providing for anMother election on the i

the current year. The agreement was r
signed by all the attorneys appearing
at the coltZst.
The b(.ird has som 1e dor.ht as to its t
amh1 riy to declare an election void f
without some evidence. but attorneys r

had the authority and the order was z

A large number of witnesses were
present from all sections of the coun- t
tv in obedience to summons to testi- 9
fyas to the -manner in which the
election was conducted. but none of ,
them were sworn. It is almost uni
versally admitted that neither regis
tration certificate nor proof of pay- f
ment of taxes were required as a
prerequisite to voting.
The South's Attitude Toward The
Railroads. r
Baltimore Sun.
It may be true, as our esteemed E
contemporary, the New York Press
asserts, in reply to the suggestion c
that state regulation of rates has
eaten up the Seaboard Air Line's re
F venues, that "there has not been
enough of enforcement of lower 2
charges to affect the company's rev
enue." It may be conceded that the
reduced rates have been effective for t
only a few months and that the di- I
minution of the company's receipts X
from this cause alone did not hasten
the receivership. Bat there are other
facts and considerations whioh can- 1
mot be ignored in a -eandid and thor- (
'oughi discussion of the laws enacted
by southern legislatures for the regu
'lationiof freight and passenger rates. C
The Sun advocated just and reason
.able regulation by congress of rail
roads engaged in inters.tate commerce,
Swith ample safeguards for protection
of the public of the railroads. The
law enacted by congess. known ast
the Hepburn act, increases tihe power
of t'he interstate commerce .commnus
Ssion, enables the commnission to sub
U stitute a rate whitch it considers fair,
and reasonable for an 'exessive rate,
and gives the railroads the right of
.appeal to the federal courts from
the deeision of the commission.
The right of the several states to
~Tegulate railroad rates within 'their
boundaries is not questioned. Of
Scourse, t.here can be no regulation
that is confiscatory. ~But a princi
pie is involved in the regulation
whieh tonees the welfare of the pub
~lie as deeply as it does that of the
railroads. We do not know of any
other section' of the United States
-more dependent for development up
on the railroads than the southern
states. These -states have enormous
natural r-sources, which cannot be de
veloped' properly without the assist
:ance of outside capital. Much of the
-capital which investors in other sta- 4
-tes hav:e placed in the south is in
"vested in railroad properties. These
'investments were made at a time
'when public opinion in the south was
bitterly hostile to the railroads, when
Tegulation was not a political issue
in every township and county in
'which the politicians could make it
a "burning question.'' It is not de
nied that the railroad management
was frequently taetless, and often ar
bitrary. It is recognized that the
} people of some of the southern sta
Ltes had a just grievance at times in
~respect to discrimninations. 'They had
'the right to redress these grievances
and to demand uniformly just and
equitable treatment. But it is an open
question whether the politicians did
not ind-uee the people to apply a re
medy which may 'be injurious to the
mateial interests of the south as
~ well as to the railroads.
Capital will not promote railroad
enterprises or any other undertak
ings unless it has reasonable assur
anee of a fair return on its invest
ment. No business man in th~e south
would invest his funds in a project
which was subject every two years,
or whenever the state legislatures
meet, to regulation whieh might stop
short only of confiscation. In scal
ing down the rate3 which railroads
in the south may charge for hauling
.freight and transporting passengers
southern legislatures may have am
ple warrant in the law. That is a
-uetio fo th highest court in the

n1 itied- to protection, not only from
ailroad corporations. hut also from
,"isla"tures which act hastily and
oug'hltlessly sometimes. when action
a(uld be taken only after delibera
ion and seareliing inquiry. We can
ot conceive that enlightened sou-;"

ii a position in which is will offer
ewer inducements to capital. What
he best southern opinion should do
to demand fair play for both capi

aore railroads. It wants better
ctuipment for the railroads it now
ossesses. It will find it exceedingly
ifficult to secure outside capital for
hese puposes unless it can convince
rivestors that their bonds and stocks
ill be protected from the hostility
nd, in many cases the ignorance of
agislators.
About the tenth of the wealth of
his nation is represented by railroad
