Opposed Valuation Amendment.

sI voted against the La Toilette
amendment providing for a valuation
of the property of the railroads by the
Interstate Commerce commission. I
did so, because believed that such in
formation would be of little practical
value. Such valuation might assist the
Interstate Commerce commission in
determining what was just and reas-
enable rate: but 1t assumes that the
element of cost OF service is the prin-
cipaI one to be considered in fixing a
rate. It is oftentimes impossible to
determine the cost of transporting a
given article between two points. In
the end, it is a question Of judgment
and comparison. Oftentines the value
of the service is more important than
the cost of service. Rates in this coun-
try are not based solely upon the cost
Of service: neither can they be so
based without a revolution of our en-
tire TRANSFORMATION system.

. THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
Il am glad to be able to say that I am
satisfied with the railroad rate law.
There are provisions in it that I did not
favor and I would have inserted other
provisions; but on the whole, as stated
by President Roosevelt, in the. letter
have read, it marks an extraordinary
advance in railroad rate legislation.
La FoIIette's Amendments.
Senator LaFollette presented IS
amendments to the bill. Some of them
were good and some of them were bad
Some of them I favored as separate
propositions, others I opposed because
they contained things / could not in
dorse. There was great opposition IN
the senate as it was; and with the
amendment of Senator La Toilette
added to It. there would have been abb
solutely no hope of its passage, so as
a question of parliamentary procedure,
opposed his amendments. I voted
against his amendment providing that
the court should suspend any trial had
before it where the evidence OF the
plaintiff was different from that OFFER
ed in the hearing before the commits
sion. and that the new evidence offer
ed in court should be certified to tbs
commission for its consideration. This
amendment was at variance with the
theory of the Hepburn bill and with
the powers of congress in the regula-
ton of Interstate
Making rate Is a legislative and
not a judicial function; and when the
rate is made, It can only be attacked in
court upon the grounds that have des-
ignated. and then the plaintiff in the
suit can not be restricted or limited in
the evidence that may be presented to
show that the rate complained of does
not afford Just compensation for the
service. I voted against this amend
ment with 48 others senators. Among
the senator's who voted with me were
Nelson of Minnesota, Dolliver of Iowa,
Burkett and Millard of Nebraska, Gull
lom and Hopkins of Illinois, and War
ner and Stone of Missouri. There were
1 twenty-six senators voted for it, all Of
whom were Democrats but Senator

had backing of the labor organi-
cations and Of all the men whom those
organizations could influence.
The principal proposition Of the
bill that railroad employees be limited
To sixteen hours Of labor In each day
Of twenty.folr hours encountered Sc.
rious snag In the Senate. not because
senators believed men ought 10 work
longer than sixteen hours, or even so
long as that. but for various other
reasons that were advanced. The
measure was regarded as too drastic,
IN its present form, and the opinion
was expressed that It was proposed
at time too late In the session to
admit of proper consideration and
amendment before adjournment. H.
therefore, went over until the snort
session next December.
