THE COURT BEVIEW
A- v,
Senator Allison Says There Is no Opin
ion From Any Judiciary Which Says
.. That Every Little Act of Commission
May Be Reviewed By Court—Powers
of Commission.
"The frame work of the bill if It Ib
to be worth anything, should contain
a provision Whereby a commission ad
ministrative in character shall carry
out the legislative will as found in
this bill if it shall become a law
Commission Has Power
"The commission is clothed by this
bill with the power of congress as 1
understand, and when it makes a deci
sion and a declaration it has the force
and power of a legislative act or else
we have spent here three months or.
more in vain. Either the making of a
rate is a legislative act or it Is nothing
uncjer the constitution and our systeih
of government. The judicial power
caqnot be, invoked to make a-rate nor
can the executive power. Therefore in
acting here we are seeking within con
stitutional limits to devolve upon a
commission of seven picked and en
lightened men's power to deal with
this great and complicated' question
as related to 250,000 miles of railway.
Must Be Done In Congress.
"Does anybody believe that it is pos
sible for the courts to deal with this
question under the constitution? The
jurisdiction of this question does not
lie in the amendment I have offered
nor does it lie in the amendment of
the senator from Maryland. If we are
ever to exercise governmental power
over the railways it must be done here
in this body and in the other chamber.
It cannot be done anywhere else. If
we have not the power to delegate to
a commission the details of this legis
lation as respects what Is a reasonable
rate then it cannot be done by any
body and we. are relegated in this
country under constitutional limita
tions to saying that the railroads with
out let or hindrance may make their
q.wn rates without revision.
'id Constitutional Limitations.
"We must select for the execution of
this law seven men who are the fit men
of this country, fapiiliar with this
great subject, and we must rely upon
their intelligence and integrity to deal
with this question and we must give
them and we propose to do so, the*nec
essary power to do it. But of course
they must exercise that power within
constitutional limitations. Those lim
itations are familiar' to all. They are
that the rates fixed by the commission
shall provide a just compensation to
the carrier and that we would have
to do if we sat down in this chamber
£nd fixed a schedlule of,rates for every
railroad in the country. Although we
have the legislative power to do that
ft is impossible for us to exercise It
and everybody knows it is impossible.
Therefore we must, within the powers
we have, without trenching absolutely
upon the legislative power, grant to
the commission the power to enable
them' to establish a just and reasonable
rate under the conditions of this bill.
What is a just and reasonable rate?
I heard the senator from Maryland
flescribe a just and reasonable rate as
just compensation, using the consti
tutional term. We have been trying
to do that for a long time. This is the
irst time that the question of fixing a
rate has ever come up in congress. No

I Fbr months the questions involved
In the so-called oourt review of the
railroad rate bill have received the
Closest attention! and the most exhaus

yers in the senate. For days and
flays Spooner, Knox, Bailey, Bacon,
foraker and 'other senators supposedly
iwiae beyond peradventure in the in
tricacies of the law, have discoursed
at great length upon these points, for
tified by stacks of books which gave
the senate the appearance of the court
room. What they have left unsaid it
has been supposed could be put in a
yery small compass
However, It remained for Senator
Allison to say some things that were
more to the point and more logical
and reasonable and understandable on
the subject than any of, the great law
yers who have preceded him. That

Grain Dealers Say Favoritism
Shown in Rolling 8tock.
Des Moines, May 16.— The im
perative demand for some law
with which to control railroad dis
tribution of cars was the topic that
received liberal discussion before the
Iowa Grain Dealers' association con
vention yesterday afternoon in this
city.
"I know of one road which operates
in Iowa," said George
A.
Wells, sec­
retary, in making his annual report,
"which took hundreds of cars from
its equipment in order to transport
grain from Omaha and Kansas City to
the Atlantic coast at a very low rate
in competition with the .gulf lines, and
at the same time supplied Iowa- with
but about one-third of the cars neces
sary to move the grain in its terri
tory." This he tirged was an unjust
and injurious discrimination against
Iowa grain dealers.

Former Senator Makes Statement Re
garding His Course As Intermediary
in Negotiations Between President
Roosevelt and Senators Tillman and
Bailey.
Washington, D. C., May 16.—The
calm of the senate's discussion on the
railroad rate bill was disturbed today
by the personal interruption of Sena
tor- Bailey, who rose to a question of
personal privilege to make a reply to
a charge made in a- Chicago paper yes
terday by a Washington correspondent
to the effect that Bailey had been re
sponsible for the failure of an agree
ment between, the President and Sena
tor Tillman.
Former Senator Chandler was given
as authority for the statement that
Tillman had been suspicious of Bailey,
who, it was also stated, was really op
posed to rate legislation and was also
In constant conference with Aldrich
with the purpose of defeating the rate
bill.
Bailey Takes Floor.
After the statement had been read
Bailey took the floor and said:
"I have taken no part in the question
of veracity between the President and
Chandler, and I have not even given
any public expression, on the question
of good faith because I knew- nothing,
about either question. I had never
conferred with the President directly
nor with Chandler. It was therefore
a matter of great surprise to me when
the senator called my attention to the
extract which I have read, and said
that the correspondence, it w.as under
stood, was sent by a correspondent
who is very close to the White House
and is presumed to speak with some
degree of authority concerning trans
actions therQj

"I don't know as to the truth of

I denounce the publication as an un
qualified, deliberate and malicious lie.

unqualified, deliberate' and malicious
liar. I denounce the man who inspired
the statement.as an unqualified delib
erate and malicious- liar, whoever he

Chandler's Reply.
Senator Tillman today received from
former Senator William E. Chandler, a
statement of his course as intermedi
ary in the negotiations between Presi
dent Roosevelt and Senators Tillman
and Bailey on the railroad rate bill.
The communication bears upon
Lodge's denial for the President of
Chandler's statement quoting the Pres
ident as saying he had lost confidence
In Senators Foraker, Spooner and
Knox. It was offered in the senate by
Tillman and will be printed in the con
gressional record.
Has Power of 8peech.
The most Interesting feature of the
letter is contained- in-the closing para
graph in which Chandler says: "On
the whole perhaps I ought to consider
myself fortunate. If the old imperialist
days had been fully revived at the
White House, one whom I considered
one of my best friends would have cut
off my head and taken it to President
Rqpsevelt on a. charger and I should
have spoken no more. Now at least,
I have left to me the power of speech.
But I shall never use it again as a
missionary from President Roosevelt
to the democratic party."
