! 1t is true. I advised the enact t:
: ment Of new. laws to strengthen :
eur present statutes. But before
! doing 10 ! insisted that tho first {:
: thing to do was to vigorously en-
! force the laws we now have.
ss........
Among other things I said in my
speech at Kenyon and have since re-
peatedly insisted that There are al
ready on our statute books laws
which, when vigorously enforced, will
afford very substantial relief" and I
added that "the vigorous enforcement
of our laws cannot be insisted upon
too strongly. Not only should there
be vigorous enforcement of our state
laws, but we should at all times en-
deavor to create public sentiment
which may insure the enforcement of
our federal rate statutes"
This was in line with the senti-
nents expressed in speech deliv-
cred last spring at Zumbrota, wherein
I said, among other things: 'Now, 1
have a receipt for existing railroad
evils. and 1 will give it to everybody
from Governor Johnson down to the
humblest citizen. 1t is this: Stop
scolding and get to work enforcing
the railroad laws we have unless you
can work and scold at the same
time'"
But while hold this view and have
emphasized it wherever I have had
an opportunity to talk on the subject
Of railroad regulation to the people,
..................
must emphaticatly dissent from
) the position taken by Governor
johnson that the laws Of Mime
sofa affecting railroads and rail-
road rates are both deficient and
sufficient
ss...... ....... ........
If that were the case and Governor
Johnson were as Jealous for their en-
forcement as he processes to be, surely
In the twenty months that the duty
has devolved upon him to take care
that all the laws be enforced he could
have done something to secure relief
for the people from the heavy burdens
the railroads have put upon them.
But although he regards the laws
rs efficient and sufficient" to afford
the people all necessary relief there
is no evidence that he ever sought to
apply them to secure that relief. We
have the authority of the railroad and
warehouse commission for stating
that up to the middle of last August
Governor Johnson has never at any
time in the Office Of the commission
or at any other place conferred with
or consulted the commission or any
member thereof in any matter pertain
ing to the rate question, or to the rail
ways of this state, nor has any COM
plant, either oral or written, or other
wise, come to the Office of the commits
sion from the governor regarding the
matter of railroad rates or matters in
volving the supervision of the railways
of this state" Surely this should not
be the case if our laws "were efficient
and sufficient"

To use his own Ian guage, railroad
conditions in Minnesota are as zap:
palling" today as they were JAM, 1,
1906, and the only relief we can cer-
tainly depend upon is that voluntarily
offered us by the railroads themselves
acting under the pressure brought to
bear upon them by the board of rail-
road and warehouse commissioners.
In saying this I do not forget that
the commissioners have ordered a re-
adjustment of freight rates on mer-
chandise, which will include a reduc-
tion of some 20 per cent in those rates.
But while this reduction has been Or
Gered we are not warranted in con-
Guiding that all railroads will comply
with the order, although they may dc
