DEMOCRATIC POLICY OUTLINED.
Republicans Invited to Join In Mak
ing the Hepburn Bill Effective The
Shipper Mut Be Protected From
the Law's Delay A Reasonable
Proposition,
That was a most interesting debate
oil tbe railroad rate regulation bill
which occurred in the senate ou March
7, in which Senator Bailey of Texas
outlined a policy for the Democrats on
what Senator Tillman termed the "spi
nal cord of this whole question." Sen
ator Bailey stated that when a rate is
once established by the interstate com
merce commission "It is not unreason
able to require that that rate shall re
main in force until tbe question has
been thoroughly determined upon its
merits by the court. To suy that a
rate established by a commission of
men supposed to be especially fit for
the performance of that duty shall be
set aside by a Judge who may know
everything about the law, but may
know very little about the justice of a
railroad rate, is, to my mind, conceding
more than congress is under the neces
sity of conceding to what are called
'the inherent equity powers of the
court.' "
But Senator Bailey clinched his con
tention by saying that "in view of the
fact that in most of the states in the
Union when the railroad comes to
take the citizen's property and they
disagree about the price which shalj
be paid the carrier is authorized to ap
ply to the court for the appointment of
a commission, and when that commis
sion assesses the value of the property
actually taken and the damages to the
remainder of the tract the carrier can
deposit the assessment with the court
and appropriate the citizen's property
to its use, it seems to me we are not
asking too much when the citizen is
compelled to apply to the commission
to assess the value of the carrier's serv
ice to permit the citizen to have it at
the value assessed by a commission,
just as the railroad was permitted to
take the citizen's property at the value
assessed by a commission.
"It does not seem to nie that there is
any difference in principle, and I sug
gest that we all agree upon an amend
ment which provides against the sus
pension of rates by interlocutory de
cree, and then in Justice to the car
rierbecause I want to be just to the
railroad as well as I do to the shipper
expedite the decision. I have never
seen the hour when I would consent
to close the doors of the courts of this
country to any person, nor have I ever
seen the time that I wanted to obstruct
the free and open access of every man
to the courts of this country for the
protection of his property rights. But
opening the doors as wide to the rail
roads as to the shipper ami I want
them to stand equally open and as
widely open to one as to the other
still it seems to me that we should pro
vide for the rate established by the
commission to remain in effect until
finally suspended by the court upon a
full Investigation Into the merits of
the case and provide that when this
suit shall be instituted it shall have
precedence over every other case on
the ducket of a different nature, first in
the trial court and then iu the court to
which it might be appealed. When
that is done there can be no serious
delay in the final adjudication of the
case upon Its merits."
That should appeal to every one as
a fair proposition, and if the Republic
ans are really In earnest to enact a law
that will protect the shippers from un
reasonable rates and prevent the rail
roads from taking advantage of the
law's delay they will join Senator Bai
ley, as he invited them to, in perfecting
and voting for such an amendment to
the Hepburn bill as will Insure relief,
because it will stand the constitutional
test that the supreme court must
eventually decide.

Partisanship Defeated.
The rank injustice of tlio Republican
statehood bill ns passed by tbe house
has been remedied by the Democratic
senators joining with n few Republic
ans, Toting to amend the bill so as to
give statehood to Oklahoma and Indian
Territory nnd leaving to the future the
question of admitting New Mexico and
Arizona. The Republican partisan plan
of forcing tbe two last named terri
tories into the Union as one state when
their people are bitterly opposed to
such a partnership because It Is expect
ed that the Democrats will carry Okla
homa and thus increase their vote In
the United States' senate, but cannot
carry New Mexico and Arizona com
bined, was thus fortunately defeated.
It now remains for the Republican par
tisans of the house to back down In ac
cordance with common sense and fair
play or' take the responsibility of de
feating tbe bill.
