saying that the bill should first ne
recommended to Il committee of tic
Senate. Lodge said if III" action was
to DC lahcr, it would be unernrrouS to
delay the matter by referring it to Il

Aidrich replied With some show Of
warmth. saying: Il thini. That %uch

After Distressing of the s. 900 900 voted
by Congress for the relief Of the cali
fo!nia earthquake sufferers, Daniels
spoke on the rate bill.
Daniel took issue with Foraker on
tn" point whether tn" United States
had The same right rs tho Individual
states to fix railroad rats.
Nelson interrupted with the sugGcs-

court tcnd to show that the United
states had the same authority in inter
stat" commerce that states have over
commerce within their own borders
ana Daniel declared that the authors
tics consulted and cited by him SuS-
tanned this view.

Daniel spoke at length Of the priv

However. there were different classes

mission.
This line Of argument brought Daniel
t" consider the question Of 4 rcycw hy
the courts Of the findings of the com
mission. On that point lie expressed the
opinion that lit is wiscst and best to pro
vide for judicial review or appeal. brl-
ut the same time I have no doubt that
if no such review is provided the sys-
tom Of jurisdiction rs administered foc
til" past 20 years would prove all-sufti-
cicnt to secure every right to all con-

Daniel took 2 position in opposition t.
