EMPEROR IS CRITICIZED
FOR IGNORING REICHSTAG
Breach tu Ifta Constitutional l>nsl(ion
nn Trenty Making Power
Follows,
Berlin. November 14.?The general j
criticism In connection with the Mo- j
i roccan agreement with France that
the Reichstag should have a voice
in the conclusion of such momentous
treaties has made a breach in the
constitutional position of thn Em?
peror as a treaty-making power.
Vice-Chancellor Delbrueck to-day
announced to the committee of the
Reichstag to whom the Franco-Ger?
man treaty had been referred, that
the government bad found It to be
Just that Parliament should be con?
sulted In a treaty Involving the ac?
quisition or cession of colonial ter?
ritory. Therefore, It accepted the
proposed statute requiring the assent
of the Reichstag and the Bundesrath ;
to any change in '.YiC boundary of a i
colony, but the Moroccan-Kongo treaty |
was excluded under the existing law.
The first tangible ? result of the I
agreement appeared to-day. when a !
contract was signed by which the j
French and German mining syndicates !
in Morocco were fused on a hosts of J
equality. The mining rights in Mo- l
roeco havo been one of the chief
causes of friction between the two
countries.
CHANGE INAUGURAL DATE ?
Another Effort Will Be .Made at Coin
lag Session of Congress.
Washington, November 14.?Peter-j
mined effort to amend the Constitution,
changing the date of the Inauguration
of the President and Vice-President
of the United. States from March 4 to
the last Thursday In April, and aller- ]
lug the official term of the session of
Congress, is to be one of the features
(ft the Sixty-second Congress, which (
assembles in regular session next i
month.
A Joint resolution introduced last
summer in the House by Representa?
tive Henry, of Texns, and in the Senat.,
by Senator Clark, of Wyoming, will
be taken up by the House Committee
on Judiciary soon after Congress con?
venes. Besides changing the date of
the Inauguration, the resolution pro?
vides for the elimination of the short
session of Congress, fixing the second
Thursday of January as the dato of
the commencement and termination of
the official term of Senators and Rep?
resentatives.
Representative Henry, author of the
resolution, said to-day that the com?
ing session Is an auspicious one in
which to make the changes because If
the amendment passes it could be voted
on by the Legislatures of all the Stales
within two years and become a law
before the presidential campaign of
1916.

LONG AND SHORT HAUL
PROVISION^ UPHELD
'Declared Valid in Majority Opinion of Com
| merce Court, Judge Archbald Dissenting.
b inaily W ill ueach bupreme Court.
Washington. D. C, November 14.?In
a majority opinion of the Commerce I
Court formally handed down to-day.
in the transcontinental rate cases, it is
held that the lang ond short huul pro?
vision of the interstate commerce act |
Is constitutional. .ludgo Archbald con- I
curs in the issuance of a temporary in- j
junction of the orders of the Inter-,
state Cornmerc* Commission, but in j
his opinion hold? the long and short I
j haul provision to be Invalid.
The Commerce Court reached the
conclusion that the cases involved In 1
! the present proceeding afforded the
I best possible opportunity for a deter?
mination of the constitutionality of j
j the long and short haul provision ofj
1 the act to regulate commerce- It was '
lieallzed that the question eventually j
would have to be fought out before the
1 United States Supreme Court.
I In the formal opinion, prepared by I
Judge Mack, the Commerce Court not 1
[ only agrees with the Interstate Com- |
merce Commission that the long and j
short haul provision?the fourth sec- |
tlou of the law?Is constitutional, but]
that It would be unconstitutional, as]
! an unlawful delegation of legislative
power "if no standard were given to
guide the exercise of the commission's!
discretion in granting authority to de?
part from the rule forbidding a lesser
rate for the long than for the short
haul In the same direction ami over]
the. same line."
Must Exercise Discretion.
By an exhaustive examination ofi
the entire luw. however, the court
reaches the conclusion that It is thej
duty Of the commission to exercise it6|
discretion to establish a lower rate
for a longer haul than for a shorter.

If the conditions, In Its opinion, war?
rant such action.
The court points out that the or?
ders of the C mmerco Commission
which are enjoined "do not establish
absolute rates for either the long or
short haul, but they do establish a
relation between any long haul rate
that a carrier mav put Into effect and
the 6hort haul rate, determining thatl
from zone 1 the Western Bhort haul
rate shHll not exceed the long haul
rate, and that front zontb 2. 3 and -I
j the short haul shall not exceed the
long haul rate by more than 1 per
cent.. 16 per cent, and 25 per cent., re
? spectlvely.
I "In so far as the commission at?
tempts thus to determine the relation
lot the long ami short raul rates, Ir
I respective of u$uQ\uj* rates, It goes
beyond any authority that has been
rested In It. for It is "not in tin- power
of the commission to say that 100
per cent , or 1?7 per cent., o'f any given
percentage of an' unknown less than
reasonable to the const Is necessarily
a maximum reasonable and non
diacrimlnatory rate from the sHtne
point of origin to an Interior point.
Gftcct of the Order.
"The practical effect of the commis?
sion's, order Is either to compel a blan?
ket rate from the entire East to the
entire West, or to prevent the car?
riers from getting all the business
which they now secure without loss,
by making rales which enable mer- |
Chants to meet market competition.
"In a word, unless some through I
business is given up, the effect of the!
orders would be to put Spokane andi
other Interior points on an quality
with Seattle and other Pacific
coast points at least from zone
1?a position to which they would]
not be entitled under all circumstances
In view of their relatives locations, the
formeir 400 miles more or less in the
Interior, the latter on the coast."
Judge Archbald. in an opinion con?
curring with the majority of the court
as to the propriety of the granting of
temporary injunctions ngnlnst the or?
ders of the commission which he holds
"were clearly Invalid." says:
"I cannot sen mv way to go beyond
this and declare the fourth section
valid, on which. If anything Is to be
said, my opinion Is to the contrary "
