Ia- Sept S -President Tart la what Is expected to prove the most Important speech of his trip, made aa appeal her today for reasonable treatment of the railroad and industrial Interests of tbs country and a protest gainst "blind sectional prejudice." He denounced those politicians who seek to advance their own interest by array ing tha people of one section sgalnst those of another. "It la time to half." said the president. "We are an tn the sams boat, all tossed by the same waves. The property cf one section Is dependent on the prosperity of the other." Prealdent Taft had for his topic tt Waterloo "Relation of Government to tha Business of th Country." He pointed out tn opening the four most Important points at which the policies of the con- aad ths executive touch the bust of ths country tn such a vital way that the people are entitled to have the greatest care. Industry and application characterise governmental action In re pect to them. These are the regulation of Interstate commerce, regulation of Il legal combination tn restraint of trade, tariff legislation, and tbe banking and currency syvtem. Reeest Law Oatllaea. Ha sketched the effect of 1 scent legi latlon Intended to regulate and control Interstate commerce through the co mm le al on, and of his effort to secure further amendments to the law. designed to make tt BtiU more effective, aad said. I think tt Is now generally conceded by those who understand the operation of tJie present law that tha regulative power of tha Interstate Commerce cam mlarton is sufficiently great to remedy generally the. injustices to shippers which gave rise to tbe demand for - legislation. Except the Introduction of a limitation as to ths power of Issuing stock and bonds, I do not think tt wise to sdd to th present rtatutea. "Occasionally one bears tha complaint that hera la ao room tar enterprise, among railroads, that there la no induce ment to further Investment and exten sion ef their lines; that somebody also Is running tha railroad for them; and that 11 hope of prosperous business la trans portation has disappeared. I think this attitude Is ss unreasonable on the one hand as that of spite against a railroad because It is a railrod Is on the other, w all have to face the condition that tha public lnfclatB, and has a right to insist, upon the close t emulation of railroads la view of past evil and of the danger of their recurrence In the future If vigi lance is abated, aad that nothing but tueh regulation will secure the compli ance with the law that the publlo in sist oa having. Tbea regulation is not restrictive of wide discretion in railroad management, and there is and ought to be sufficient scope for enterprise, for close economies la ths business of the common carrier, and for the securing of a reasonable profit for the shareholder, to make the railrosd business as great a field as ever for business genius. All reforms have not bean secured In railroad management. This takes time. Many rates are still unreasonable or discrimi nating; but the point I am making tbKhat wa now have effective and Impartial ma chinery la ths present erganlaatlon and power of tha commission for affecting those reforms without additional restrict ive legislation." Opponent!)' tor com petit loa. "I have elsewhere given my view of what the decision of the supreme court is. Tha court declines to hotd that com petition, ia Impossible under modem buat oeae ooodiriocs, but it insists that It must bo gtvea full opportunity for operation, and that any combined effort affecting interstate trad looking to its suppresalon is contrary to law. In other words, busi ness must face the necessity of throwing away tbe crutch of combination against competition ia its further progress. When this nils Is recognized, a hen the corpora tions that have offended tha law are dis integrated sufficiently to eaabls competi tion to have full play, then there Is so reason why business should not go oa unhampered.
