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.

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."
