be impossible for any road to at once

whatever the cause or however diff
cult to fix responsibility. the unQues-
toned fact is that the railroads can
not, or do not, move the entire volume
of traffic offered, and that shippers are
suffering to a degree almost unbear-
able in many cases because they can
not get transportation for their traffic.
The railways. to use common smile,
are the arteries through which the
commercial life of the nation circu-
lates, but when this circulation be-
comes inlpeded because the channels
are choked up or subjected to abnor-
NAL pressure the necessary and early
result is an impairment of commercial
vigor which is felt in every sphere of
business activity A situation of such
gravity calls for every remedy that can
be usefully applied.
The commission is without author
ity under any existing law to deal
effectively with this condition. The
regulating power of congress has not
been exercised to control the physical
operations of interstate railroads, aside
from the safety appliance require

without waiting for further authority,
has commenced an investigation of this
subject with view to ascertaining

parts of the country, and the remedies
that can be applied, either voluntarily

that he would 90 broke. But Jake is
a hustler and right from the start he
pushed things. He started off right

cash to pay every cent he owes and
little surplus of $500. Besides he has
paid for a large amount of improve
ments on his farm from the proceeds
of his work with his machine.-Snith
