Chronicle Thinks It Sees

Tho San l'ronclsto Chronlclo sajs
cdltorlolly:" '
The iltscrlnilnntlons proved itgnlnst
tho American-Hawaiian Stcamslilp
Company and Its evident dove rela
tions with ostensibly competing rail
roads nro unquestionably tjplcal of
(oiidltlons existing among nil coastwise-
ocean carriers In tha United
States. II has not been the policy
to Intcrfero with Intcr-Stntu water
tiniiNportatlon. The ocean lines h:io
been left unregulated on tho theuiy
that they are the natural legulatorn
uf rates and should be left free to
compete ns acthely as possible, nml
that rallioads reaching tho coasts
should ndjust their rates to such com
petition. If, however, tho rallioads
and the steamship lines arc held in
community of ownership, there, will
bo no leal conflict, nnd the public)
will bo deprived of thu ocean compe
tition, which would nntuinlly exist, .
and which theoictlcally does exist.
It is n mailer which deictves tare- '
fill consideration. It ought not to
become necessary, to subject coast
wise and Internal water transmuta
tion to the light regulations which
We Impose on railroads. Nor could
It becomu necessary If tho capital re-
nulled to own nnd opcinte one, steam
ship were sullUlunt to give cffectlvo
competition. It Is not bo. Heltnblo ,
ami adequate service for n cominer- '
clal community rnn only bo given hy
organized Hues with regular saltlugii,
and when such it lino is established.
It Is to the ilubllc interest that ll gut
all tho business if it actually and vig
orously competes, nnd the Intrusion
of tramp ships Is by no means a pub
lic benefit, but the contrary.
When, however, tho regular lino
does not compete, but is dominated or
Influenced by compotlng rallioads It
becomes another matter. Tho trump
ship then performs the public serv
ice which the steamship lne should
give, nnd is entitled to public sup
port. When u tinmp ship attempt
to get caigo In such n case,' tho regu
lar line will, of course, cut rates to
meet the situation, but if It does so,
tho law Bhould requite the luw'ratcii
to he impartially. given to nil ship
pers. Considering conditions ns they
ure, the legislation apparently neces
sary Is that coastwise steamship linen
shall bo compelled to file their tariffs
with the Interstate Commission nnd
bo held to account, civilly und crimi
nally, for nny secret disci Imtuutloii
between shippers or between poits.
