WASHINGTON, April 28. Jameg C. Lin
coln, general freight agent of the Missouri
Pacific railroad, continued his statement
before the senate committee on Interstate
commerce today. lie paid there was a
moro satisfactory condition under the Kan
sas than under the Arkansas Railroad com
mission. The maximum rates fixed by the
state commission In Missouri were fair
and reasonable. At times, he said, the
Missouri Pacific charged n less rate than
fixed by the commission. Chairman Elklns
asked a number of questions relative to
the advance made on live stock rates which,
he said, were the cause of the greatest
complaint. Mr. Lincoln replied that the
rates owing to competition were very low
before the advances were made. He
thought the rates too low now.
Replying to questions about private car
lines, Mr. Lincoln explained that the Amer
ican Refrigerator and Transit company.
In which the Missouri Pacific was a stock
holder, operated on that line. This com
pany had more than 4.M0 cars. The rail
road makes rates on commodities carried
In the private cars. The private car com
pany made the charges for refrigeration.

company It preferred to use the cars of
the latter company, although It did operate
other cars and furnished Ice for such cars.
There were complaints of high charges for
Icing the private cars of the American, Re
frigerator Transit company and also other
cars.
A. C. Bird, who is an officer of the
Missouri Pacific and also an officer of the
Refrigerator company, had charge of the,
private cars on the railroad.
"Then does he make contracts with him
self?" asked Chairman Elklns.
"Yes," replied Mr. Lincoln. 1
Chairman Elklns secured the address of
Mr. Bird and It was announced that he
would appear before the committee.
Peck on Hates.
George R. Peck, general counsel of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul road, was
heard by the committee. He said:
1 It is certainly not practicable even It It
' were wise to endeavor by legislation to
eliminate the activities wnlcli lie at the
basis ot commerce, traue and traHic and to
substitute In their pluee the rigid ci.nirol
anil regulation of a paternal government.
That Is the Chinese method, and 1 trust
never will bo the American method. Men
will always strive fur their own advaniagd
and out of this strife all progrexs has come.
That commerce, currieu on without any
governmental regulution or control, would
best serve the public, i do not beiieve, und
yet tt does not ioilow thut it would be sub-
jected to the Interference of a body of men
who In the nature of things cannot grasp
Its needs and Its requirements and trie
needs and requirements of the public,
i A raliwny company can cut a rate made
by a commission as easily as It can cut a
, rate made by itself. Making a rate is one
I thing cutting a rate Is another, and they
i have no posHibie relation to each other,
i Speaking lor my own company and in a
' sense fur many other companies l have
I oniy to say thai they will welcome any leg
islation, criminal or remedial, winch in any
drgree can make the puyment of rebates
more difficult and Inoreuee the certainty of
; detection und of punishment Hut if it U
i Kunuosed that the buvment of trm rch.rsH
can be suppressed by giving to the com?
nut tee the power to fix rates, I suggest
that such a result is absolutely lmposs.bi.
The rate-making power on any railway
Is the power of commercial life and death.
It is, under the constitution, clearly a prop
erty right subject, of course, to the rgu
latlng power of the state which created it
and us to interstate business of the United
Btates. All property rights in this country
are protected by the federal constitution
and the term "liberty" means not simply
the physical privilege of being out of j.ill.
but the right freely to carry on ones busi
ness, using and enjoying one's (acuities and
libtrtlrs. according to the law of the land.
Plating all of these In the hands of a
commission is certainly wrong una proba
bly unconstitutional.
Can the Interstate Commerce commis
sion which under the Esch-Townsend bill
will stand in the place of congress under
this limitation make anv preference in its
regulations of the portsbf one state over
those of another? It is an open question
today, which would be the greater ca
lamity to the people of the I'nited States
to have the constitutional provision ap
plied so that only distance tariffs could
be made to the ports of competitive stutes,
or to have it held thut the constitutional
provision does not apply ana may be dis
regarded. In either case the evil conse
quence would be far beyond calculation.
If the power to make rates Is conferred
upon the Interstate Commerce commission,
that body will be Immediately confronted
with the responsibility of making rates to
and from every port In the I ntted States.
If It makes a rate to or from Philadelphia.
