HABLEY ON RATE REGULATION
Attorney Geaeral of MU.oarl Read,
at Paper Whlrk Is Dlec-assed
hy Attorney neaeral of
STehrai.ksi.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. SO. A strong desire to
do away with the conflict of Jurisdiction
between state and federal courts and, as
one of the phases of that, to restrict the
power of federal courts In their dealings
with matters pertaining wholly to a state,
teemed to be the prevailing sentiment at
a convention of attorneys general from fif
teen states of the union at the Southern
hotel today. Most of the trouble Was
traced to tha fourteenth amendment to the
constitution, and one of the attorneys gen
eral, E. V. Fletcher of Mississippi, said he
did not see why It should be repealed, as
It did no good, for the negroes for whom It
wss originally, passed, and succeeded only
In embarrassing the etate courts.
The meeting '.was called on August 12 by
a committee, of which Attorney General
Herbert 8. Hadley of Missouri was chair
man, and General Hadley acted as chair
man at the ionvention. The purpose was
announced te be the general discussion of
anti-trust laws, railroad rate regulation
and state rights, and the papers read bore
out that Idea. The following papers were
given today.
"Ahtl-'trust Laws!" Jewell P. Llghtfoot,
assistant attorney general of Texas; dis
cussion' by F. S. Jackson, attorney general
of Kansas.' "Railroad Rate Regulation:"
Herbert " Hadley, attorney general of
Missouri; discussion by W. T. Thompson,
attorney general of Nebraska. "Conflict
Between State- and Federal Courts:" Ed
ward T. Young, attorney general of Min
nesota; discussion by R. Y. Fletcher, at
torney general of Mississippi, and A. M.
Garber, attorney general of Alabama.
Tomorrow the following papers are an
nounced: "The Standard Oil Trust:" Wade H.
Ellis, attorney general of Ohio; duscusslon
by James Bingham, attorney general of
Indiana. "Capitalisation of Public Service
Corporations:" Dena Malone, attorney gen
eral of Massachusetts; discussion by J. T.
Dampeyv assistant attorney general of Illi
nois: "State Regulation of Publlo Utili
ties;" William 8. Jackson, attorney genera
of New York; dlsousslon by William H.
Dickinson, attorney general of Colorado.
The opening paper was read by Dr.
Llghtfoot of Texas, on "Anti-Trust. Laws."
To meet the evils caused by Illegal combi
nations In restrain of trade, Mr. Llghtfoot
suggested that ' the federal government
should amend Its laws on the following
points: There should be a reduction of tar
iff on all necessities of llfs; there should be
prohibition of Interstate transportation of
f trust-made goods; there should be legisla
tion prohibiting the use of malls to trusts
and monopolies when convicted as such;
there should be legislation strengthening
the law against secret rebates and prefer
ential tariffs. . . , .
Speech of M. Hadley.
Attorney General Hadley of Missouri fol
lowed Mr. Llghtfoot and spoke,.. In part, as
follows:
Hadley bit Rate Regulation. .
Attorney General Hadley said in part:
We can approach the concrete questions
of law and tact Involved In the. question
of railroad- rate regulation with . tbe fol
lowing, propositions regarded as thoroughly
established by the decisions of the courts:.
First. U1s the risht'of the- allona4, bov-
errunent' . flu- the. .ciiarges at. which t,h.
railroads crry person or property ii wnat
Is known 'as Interstate traffic; fieeondtvit te
the right of the state to fix the charge at
which the railroad companies carry per
sons or property wholly within the limits
of a state. Third, this right of regulation
must be exercised so ss to give, the rail
roads a return upon their Investment, the
amount of such return being it 'question
that has not yet been thoroughly settled by
the decisions of courts of last resort.
The problem of dividing the operating ex
penses of a railroad on freight and passeir-
'" V -"SSoSR 'SSTU
c.nnot nt
But 'assuming
for the purpoee of argument that a division
of operating expenses has been made be
tween freight and passenger tramc, then
comes the next- step of dividing the ex
pense of doing state freight business, from
those Incident to the doing of interstate
freight business: Even to one" Intimately
familiar with the methods of railroad oper
ations It must be at once apparent that no
definite division of these expenses can be
made. And yet, for years, upo nthe bssls
of affidavits of Interested parties, with such
a manifest lack' of definite-lnnformatlon
concerning the earnings and expense, of
the different classes of railroad traffic, th.
United States district and circuit Judges
have exercised a veto power upon the acts
of state legislatures and the decisions of
di&y authorised administrative boards. ' .
Accepting HmI'i Own Statement.
