amendments to the law. designed to make

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."

"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.
