SENATOR BROWN AT SEWA&l) National Issues Involved in Present Campaign Are Discussed. CONTROL OF CONGEESS IMPORTANT Reaablleaa Saoald Have Sfajwrltr Allow Them to Complete Important 1 Ilallrad Lea-talmttan Naw In Hand. SEWARD, Neb., Oct. T.-8pecUl.) Sen. ator Brown made an address here tonight on the Issues of the campaign- He salt In part: f "This year you are called upon to elect a congressman In this district the legisla ture you elect will be called upon to elect a United States senator. It Is, therefore.1 of Imperative Importance to consider the pubiio policies of our nation as well as the public policies of our state. The people of this country have not been taking any backward steps as far as our national pol icies are concerned. They have been mov ing steadily forward during all the history , of the republic, In all parties and In all campaigns the endeavor of the oltlien has been to make a good gavernment better. No matter how good our laws are, they ca snd should be Improved. The struggle la the last session of congress was notable for results. It was a continuation of the struggle which noosevelt began several years ago. He began to fight to vest real power In that arm of the government known as the Interstate Commerce com. mission. He won a great victory. It was the first and therefore the most difficult stsp to t afte In a campaign to place the government In real and actual control of those common carriers doing an Inter state business. He won because he was right just as the people will win every tight In the end when they are right But experience under the Roosevelt statute demonstrated that the law needed amend ment and that unless the law could be strengthened and further power be vested In the government, the public would still be without that full measure ef justice to which It Is entitled. Ko It happened that the republican platform promised and rresldeut Taft recommended to eon. gress further IsslMatlon on the subject. The pledge was redeemed and a law was passed which every honest man concedes to be a tremendous victory for popular rights. It received every republican vote In the sen ate and I think every republican vole In the house. It also had the support at ths end of the struggle of a few demo crats In butt) branches of oongresa. It may truthfully bs said to represent the bent wisdom and conscience of both parties. It stands, however, as a monument to the Integrity and Insistence of a republican president and a republican congress. C'oart of Caiumere. "This law created a special court to hear and determine all legal controversies aris ing under the law. The court shall have no other business. Its entire time shall be devoted to the one subject. It Is likely, therefore, ttiat the delays and conflicting judicial Interpretations of the law hereto fore arising under the old system of hav. lug federal courts all over ths country pass on the questions Invulved will be avoided. You people know, because you remember how long our state was delayed v py the federal court procedure In the col lection of certain railroad taxes, how In evitable an 1 unavoidable delay Is In the circuit courts of the country. When a shipper finds himself In a lawsuit over freight rates an early and speedy judg ment la his right. lelay In many cases amounts to a denial of Ju&tlce. The com- mere court created by the law must re- suit in that expediency and uniformity and certainty so ee.,ntl.t ,o the administration of Justice. It mear.s a square deal for the v...,.. v.-- ,..:.... has become exhausted or bankrupt by the delays Incident to the old procedure. "Again, the law vests the government with power to Investigate on Its own mo tion any rate or charge made by the rail roads, with power to set It aalde If found to be Impossible or unjust. Under the old law the government had n) Jurisdiction over any rate unless some shipper or ag grieved person filed a complaint. This was a great hardship on the Individual, be cause It made htm. and not the govern o'ent, the moving spirit the plaintiff In "Sampeck" Suits and for young men 50 years old and under wh o demand .clothes individuality require no extravagant phraseology" in proclaiming their merit. They immediately grip the fancy of men and. young men of good judgment and the rapidly growing list of exclusive rearers of 'Sampeck" is the best evidence of their ability to advertise themselves when they are once known to you. WW you break from the ranks of the mediocre dresser and wear Sampeck Clothes of DISTINCTIONTODAY? Prices Start at or in other words they halve MEN'S AND YOUNG MEN'S HATS la all the favored shapes $2.00 to 93.50 the controversy, charged with carrying the burden of making a case before the com mission. Of course, the publlo had a greater Interest In the rate as a matter of fact than the shipper himself, but the burden of obtaining Justice was on the individual. If he was successful the pub lic, as well as himself, became the bene ficiary. President Taft was of the opinion that the burden ought to be borne by the government because the general publlo bad the larger Interest In the controversy. That was the controlling reason for giving to the government the power to Initiate in vestigations, bear the burden et the fight, save to the shipper the expense and allow all the people to obtain the rights that belong to. them. '.. ttearnlatloa of Rates. "Again, under the old law the railroads had a right to Increase their rates and charges at any time, provided they filed a schedule of the proposed Increases with the commission. After thirty or sixty days, I have forgotten which, these In. creases went Into effect The new law al lows no Increase In rates to become effec tive untfl the Interstate Commerce com mission shall have had nine months In which to determine whether they are Just and reasonable. If the commission finds them to be Just and reasonable they be come operative. If the commission finds them to be unreasonable or unjust, It has the power to suspend them. This Investigation,-with Its difficulties, 'Is made by the government. No shipper, no com munity, no Individual Is compelled to carry the burden of the Investigation. Not only that but the government has the power to compel the common carriers to furnish the facts, all ef them, on the subject In other words, the burden, of proving that the proposed rates are reasonable and Just Is put on the railroad company. If the proof Is wanting It follows that the rates are not reasonable and just and the finding therefore of the commission must be that they are unlawful and cannot become oper- atlve. To me It seems that this provision of the law marks the greatest and most for ward step yet taken in the real control and regulation by the government of trans portation charges. It ought to reosive the enthusiastic endorsement of all the people and the party which Inaugurated It and the president and the congress which carried out of this tremendous onward and forward policy deserve the commendation of the public. You withhold such commendation every time you vote for a man who stands as an enemy to the present administration. Farther l.rgrtslatloa Needed. "But good aa this law la it needs amend ment Congress should have followed the lead of President Taft and put In the law a provision making It unlawful for one rail road company to own stock In a com petlng railroad and placing the capitalisa tion of the railroads under the oontrol and supervision of the Interstate Commerce commission. Theae provisions were voted down by the aid of democratic votes on the argument that the railroads were chartered by the states and therefore con gress had no constitutional power -to legis late en the subject of capitalisation. That to do so was an Invlslon of ststs rights guaranteed by the constitution. The argu ment prevailed for the time being, but I promise you now the fight will be renewed In the next congress. It cannot be the law that congress having undoubted and absolute power over Interstate commerce Is without power to fix the terms and con ditions on which corporations shall do busi ness In that field, whether they be char tered by the state or the nation."