Isn't It about time that both the people
and the courts come to recognise that there
la nothing so unsclentltlo and In many
esses so unjust ss a sohedule of railroad
freight rates established by the trsfflo de
partment of a railroad, and that there Is
nothing so much a matter of speculation
and guesswork a. thestatement of a rail
road auditor as to the expense Incident to
the doing of state freight business or state
passenger business In comparison with the
expense of doing Interstate freight business
or Interstate passenger business?
I believe that all thinking nn who hsve
studied this problem of railroad rate regula
tion realise that we have not as yet ar
rived at Its solution. Manifestly railroad
freight rates made by a state legislature,
In the hurry, excitement and Inaccuracy at
tending the deliberations of such a body,
are artificial Inela.tlo and oftentimes un
fair, both to the railroad, and to shippers.
Such work can be better done by a non
partisan nnnelective, administrative board
the members of which have expert knowl
edge of the questions with which they di-al.
It la manifest that we have made some
progress In the solution of this problem. If
for no other reason, because we have come
to a better understanding of it. It must
m .viu.ui, nowever, ,inai 11 will De neces
sary to cut and try a number of times be
fore we have reached a solution Just and
lair to all. .
Speech of Mr. Tb.amp.oa.
In the discussion of General Had ley's pa
per, Attorney General Thompson of Ne
braska said railroad rate regulation now
forma the three "R'a" most Important for
the people to learn. General Thompson
asked for union of action- by the attorneys
general to- secure uniformity ef laws af-'H
fecting railroads doing Interstate business.
He closed by telling of the Inlpulty of free
passes and stated that the Nebraska legis
lators who paid money for their tickets to
the capital In 1907 gave the state more sal
utary legislation, regulating common car
riers, than tt lud received In thirty-five
years. Mr. Thompson said. In parti'
Where ctatutes have been enacted to
regulate these carriers, they have yielded
to restraint reluctantly. Nearly every at
tempt to control them by law has met
with persistent and powerful resistance.
On the one hand, when congress has
enacted laws to restrain Interstate carriers
from acts of extortion and unjust dis
crimination, they have challenged its au
thority. Their champions In the national
legislature have asserted that the power
conferred by the constitution upon con
gress "to regulate commerce with foreign
nations and among the several states" did
not include. powr to Ax rates and charges
for Interstate service. On the other hand
when the states have enacted laws fixing
rates and charges for lntra-state transpor
tation, the contention has been made that
Interstate commerce was affected thereby,
and that the authority over interstate com
merce Is lodged In congress and dented to
the states. Thus they deny and resist
authority by whatsoever sovereignty as
serted and thus present the spectacle of
the creatures of.governmnt. defying their
creators. Authority, however, has "bevn
declared by our "highest courts to exist In
govern mnt"(o regulate and control' Com
mon carriers. ; The government In which
this power fo fit rafes 'Is reposed seems
to hsv been settled fcryond all ressonsble
controvert. . . -. ..
NuhVernus holdings' of fh highest court
of the- land make certain the following
principles: (1) That interstate shipments
sre subject to the regulation and control
of congress. (2) That intrnstate shipments
aro subject to -the regulation and control
of the states. (S Tht this, Governmental
control may-'be delegated td Inferior legis
lative tribunals. .
Notwithstanding the feet that these prin
ciples havev been Judicially settled and
established, railway cdn-ipanies still deny
and resist them. On the most flimsy and
unfounded pretexts they' fly to the federal
courts td enjoin the operation of rates and
rate regulations.' Reasonable and Just rates
fixed by the legislature, or try railway com
missions, are assailed 'as confiscatory' and
non-compensatory. -.Ini this manner laws
sre abrogated ' Indefinitely pending litiga
tion through the process Jof Injunction. The
people are now out of patience with such
conduct . and . declare that the. laws must
be obeyed until declared void by the courts,
while the railroads lnast that'they should
be declared void until, held constitutional
bv the. courts...
The. general government has deemed It
wise to adopt -the commission system, and
In regulating. , Interstate', .commerce It Is
becoming efficient. . Tfie, commission sys
tem has alsq been adopted, by many of
the states... ,Jt cannot,, be, denied, however,
that many statutes .fixing rites for com
mon carriers, have, been,, eminently satis
factory and. successful. ,.
In , this country government has under
taken to assert Its supremacy and to con
trol transportation In the Interest of the
people and farriers,.-alike. Railroad man'
ngere Oeny the power of. the, sovereign to
Interfere In the management of their af
fairs.' The battp 1 is on: ' The issue Is
whether the gnwrhmntt shall control the
corporations or ,the corporations the . gov
ernment. The present conditions are not
the outgrowth of : radicalism but of an
honest demand 'for a square. deal.
