INSISTS ON A CHANGE
The President Committed to Railrcad
Legislation
WASHINGTON Pres r t Roose
vothsqussed with several callers the
proposed legislation regarding the
question of railroad freight rebates
and the question of empowering the
interstate commerce commission with
authority to adjust freight rates
where found to be excessive Among
those who talked with the president
were Secretary Morton and E P
Bacon chairman of the executive
committee of the interstate commerce
commisson
The president is anxious that legis
lation in the interest of shippers be
enacted at the earliest poss ble date
and the matter has been considered
by him with many of his recent call
ers It was stated by one of the
presidents callers that Attorney Gen
eral Moody now was engaged in the
preparation of a bill which substan
tially would embody the views of the
administration on the question and
that the measure would be presented
to congress probably soon after the
holiday recess The president has
announced that the bill he is wiling
to support must be fair to both the
railroads and the people He believes
that the initial steps toward the de
sired legislation should be taken at
the present session of congress and
if possible that the legislation pro
posed should be crystalized into law
at this time
Senator Heyburn of Idaho had an
extended talk with the president on
the subject of federal charters for
corporations doing an interstate com
merce business The senator indi
cated his intention to introduce in
the senate after the holiday recess a
measure providing for the incorpora
tion under United States laws of all
corporations The bill as prepared
by Senator Heyburn will provide that
corporations now in existence must
take out federal charters and that
such corporations as may be organ
ized thereafter shall incorporate under
federal laws All such corporations
will be under the supervision of the
department of commerce and labor
through the bureau of corporations
The bill has not been matured thor
oughly yet but Senator Heyburn
hopes to have it ready for introduc
tion immediately after the holidays
ISLAND STILL IN NEBRASKA
Meanderings of Old Muddy Cannot
Take It Away
WASHINGTON The supreme court
of the United States decided the boun
dary case between the states of Mis
souri and Nebraska in favor of the
state of Nebraska The case involved
the question as to whether a change
of the course of the Missouri river
had the effect of changing land which
had theretofore been on the west side
of the river to the east side of the
river from the jurisdiction of Ne
braska to the jurisdiction of Missouri
but the court held that it did not The
opinion was by Justice Harlan hold
ing that the boundary must remain in
the middle of the old channel as be
fore the change
The tract of land that caused the
controversy is known as McKissicks
island lying between Nemaha county
Nebraska and Atchison county Mis
souri The controversy originated in
1867 Previous to that year the is
land was regarded as indisputably in
Nebraska The river at that point was
in the shape of an ox yoke and on
the night of July 5 of that year the
water broke across the land lying in
one of the bends thus throwing the
land on the east instead of the west
side of the river The claim was
made by the Nebraska authorities that
this was made by the digging of a
ditch
In his opinion Justice Harlan ex
pressed his opinion admitting that con
gress had not intended by its act ad
mitting Missouri into the union to
change the established rule and make
the varying channels of the Missouri
river the western boundary of that
state
Missouri he added does not dis
pute the fact that when Nebraska was
admitted into the union the body of
land described in the present record
as McKissicks island or Island pre
cinct was in Nebraska It is equally
clear that these lands did not cease
to be within the limits of Nebraska
by reason of the subject avulsion
The final decree is postponed pre
pared for thirty days to allow the Mis
ouri and Nebraska authorities to
agree as to the location of the center
of the old channel

Nebraska Pension Biils
WASHINGTON Every member of
the Nebraska delegation has intro
duced many pension bills durng the
congress which will close March 4
with satisfactory results The few
bills which have passed this month
were some of the holdovers introduced
last winter It is safe to predict that
none of the pension bills introduced
this month will pass houses
this session and in that case every
bill introduced this session must be
reintroduced next winter Possibly a
very meritorious bill -may succeed
FOR REGULATION
CONGRESS SHOULD CONTROL IN
TERSTATE COMMERCE
SO SAYS GARFIELDS REPORT
AMges that the Bureaus of the Com
rr issioncr of Corporations Furnish
Mjns by Which People Engaged
in Interstate Business Can Be Con
trolled
X SHINGTON The first annual
t of the commissioner of corpora-
is was submitted to congress
by Commissioner Garfield He
says no satisfactory reform is to be
expected under the state system of
ration that the federal govern
ment s at its command sufficient
powei o remedy existing conditions
in its control of interstate commerce
He therefore suggests that congress
consider the advisability of enacting a
law for the legislative regulation of
interstate and foreign commerce un
der a license of franchise which in
general should provide as follows
The granting of a federal franchise
or license to engage in interstate com
merce
The imposition of all necessary re
quirements as to corporate organiza
tion and management as a condition
of the retention of such franchises or
license
The prohibition of all corporations
and corporate agencies from engag
ing in interstate and foreign com
merce without such federal franchise
or license
The full protection of the grantees
of such franchise or license who obey
the laws applicable thereto
The right to refuse or withdraw
such franchise or license in case of
violation of law with appropriate right
of judicial appeal to prevent abuse of
power by the administrative officers
Commissioner Garfield says the
bureau under the direction of the sec
retary of commerce and labor affords
the appropriate machinery for the ad
ministration of such a law

of Luzon Philippine islands in his
annual report to the war department
says that the general health of the
