would be no lack of a complultnnt to

rect the discrimination Is to chnme tho
rnte, nnd Hit re run bo nothing In the wny
of reparation for wrong done In the past,
particularly where the case Is one of ill
ative rutin to different localities under
tho undue pleferenci claue of the law.
Tho commission Ii.iIiik no power to pro
Bcrlbe n r.ito for tho future. It may fol
low ihat It can not fix a differential ns
bctwun relatul chargef, and this should
be covered by any legislation had upon
this Mililect. One class of discriminations
the commission never had power to cor
rect, even whtn It assumed authority to
prescribe maximum rates. Such discrim
inations nil?o where service for compet
ing localities Is rendered by different nnd
Indr pendent lines, ns will as bv n com

most bltu'ily contested easts before tho

It Is necisrivy to have power to IK the

The testimony before the commission
should be the record before the court,
and the court should Instruct the com
mission to take and send up any addi
tional testimony found necessaiy Penal
ties f.hould be provided for dlsobedlentc
sufficient to make compliance certain
Provision should -also be made for appli
cation to the court to enforce the order
bv muidatoiy nrooess The problem of
regulation Is Important and delicate but
the necessity for regulation Is universally
recognized. The act to ugulato com
merce was passed in obedience to pop
ular demand and to rented j admitted
evils, and tho expel lence of ton jears
Ins demonstrated tht nioeo!ty and jus
ttee of such rn net. As that law has
been Interpreted there can be no ef
fective1 regulation of interstate cairlers
and if this Is to be the act must he
amended A tilhumil which can stand
fur lustier and fairness bitween thesp
curlers and tho people must have power
to IK n. maximum late to IK a minimum
rate in certain Instances, nnd Its older
must mean something.
RATH ei'TTINC!
It Is one thing to secure publication
of the pioper rate and another thing to
Hieuio ndhoiciice to it I'ndei the sta
tute it Is a criminal olfense for a roll
v iv official to give or 11 shipper to take,
los than the tariff rate At llr.st It was
Impossible to obtain evidence of such rate
tutting, bicause witnesses could not bo
n unpolled to eliminate themselves This
was cm 1 tl bv an amendment of the law,
which the Supreme court held constitu
tional in the llrown case After that de
rision rollroid malingers loudly protest
t'tl their Intention to mulntaln rntes, but
It soon began to In charged, and even
t ic Itly admitted by railway officials, that

Nevertheless the fnei Is well understood
t'i hr otherwise. The large shipper tiust,

The small shipper p.ivs the full rate
The honest shlppi r may be prevented

is also true with rnrtlers Ah a rule

ing conditions dishonest railway officials
und dishonest shippers may compel ev
e.v competing railway nnd every com
peting shipper to be dishonest also or
wlthdiavv from the business How far
this outrageous situation extends the
cmmlsfion hah no knowledge, but It Is
re 1 tain tint It exists to a considerable
extent, and thaj there is pressing need
of n rome ily Is not denied The carriers
rlnlm that tho remedy lies In tho pas
hiirc of n pooling bill.
I'OOUNO.
An to the wisdom of this legislation
tho commission Is not agreed A major
ity of thei commission think that pool
ing would Improve the rate situation, nnd
the pi 1 sent condition Ik bo disastrous
that they would bo Inclined to Indorse
in good faith any way out of It, but If
pooling product uny beneficial lenults It
neeesfitilly doen so at the expense of
competition lly legalizing pooling tho
public lost k the onlv protection It now
lias ngulnst the unreasonable exactions
of tiKiisportntlon agencies Still, In view
of thb whole situation, n majority of the
commission would be Inclined to lecom
lliciul that the expedient tie tried If suit
able safeguards are provided In udvance,
but thlH recommendation must be taken
only with the limitation stated The
members of tho Interstate commerce
