said. that a baby who was heir TO

commission the power to regulate rail-
way rates:
IL think the railways should make
their own rates. ] think ;hey should
be allowed 10 develop their OWN bUsi-
ness have never advocated any
law, and am not now In favor OF any
law, which would put the rate making
power into the hands OF any commits
sion or any court. While II may be
necessary TO do that some time, while
that Is done in some States at the
present time, while IL is done in some
countries, am opposed to II. The
railway rate is property. 1t Is all the
property that the railway has got. The
rest of its property Is not good for
anything unless II can charge rate.
Now II has always seemed 10 me that
when rate was fixed, IL that rate was
an unreasonable rate, ii deprives the
railroad company OF its property pro

should confiscate the property OF a
railroad; II is not necessary that you

per cent. or four per cent When you
put In a rate that Is Inherently un-
reasonable, you have deprived that
