at the end of every week and swear them to be sure and then l was not l quite sure that they were not cutting l rates.
 Most railroads today are prosper | ous, and wheE they are prosperous | they can obey the law; but when 1t comes to a question of the survival of the Attest, then the weakest begin to break the law, and that leads all the others in the same direction. What we want is a law that will enable the railroads that wish to obey the law to compel the others to do so or else go out of business.
 q heard the other night speech from a gentleman whom I very much l admire, an old friend of mine, Presi- dent Baer, and I thought his tone, his attitude toward regulation, was one that was likely to lead the railroads into a position from which they must
 some time sorrowfully retire. When Mir. Fish maintained that the law was ample and that admlnistra- tion rather than Legislation was the thing desired MT. Taft retorted: T know something about the Inter- State Commerce litigation. I know you began a cas. four years ago over an issue whether q particular town was prejudiced as to the way in which tbe rates were made for that town and five
 years hence the case is decided in the courts. In the meantime the town has been wiped out by a tornado" If, despite these warnings, the Sen ate persists in the course foreshad-
 owed by MT. Elkins's committee. live ly times are looked for in the extra
 session. The House. under Speaker Canuons lead, is counted with the President. The passage of such a bill
 as MT Roosevelt and MT. Taft have in
 dicated they do not want will place the
 President in the situation which MT. Cleveland c-nfronted when Congress passed the Wilson German tariff bill. Mir Cleveland branded it as one of ''perfdy and dishonor." but preferred to allow it tC become a law rather than veto the only tariff bill he could get.