It must not give any preference to that
port over Baltimore or any of the nu
merous ports on the Atlantic seaboard in
other states than Pennsylvania.
The Interstate Commerce conimifslon. In
sisting that the preference clause of the
constitution is not applicable, boldly take
the logical step of usklng that it be per
mitted In making rates to establish dlrter
r ti t l,i la. and that it be trusted by this
great commercial nation with the, power to
preserve harmony between all the pons
and commercial centers of the liiiud
States. If the Interstate Commerce com
mission were gifted with superhuman
knowledge and a superhuman sense of
Justice and fair dealing. It could not do
what It is auking congress to permit it to
do.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Business Broadens in a Wholesome Manner
and Labor Troubles Are Few,
WEATHER SLIGHTLY RETARDS DISTRIBUTION
Activity In the Interior Kvldenced
by Shipment of Largre Uoantitlea
of silver Tbcre by Treasury
Department.
NEW YORK, April 2S. R. O. Dun St
Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say;
Business broadens in a wholesale man
ner and the most encouraging Indication
regarding the future is the scarcity of la
bor disputes. These controversies are usu
ally mo.t numerous on May 1, but this
year no serious trouble Is threatened, nnri
one hencticlal result is the expanding activ
ity In the building trades. Jobbers have
experienced a good spring trade and man-
uiacturers are receiving large contracts
for fall shipments, while small contracts
are In satisfactory volume, except at a
few points where Inclement weather has
retarded distribution. -Activity at the In
terior Is evidenced by the Increased trans
fers thither of silver dollars and subsidiary
sliver by the treasury, crop prospnets be
ing well maintained despite excessive cold
In a few sections. Railway traffic con
tinues very heavy, earnings for April thus
far exceeding the same period last year
by t).76 per cent, while foreign commerce
at this port for the last week shows a
gain of 3,;'ji4,447 In value of merchandise
imported and an Increase of $1,917,660 In
exports as compared with 1904. Mercantile
collections show further Improvement and
money remnlns abundant and easy. Cur
rent conditions and prospects for the fu
ture aje both extremely satisfactory In
the Iron and steel Industry. Several new
Elants have been completed and others are
elng prepared and put Into operation, so
that the fact that the current production
of iron and steel la constantly establish
ing new high records.
Two lines of distribution are particularly
overwhelmed with business railway equip
ment and structural steel. Strength Is
conspicuous in the hide situation, large
tanneries purchasing more freely. Leather
Is also more active. New England taking

BBADSTREETS REVIEW OF TRADE
Industry la Active and Ontdoor Con
struction of Great Volume.
NEW YORK, April 28. Bradntreets to
morrow will say:
Irregularity still' characterizes distribu
tive trade, while industry is actiVe and
outdoor construction is of unprecedented
volume. The weather has been rather too
cool for the best of crop preparation or
germination. Labor Is well employed and
with the one conspicuous exception of
Chicago, where the teamsters' strike affects
trade and shipments, disputes are below
the average for May 1. Prices of many
staples have been weak and unsettled, and
cotton, some klndn of pig iron, copper and
country produce have moved lower. Rail
way earnings are good and bank clearings
this week, owing to holidays, are smaller
than last weeks, but heavily exceed a
year ago. Collections generally are rather
taray, and especially at the south, crop
conditions, though the season Is backward,
promise well as ngards the cereals. Heavy
wneai yteiu is in prospects.
wnoicsaie trade is seaaonsDiy quiet, a
feature being good reorder reports coming
from portions of the southwest whers
business Is good. Trade reports from the
Pacific coast and portions of the northwest
are likewise favorable. Southern reports
are rather spotted, while at the east rather
tietter anvices come rrom tne textile grades.
Well posted authorities claim the cotton
trade has emerged from the last two yeurs
of depression. Eastern cotton goods buy
ing is strictly to till Immediate require
ments, but business In seasonable goods
is in good ttnape. -
Hunting is active tne country over, far
distant points uniting in reports of un
precedented construction. Finished iron
and steel are in good demand, particularly
at the west. Petroleum is lower and
bituminous coal Is offered at low prices.
Anthracite Is still active at, the lower
April prices.
Shoes have sold better than a year ago
and the movement the country over is
larger. Hides are stronger, while leather
tends up because of high raw materials.
