under totally different conditions Of

at the present time. 1t is clear that

1t was not so very long ago that the

What has brought about the general
acquiescence in the wisdom and pro-
priety OF such legislation? Nothing
but the vigorous initiative and consist

himself. The president knew not only
that there must be some curb placed
on oppressiyely discriminating rates

also that the people would support
measures looking to such repression.