The conscience of 'the - American people
Is awakened for ttoercrlsls; Men of courage
and- action are. already In the halls of
legislation advocating the cause of the
people. Men of like cmrtacter are also at
the: helm In the executive departments of
government, and Jurists without allegiance
to special Interest' are asserting the powers
of the Judiciary without fear or favor.
Statesmen Instead of -demagogues are con
trolling caucuses stnd conventions,- and
purity In politics Is no iengwr "an Irides
cent dream."
The corrupting Influences of- free- passes
and secret rebates "are already under the
ban of the law, and Is) many of the states
the' charging of A excessive rates Is for
bidden by statute. V
The duty of enforcing these laws Im
poses upon the law of officers of the states
a grave responsibility,' and there is abun
dant evidence on every -hand that they are
equal to the- emergertcy.' United and un
tiring effort on part of the attorneys gen
eral of the country will establish the
supremacy Jf government; over corporate
power and greed and restore to the people
equal privileges and Just protection.
Peculiar interest'-was given the paper on
the "Conflict' Between-'State and Federal
Courts," by Attorney General Young of
Minnesota, by the fact that he expects to
be Arrested oh his return to Minnesota In
connection with A contempt case arising out

"Berkley. May IK. 1!W1."
Most Pitting F.pltnh.
It would be hard to Imagine an epitaph
which a good r it lien would he more anxious
to deserve or one which would more happtb
describe the qualities of that greet and
good cltlsen whose life we here commemo
rate. He possessed to a very extraordinary
dereree the gift of uniting discordant forces
and eecurlng from them a harmonious ac
tion which told for good government. From
purposes not merely diverse, but bitterly
conflicting, he was sble to secure healthful
action for the good of the state. In both
poise and Judgment he rose level to the
several emergencies he had to meet as
leader of the nation, and like all men with
the root of true greaness In them he grew
to steadily larger stature under the stress
of heavy responsibilities. He was a good
citizen and a brave soldier, a chief execu
tive whose wisdom entitled him to the trust
which he received throughout the nation.
He was not only a leader of men, but pre
eminently a helper of men; for one of his
most marked traits was the Intensely
bumann quality of his wide and deep
sympathy. Finally, he not merely preached,
he was. the most valuable of all oltlxens
in a democracy Ilka ours, a man who In the
highest place served as an unconscious ex
ample to his people of the virtues that
build and conserve alike our public life, and
the foundation of all public life, the Intl
mat. life of the home.
Many lessona are taught us by his career,
but none more valuable than the lesson of
broad human sympathy for and among
II nf our eiiirens of .11 classes and Creeds,
No other president has ever more deserved
to have, hie life work characterised In
Lincoln's words as being carried on "with
malice toward none, with charity toward
all." As a boy he worked hard with his
ihands; he entered the army as a private
soldier; he knew poverty; he earned his
livelihood; and , by his own exertions he
finally rose to the position of a man of
moderate menes. Not- merely was he In
personal touch with farmer and town
dweller, but caplallat and wageworkers
but be felt an Intimate understand
ing of each, and, therefore, an Inti
mate svmpathy with each; and his consist
ent effort waa to try to Judge all by tlio

same Justice: Arrogance toward the weak,
and envious hatred of those well off. were
equally abhorrent to his Just and gentle
soul. .
Envy and Hatred WrontT.
Surely this attitude of his should be the
attitude of all our people today. It would
be a cruel disaster to this country to
permit ourselves to adopt an attitude of
hatred and envy toward success Worthily
won, toward wealth honestly acquired.
Let us In this respect profit by the exam
ple of the republics of this western hemis
sphere to the south of us. Some of these
republics have prospered greatly; but there
are certain ones that have lagged far
behind, that still continue In a condition
of material poverty, of social and political
unrest and confusion. Without exception
the republics of the former class are those
In which honest industry has been assured
of reward and: protection; those where a
cordial welcome has been extended to the
kind of enterprise which benefits the whole
country, while Incidentally, as Is right and
proper; giving substantial rewards to U'pse
who manifest it. On the other hand, the
poor and backward republics, the republics
In which the lot of the average cltlsen Is
least desirable, and the lot of the laboring
. nt oil are rtrectselv thOSC. re
publics In which Industry has been killed
because wealth exposed Its owner to
spoliation. To these communities Ior'"n
cnltal now rarely comes, because it has
fnunil that ns soon as capital Is em
ploved so as to give substantial remuner
ation, to those supplying It. it excites
Ignorant envy and hostility, which result
in such Oppressive action, within or with
out the law, as sooner or miei ; "Y'
a virtual confiscation. Every manifestation
Of feeling pf this kind In our civilization
should be crushed at the outset by. the
weight of a sensible puono opinion.
