
il ignores the fact that tho roads with
which oomparison is mado make, gross
caruins three to four times as laro
tis those of (his Oregon road; and
moreover it' passeuyor rucolpl; wuto

count of higher wayes, cost ol fuel,

that with us tho cars seldom havu re

It Is In nvory way dofcirahlo that our
producer should ho ahlo to jcl tho
lowest possible rates for trniikporln
tion of their products. Wo conrot,
however, lo. sonic surprise ai tliticom

culver of the (). & l, hiuco wo had
supposed that the rates 011 this road
were far higher than on those of utlicr
sttitcs with which he make-i a compar
ison. Tho cm'cus is much loos than
wo had stippotod, and (ho genora!
line of 1I10 recolvors slatomunt is well
wnilhy nt fair consideration.
It Is shown by the conuuUsiou that
rates charged on thi road are le !.,
t wren ci tniii points whuru competi
tion prevails than hetwoen Tni.nit

rri lain points h mid he for d ti nt
its rates at nil points to this level, or
nearly fo it, or bo open to tho charge
of maintaining nt certain points un
reason 1c rates. On tho one side, it
is claimed (hut a railroad euinpnny is
entitled to collect rales which will
give a fair return on its capital; on
the oilier it is asscrtod (hat this prin
ciple can be accepted only when the
I tru'ltc is of such volume as when eon
j ducted on reasonable rates will pro
vince that result. The real question
ilics between these statements. On
J the one hand the inquiry ns to what is
a reasonable rate cannot fairly be sep
eratcd from (ho imieirv as to the cost
of the service, and this cost must .al
ways include a reasonable return on
tho capital invested; on the other it
cannot justly be claimed by a railroad
that when it is forced by competition
to reduce its charges at certain points
below pajiug rates it tuny indeavor to
make up this loss' by increasing its
charge at points where there is no
coiitpetiton.
Tho answer of the rcciver is neces
sary to an adequate understanding of
the reply of the commission heretofore
published. Controversies of this kind
musl gravitate for settlement to tho
basis of what is just and reasonable;
and to right comprehension of this
prooiem run liuorinnuon as to an n
conditions i nuspensab lc. urr'ju
