the development OF modern trade and commerce and
at the same time destroy what is evil and hurtiul
in them We have gone about the matter in an in
telligent and determined way. We have investigated
the facts far could. We have sought 70
find the evils and then enact into law the appropri-
ate remedies
Practices which grew up in the early days OF
the development OF the railroads. and which were
regarded entirely proper, later on came to be
considered they were, in fact. unjust and indie
