SAFETY DEMANDS
FEDERAL CONTROL
OF THE RAILROADS
Only Way to Meet Emergencies
of Nation, Says A. P. Thom.
STATES' RIGHTS PRESERVED
Principles Which Railways Hold Should
Govern Regulatory System In Inter
ests of Public and the Roads--Com
pulsory System of Fedcx*! incorpo
ration Favored.
Washington. Dec 4.—That the inter
ests of national 'defense require that
control of railway lines should rest
with the federal government and not
with the states was the claim ad
vanced by Alfred P. Thom, counsel
to the Railway Executives’ Advisory
Committee, In concluding his prelim
inary statement of the case for the
railways before the Newlands Joint
Committee on Interstate Commerce.
“We must he efficient ns a nation if
we are to deal successfully with our
national emergencies,” said Mr. Thom,
“and we must appreciate that efficient
transportation is an essential condition
of national efficiency. If we are to
halt and weaken our transportation
systems by state lines, by (he perma
nent imposition of burdens by unwise
regulation, we will make national etli
eieney Impossible.”
States’ Rights Would Not Suffer.
Mr. Thom cited many Instances In
which shippers in ono state were In
juriously affected l>y selfish regula
tions Imposed on the railroads by
neighboring states, lie pointed out
that federal regulation would be no in
vasion of the rights of flic states hut
would be the means of preserving the
rights which they acquired when they
entered the Union, one of which was
the right to the free movement, of their
products across state boundaries.
What the Railroads Advocate.
The principles which the railroads
believe should be incorporated In any
Just system of regulation were sum
marized by Mr. Thom as follows:
1. The ent ire power and duty of reg
ulation should be In tin* hands of the
national government, except as to mat
tors so essentially local and Incidental
that they cannot he used to Interfere
with the efficiency of (he service or the
Just rights of the carriers.
2. As one of the means of accom
piishiiig this, a system of compulsory
federal incorporation should he adopt
ed, into which should bo brought all
railroad corporations engaged In Inter
state or foreign commerce.
3. The Interstate Commerce Oommis
slon under existing laws has too much
to do and is charged with conflicting
functions. Including the investigation
prosecution and decision of cases. The
latter duties should tie placed in the
hands of anew body whieli might In
called the Federal Railroad Oommis
slon. Regional Commissions should
be established In different parts of
the country to assist the Interslate
Commerce Commission by handling lo
cal cases.
4. The power of the Commission
should be extended to enable it to pro
scribe minimum rates and not merely
maximum rates as at present. This
would increase their power to prevent
unjust discriminations.
Justice to Publio and Roads.
5. It should be made the duty of the
Interstate Counner Commission, in
the exercise of Its towers to tlx rea
sonable rates, to so adjust these rate
that they shall be Just at once to the
public and to the carriers. To this end
the Commission. In determining rates,
should consider the necessity of main
tabling etlicieut transportation and ex
tensions of facilities, the relation of
expenses to rates and the rights of
shippers, stock holders and creditors of
the roads.
0. The Interstate Commerce Cornmls
sion should he invested with the pow
er to fix the rates for carrying malls.
7. The federal government should
have exclusive power to supervise the

carriers engaged In interstate and for

8. The law should recognize the es
sential difference between things which
restrain trade In the case of ordinary
mercantile concerns and those which
restrain trade in the case of common
carriers. The question of competition
Is not the only fair criterion.
9. The law should expressly provide
for the meeting and agreement of traf
tle or other officers of railroads In re
spect or rates or practices. This
Should, however, be safeguarded by
requiring the agreements to he tile.!
with the interstate Commerce Commis
sion and to be subject to be disapprov
ed by it.
“My legal proposition." Mr. Thom
said, "Is that the Constitution as it
now is gives l ull authority to Congress
to regulate the instrumentalities of in
terstate commerce In ail their parts
If the power of regulation is to reach
the public requirements. It must he co
extensive will) the instrumentalities of
commerce."
Mr. Thom explained that the roads
nro not asking either of the Committee
or of Congress any Increase in reve
nues, but that they nro merely asking
tho perfection of a system which will
bo responsible to any need that may
arise.

OAST O R I A
In early clays printing was styled
the “black art,” and printers were
supposed to be in league with Satan.
But it was in the time of Aldus Man
utius, in Venice, that, matters took a
s6rious turn. This was the famous
printer who first published the Greek
and Roman classics. He took into
his employ a negro boy who was
homeless on the streets in Venice.
The people supposed the boy was an
imp of Satan and helped in the print
ing. Mobs collected and were about
to wreck the: building when the boy
was brought forward and exhibited,
and it was shown that he was flesh
and blood; but he stil* was called
“the printer’s devil,” arid every boy
in his position since has been so
called.
