right, and, as believe, the duty of con-
ferring those powers upon some execu-
tive body. 1t cannot confer them upon
any court, nor can 1t take away the
courts power to interfere II the law is
administered in way that amounts to
confiscation Of property.
The Great Corporations.
"Of course it would be possible to
come much short of such confiscation
and yet do great damage, perhaps ir-
reparable damage to the great corpora
tions engaged in interstate commerce.
we must remember always that most
OF the men who are responsible for the
management OF these great corpora
tiops, and who have profited thereby
have made their fortunes not as Incl
dental to damaging but to benehting
the community as whole. We must
be- careful that nothing is done that
would )eopardiZe their industries as
that would therefore work harm Of
the most far-reaching kind not only to
all from the humblest to the highest
engaged in these industries, but to the
business community as a whole. We
must be careful to Sc that the law is
administered with sanity and conser-
vatism.
But the power must exist. in my
judgment, il justice is to be done as
between the public and the common
carrier in some governmental execu-
tive tribunal, not only to fix rates and
alter them when they are convinced
that existing rates do injustice. but to
see that the rate thus fixed goes into
effect practically at once. That is i'm
portant to certain individuals as TO
certain industries, and it is important
to certain communities. | do not in
the least ascribe it to any moral culp-
ability of the men engaged in handling
these great corporations that they can
not see some of the bad effects of GER
tain things they do. 1t is most natural
for man who is trying to carry on
his business in competition with some
other business to think that whatever
he does that would best his competitor
is a pretty good thing for the com
munity at large; and often | do not
blame him for what he does, but in
tend to prevent his doing it.
