All the Legislation with Which the Legislatures Burden
the Railways Finally Must Be Paid By the Con-
sumer Asserts Assistant General Manager of
The Southern Pacific Now Here.
fctX"V -yHE. the people of the
A I nited States realize that
the railroads of this coun-
try cannot economically and efficiently
serve the public when distressed by 49
different regulating bodies each pos-
sessing and exercising independent
jurisdiction of the other then I be-
lieve they will terminate th:s method
of regulation and centralize It in one
tribunal thereby eliminating a condi-
tion which substantially affects con-
fluence in railroad securities and de-
velopment." said K. J. Clancy assist-
ant to the general manager of the
Southern Pacific here on a trip of in-
spection from San Francisco.
"Probablv few people realize said
Mr Clancy "the heavy burdens laid
on the railroads by dual regulation
ilthougb most railroad systems tra-
' rse from three to as many as a dozen
states and approximately 85 percent of
the commerce of this country and prob-
ably 95 percent of the commerce of
most weetern states Is interstate in
character as a general rule state reg-
ulation has been evolved with no
thought of the harmful effects it might
have as related to interstate business
and service.
State DUeriminntionK.
-During a recent hearing before the
senate committee on interstate com-
merce on the Sheppard bill to abolish
the doctrine of the Shreveport case
the question of state discriminations
was emohasized While Louisiana was
protesting against this bill telegrams
of protest from St. Louis and Kansas
City commercial bodies were received
and read. St Louis .contended that the
Sheppard bill w lild permit Illinois to
exclude St. Louis from the commerce
or that state. Kansas City claimed that
1 would be excluded from the markets
of Kansas and Oklahoma. A Tennessee
congressman appeared and protestea
tl at the bill would enable Arkansas to
exclude Memphis from its markets and
while Louisiana was protesting the ac-
tion of Texas the city of Natchez in
Mississippi was protesting the exclu-
sion of its business men from Louisiana
Tn illustrate further- Fifteen states I
br prescribing a minimum daily move-
ment for freight cars or by imposing
heaw penalties for delays attempt to
favor tHelr own traffic. Twenty
states regulate hours of railroad serv-
ice the variations running from i
to i hours a day. Twenty-eight states
specify headlight requirements with-
out an approach to uniformity.
State Control Grown.
"Between 1311 and 1911 upward of
4000 bills affecting railroads were in-
troduced in congress and our several
state legislatures of which 440 became
laws. Nineteen states have legally as-
serted their right to control stock and
bond Issues of railroads operating

a. stuffed-crew law. but on a referen- s
dnm to the voters of the state the law
was rejected by a vote of .54055 to
