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 airs of the South for a'number of 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.” Rocky Ford Cantaloupe Seed.
