Taft and the RniIroadn


On his projected trip to the Southwest
Secretary Taft has announced his purpose
to deliver one or more speeches on the
subjects Of railroad-rate regulation and
the Brownsville incident. II IS interesting
10 note in this connection that at the
inception Of those administration meas
ures he occupied ground much closer 10
that upon which his distinguished oppo-
nent, Senator Foraker. stood, and stiil
stands, than that which the President
originally occupied in the one case and
continues firmly to hold in the other.

except his Attorney General, then the
Hon. William H. Moody now an asso-
ciate judge Of the Supreme Court, was
opposed 70 tie DoIliver- Hepburn bill
which had Mr.. Roosevelt's ardent sup
port. Secretaries Root and Taft persist
entity and urgently advised the President
against the bin. mainly because OF its
provisions for a narrow court review
which, had IL remained In the bill, would
have made the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and not the Federal courts the
rate-making power. Secretary Taft, hav-
ing come Ir0m the Federal bench 10 the
Cabinet, advised the President tuat the
courts would quite probably declare the
law unconstitutional should the narrow
court review provision remain In the bill
After the President assented to its being
stricken out, Mr.. Taft favored the bill
