tered into the head Of Cornelius K Sharp
that there was nothin' like takin' advan-

bit Of canvassin' for the newspapers, and
had purity fly notion OF the best means
'For some time Corney had been on his
beam ends. Folks were scared OF him.
He talked too much. So when he called
10 see the boss, the assistants had orders
TO tell him there was smallpox in the

to make a reduction in a rate which the
commission has pronounced unreasonable.
the shipper must continue to pay the un-
reasonable rate until he shall have gone
to the trouble and expense Of getting the
federal courts to give effect to the com
missions order What President Roosevelt
proposes is that the existing law shall be
so amended as to give the commission
power, after formal hearing of all parties
not only to condemn an unreasonable rate
but also to fix what II shall consider a
reasonable one, and he would have the new
rate go into effect at once and stay I'm
effect unless the courts, at the instance
of the railroads, shall condemn it as con-
fiscatory.
The Interstate Commerce commission,
under the amended law, far from having
absolute power" over all rates. would
have only a qualified power over some
rates. 1t would have no power at all over
any rates except those regarding which
formal complaint was made by shippers,
and its exercise of its power over them
would always be subject to the approval
OF the courts. The railroads can prevent
the people from recognizing the substan-
tial justice OF this policy only by a cam
paign Of Misrepresentation which clouds
and confuses the real issue.
