Their stupendous size alone seems at times to obscure the vision not only of those who look idly on, but of those who carry the burdens of respon- slplllty' We have apparently come to re- gard mere size and power and accumula- tion as an evidence of wickedness' rms propaply Is a mere passing condition. we nave grappled before with perplexing ana dlfIieait problems, and in every case the sound common sense and conservative character of the American people have ul- tlmately overcome them all, and the na- ton has been guided safely through many dangers. We were pioneers in the estao- lishment of the best government of earth. We were pioneers in the settlement and the development of the wealthiest of con- tlnents. We were pioneers In the creation Of the most widespread and the most perfect system Of transportation, over the largest areas. at the lowest rates, and of the highest efficiency, that the world has ever seen.
 T have no doubt. with the same suc- cess that has marked our course in other difficulties when the way seemed for while not clear we will find ways and means to deal with this great question justly and fairly; that the carriers will continue to be subordinate, and never su- perior, to the government; that they will find under the aegis of that government wise and beneficial and equitable protecr tion, with all their legitimate powers and privileges preserved, for the welfare of their owners. and their usefulness to the public unimpaired."
