At this writing the linen section In the basement la crowded with eager buyers In response to- Tuesday's advertisement. If you were among the throng, you would Howard I hold to" vh a revision of the' court, since the history of the Interstate Com merce commission has shown to my mind that power of the court to review their decisions has simply saved this country from the experience of, European coun trtea. That experlenre has shown that dis criminations of a more serious nature than we have exist, and prove conclusively that the results coming to us, had the Inter state Commerce commission the power to enforce Its decisions, would have been dis astrous beyond comparison. When Mr. Boott closed the president's message on the Joint congressional resolu tion directing an investigation Into the coal and oil traffic was read. Mr. Clapp then spoke on the railroad rale bill. He first considered the question of the right of congress to fix rates, either directly or through a commission, and said that a commission could lie legally em ployed. Taking up the question of Judicial re view of tbe commission's rulings. Mr. Clapp said : - v Objection is made to the fact that the bill does not go into details or the Judicial procedure which the carrier may Invoke. The bill proceeds upon the theory lhat when a rate Is Axed by the commiss'nn it consummates the act of congress, and thai it Is no more necessary to prescrllie the detail of the Judicial procedure involved In a claim that the act amounts to I lie ille gal taking of property tfian it would tve if congress named the rate in the bill Itself. The act of i-ongrtsa is the act of dealing with the qstMttun of the regulation or a matter subject to congressional regulation, fcnd In either case, so far aa congressional action goea. Is final. But In either case, as under any. act of congress in the enforce ment of which a party claims unlawful de privation of property, the party making this claim can go into a court of equity and assert his rights.
