able interstate railways should be
valued by the government. Mr.. Prouty
said:
Government regulation Is itself on
trial. Regulation must be sufficiently
strong to choke the cry for national
operation. am not asking that addi,
tional powers be conferred upon the
interstate commerce commission. We
must create department OF railways
which should be charged with that
part OF railway regulation which is
properly administrative and executive.
The railway company should not be
deprived of its property by reduction
in its rate until It has been given a
fair hearing before some disinterested
tribunal, but the duty OF beginning a
complaint rests upon the government
and should not be cast upon private
individuals"
