LARGEST OF AMERICAN CATS

short wooden trumpet near the motif li
of the canyon to imitate the "tigre's"
call as soon as it Is heard and to re

poi tation facilities to "care for tiie grrow
tng liui-inefc aud iiopuUfion of tUe
country, now resf largely with con
gross aud not entirely with tb rail
road mauagerj. Tills was the state
ment of Judge Itobert S. Ixretf, cbalr
Tnan of the executive committee of the
Union 1'aelflc system, to the NewlandM
Joint congressional committee when
that body' resumed its iiujuiry lute
the subject of railroad regulation tlii.i
week.
In wakingr this statement of tlia
changed conditions of the railroad sit
uation Judge I.ovett undoubtedly bad
in mhid the deciNlon of the supreme
court on the Adamson law, banded
down lat week, which establishes tbo
right of the federal government lo fi
railroad wages nnd to prevent strike.
This declsivn is regarded by railroad
men and lawyers as marking an epoch
tu the development of transportation
In the United States.
"We have our share of responsibil
ity," paid Judj;e I-ovett. "but It rests
primarily on congress. When the (for
eminent regulates the rates and flit'
fliisiiclnl administration of the rail
roads, the borrowing of money and tli
issuance of securities it relieves the"
railroad officers of the responsibility of
providing and developing transporta
tion systems, except within tbe limits'
lf the revenue that can be realized from
such rates and under such restrictions,
"For a country such a ours, for a'
people situated as we are, to blunder
long with a series.of unrelated, Incon
tinent, confjlctiug'stctntes enacted by
different states without relation to
each other, instead of prorlding a com
plete and carefully Rti;dted and pre
pared system of regulation for busi
ness Ilia t is so vital to tbe life of the
nation, Is worse than folly."
He summed up the present problem
and difficulties of the railroads fol
lows: First. The multiplicity of regula
tlous by ilie several states with respect
to the issue of securities, involving de
lays and conflicting state policies gen
erally dangerous and possibly disss
troiis. Second. Tbe state regulation of
rates in such a manner as to unduly
reduce revenues, to discriminate In fa
vor of localities and shippers witbiu
its own borders as against localities
and shippers in other states and to dis
turb and disarrange the atmcture of
interstate rates.
Third. The Inability of the Inter'
Mule Commerce Comm!ision, whoever
the commissioners may be, to perform
the vast duties devolving upon it uu
der existing laws, resulting In delay
which should never occur in commer
cial matters and compelling the com
missioners to- accept the concluslena of
their employees as final in deciding
matters of great importance to the
commercial and railroad interest of
the country.
Fourth. The practical legality that
has been accorded couspiraciea to tie
tip and suspend tbe operation of the
railroads of the country by strikes and
violence and the absence of any law
to compel tbe settlement of such dis
putes by arbitration or other judicial
means, as all other Issues between citi
zens in civilized states are to be set
tled. Fifth. The phenoraeaal Increase in
tbo tatntion of railroads in recent
years.
Sixth. The cumulative effect of
these conditions upon the investing;
public, to which railroad companies
must look for the capital necessary to
conl in ue development.
"We believe 1 lint t tie unification of
regulation Is essential," said Judg
Lovett, "and that with the rapid In
crease of state comailusious In receut
years congreta will la time be com
pelled to exercise Its power In the
premises. To unify regulation there
khould be a complete, lurruonlous, con
sistent and related system. We be
lieve (lie best, If not the only practical
plan, is the federal incorporation of
railroads by general law, which will
inako Incorporation thereunder com
pulsory, thus imposing on all railroad
companies throughout the United
(Slates the same corporate powers and
restrictions with respect to their finan
cial operations and the sane duties
aud obligations to the public and tbe
government, so tbut every lurestor will
know precisely what every railroad
corporation in ay and may not lawfully
do."
Judge f.ovett contended that the so.
lut ion of these problems and difficul
ties rested with congress. He told the.
committee that under the constitution
the authority of the federal govern
ment Is piiruinouut. that congress has
tho power to legislate for a centralized
control of railroads under federabebar
ters and that It only remains for tliat
Ovdy'tu exercine that power.
