POWER NEEDED TO CORRECT

PRESIDENT AT RALEIGH N. c.

| Opposed to Government Ownership
But Government Supervision 10 a
Neutrality-suspicious. Has Shown
That Railroads Must Be Controlled.
Raleigh. n. C.-Wfth the music OF
the band and hearty cheers greeting
him, the President reached Raleigh
promptly on time. g
There were nearly 10000 people In
the fair grounds when the President
arrived. The President was introduced
by Lieutenant Governor Winston, and
began his remarks with pleasant ref
erence to the occasion, continuing as
Follows:
II do not believe In government own
ership of anything which can with pro-
priety be left in private hands, and In
particular should most strenuously
object to government ownership Of
railroads. But l believe with equal
firmness that it Is out OF the question
| for the government not to exercise a
| supervisory and regulatory right over
the railroads.; for 1T Is vital to the
| ll-being OF. the public that they
should be managed in a spirit of fair
ness and Justice toward all the public.
i"Actual experience has shown that 1t
is not possible to leave the railroads
uncontrolled. Such a system, or rather
| such lack of system, Is fertile in
abuses of"every kind, and puts a pre-.
inium upon INSCRIPTIONS and ruthless
cunning In railroad.manageihent.
There are some big shippers and
some railroad managers who are al
ways willing to take unfair advantage
of their weaker competitors, and they
Thereby force other big shippers and
big railroad men who would like to do
decently into similar acts of wrong
and injustice. under penalty of being
left behind In the race of success. =!
Government supervision isi'needed
quite as much in the interest. of the big
shipper and of the railroad -aaaa---:who
want to do right as in the interest OF
the small, shipper. and the consumer.
Experience has Shown that the
present laws are defective and need
amendment. The effort to prohibit all
restraint. of yompeiition.' whether rea-
sonable or unreasonable, is unWise.
What we need is to have some admin
istrative body with ample power to for
bid combination that is hurtfulsto the
public, and 10 prevent favorttism TO
one Individual at the expense of an
other.
But in my judgment the most Inn
portant thing to do is to give to this
administrative body power to make It's
finding effective, and this can be done
only by giving 1t power. when COM
plant is made of given rate as being
unjust or unreasonable, il 1t finds the
complaint proper. then itself to fix a
maximum rate which it regards as just
and reasonable, this rate to go into
effect practically at once, that is within

unless reserved by the courts.
II earnestly hope that we shall see
