MONDAY, MARCH 5, 1906.
NOT PRACTICABLE.
Tho bill to regulate railroad rates,
known ns the Hepburn bill, now pend
ing In tho United States Senate, hav
ing already passed the House, may
hnve tho very best intentions behind
It, und the Democrats seem to be sup
porting It, but we do not believe that
any Such measure will ever be practi
cable, even if It should become a law.
All efforts to regulate railroad rates
by legislation, wherever undertaken
by states, have proved failures. A.
notable Instance, as pointed out by
tha Philadelphia Record, Is furnished
by Iowa, which state once undertook
to flic "reasonable" freight rates by an
act of the legislature in which every
nrtlclo likely to bo carried by rail was
described, as well as the railroad rate
to be charged per hundred pounds per
mile. The railroad corporations In the
state wore also classified In accord
ance with tliolr gross annual earnings,
and the road In the lowest class was
perprltted to charge the highest rate
of freight.
What bus become of that state’s rail
road regulation now? We are told by
tho Record that by successive amend
ments and judicial revisions It has
been reduced to n more monument of
legislative folly.
Tho Hopburn bill Is constructed In
tho samo spirit, although It does not
undertake to describe all articles of
freight or to clusslfy railroads In ac
cordance with their annual earnings
and financial capacity. This work of
detail is to be loft to the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and when It
Is nppllod to the 200,000 miles of rail
roads in this country the Immensity,
not to say utter Impracticability, of
the task will be readily conceived,
But ns if to minimize this prospective
work In public estimation, tho Inter
state Commerce Commissioners hnve
Former Governor James S. Hogg, of . . „ . ..
,i testified ovor and ovor again that the
s, at plcturosque figure in thu st

rs, died Saturday at Houston.
railroad rales are “roasonnbly low,”,
"not excessively high,” etc. One of
them testifies ns to his belief that
session of game birds during the
closed season, though the birds may
have beon legally killed outside the
state during the closed season In New
Tork. It Is said restaurant and hotel
keepers and game dealers who are
aggheved by the result will, if possi
ble, carry the case to the United States
Supreme Court. There might be In
volved a question of the regulation of
interstate commerce. ,
CEHIRAL OF CtORGIA RAILWAY
If, as reported to The Herald, It be
true that parties in Arcadia yesterday
afternoon made the air hideous with
the rattle of firearms, the matter
should receive prompt and vigorous
attention ah the hands of city and
-A
county |uithorltles. Wanton desecra
tion of the Sabbath should never be
tolerated in enlightened communities,
and as the case in point seems to have
been one of flagrant disregard both of
law and the feelings of residents of
it should be carefully in
Arcadln,
qulred into.
The Cochran Courier says: '“When
a bald-headed mnn of subdued voice
and dejected mein who wears ihc samo
Sunday suit through three seasons,
works the garden on summer after
noons, chops wood before breakfast
and lots his wife buy all Ids collars,
socks and cravats, undertakes to con
vince nn observant and liberty-loving
bachelor that "it is not well for man
to live alone,” he is up against a game
where tho odds can hardly be said to
be even.’—Albnny Herald.
“The cap comes so near fitting our
oranlum, Brother McIntosh, that we
shall not attempt to convince any fel
low. bald-headed or otherwise, on the
line mentioned above.”
