@%OR eighteen years we have had in force the act to regulate
r. commerce, which forbids not all discrimination, but only
UNDUE AND UNJUST discrimination. Under that
statute the federal courts have sustained every great American
railway rate practice brought before them for adjudication. More
than that, very rarely, indeed, have the federal courts condemned even
the SPECIFIC rates which had been made under the rate practices
in question. There have been taken to the federal courts forty-fve
cases in which the railways have failed to obey the order of the inter
state commerce commission to desst from charging the rate which the
commission had held to be unlawful. Thirty+fve of those cases have
been decided, and in thirtytwo of those cases the federal courts have
held that the order of the commission had been unlawful because based
upon an erroneous construction of the law or upon an ERRONEOUS
WEIGHING of the evidence.
The federal courts have construed the act to regulate commerce
and have weighed the evidence in cases brought before them under
that act in accordance with the assumption that commerce in its
largest sense must be deemed to be one Of the most important subjects
of legislation, and an intention to promote and facilitate it and not to
hamper or destroy it is naturally to be attributed to congress. The
very terms of the statute, that charges must be reasonable" that dis
elimination must not be unjust" and that preference or advantage
to any particular person, firm, corporation or locality must not be
undue" or unreasonable necessarily imply that STRICT UNI
FORMITY is NOT TO BE ENFORCED, but that all circum-
stances and conditions which reasonable men would regard as affecting
the welfare of the carrying companies and of the producers, shippers
and consumers should be considered.
AND THIS SHOULD BE DETERMINED BY A TRIBUNAL APP
POINTED TO CARRY INTO EFFECT AND ENFORCE THE PRO-
VISIONS OF THE ACT.
