BOYD KRIDER.

1t has been proposed, and even
brought to vote in the form OF the
most radical Esch- h-Townsend BILL
that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission be given power to Tx rail-
road rates in such way that the
rates shall be neither extort1onate
nor discriminative to either ship"
per or carrier. We, the negative
contend that the Commission should
not be given such power, because
it is impracticable for two reasons;
first it would clash with the meas
ures of the United States Constltu-
ton; and second, it would not do
away with present evils.
The reasoning of one OF the
greatest possible objections to CIV
ire the Commission the power oi
fixing rates is so extremely simple
that it is quite frequently over
looked; but it's no less important
on that account.
The objection is this: The pow
er of fixing rates is a Legislative
function; and, consequently, Con
gress cannot give this power to any
person or body. The exact words
