the house. He entered at length into
the power of congress to regulate

tended, had been frequently estab-
lished by decisions of the supreme
court UNFOLDING state laws intended
to accomplish that purpose. He con-
tended that if the state legislatures
could fix rates congress Gould do So
"The controlling fact is the right to
regulate at ALL" he said, and contend
ed that wa this point established the
right to name Il maximum rate nat
urally followed. He also contended
that congress had power to vest the
interstate commerce commission with
its powers, urging that the exercise Of
such prerogatiye by commission
was not legislative but administrative
