Railroad Regulation.

The railroad question is also inter-
woven with the trust question. Nearly
all the private monopOlies have re-
ceiVed rebates or secured other advan-
tages over competitors. Absolute equal
ity of treatment at the hands Of the
railroads would go far toward Gripping
the trusts and | rejoice that the pres
ident has had the courage to press the
question upon congress. While the law.
az 1t was finally distorted by the SEN
ate. is not all that could be wished, it
deserves a fair trial.
Rate regulation was absolutely nee
esSary and it furnishes some relief from
the unbearable conditions which previ-
ousy existed. but we must not forget
that the vesting of this enormous DOW
er in the hands of the commission an
pointed by the president introduces a
new danger. If an appointive board has
the power to fix rates and.can. by the
exercise of that power. Increase and de-
crease by hundreds of millions of dol
lars the annual revenues of the rail-
roads, will not the railroads feel that
they have a large pecuniary interest In
the election Of a president friendly To
the railroads?
