! the healthy constructive course of aC-
! ton which this nation has elected 10
| pursue and has steadily pursued dur
Ing the last six years as shown both
| In the Legislation of the congress and
| the administration OF the law by the
department of Justice
National License For Railroads.
The most vita, need is in connection
with the railroad, ~ to these, in my
judgment. there should now be either
national incorporation act or law
licensing railway companies To engage
in interstate commerce upon certain
conditions. The law should he so
framed as to gye to the interstate
commerce commission power to pass
upon the future issue OF securities,
while ample means should he provided
to enable the commission whenever In
its judgment 1t i necessary 10 make
physical valuation Of any railroad. AS
| stated IN my message 10 the congress
q year ago. railroads should he given
power TO enter into agreements sub
ject to these agreements being made
public I'm minute detail and TO the con-
sent Of the Interstate commerce COM
mission being first obtained tntl
the national government assumes prop
or control Of interstate commerce In
the exercise Of the authority II already
possesses Il will bc impossible either
~ give 20 or 10 get from the railroads
fun Justice, The railroads AMI all 9th
or great corporations Will do well TO
recognize that this control must come.
The only question Is rs to what gov.
else II. The courts will determine the
limits within which the federal author
ity can exercise II, and there will still !
remain ample work within each state
for the railway commission Of that
state, and the national Interstate com
mercc commission will work in har
mony with the several state commits
slons each within It's own province, to
achieve the desired end
The Antitrust Law.
Moreover, in my Judgment there
should be- additional legislation looking
tO the proper control OF the great lU-i. !
ness concerns engaged In Interstate
business, this control To h" exercised |
Tor their own benefit and prosperity
No. loss than for the protection OF In.
