in my message at the opening OF the

in the interest of the public, but most
emphatically in the interest OF every
honest railway manager and of all
investors or would.be investors in

vested in the federal government a
full power of supervision and control
over the railways doing Interstate
business: a power in many respects
analogous to and as complete as that
the government exercises over the ma

in such fashion should be held to q
criminal accountability. 1t should be
declared contrary to public policy
henceforth to allow railroads to de-
vote their capital to anything but the
transportation business, certainly not
to the haz ards of speculation.
For the very reason that We desire
to favor the honest railroad manager,
we should seek to DISCOURAGE the &C.
tivities of the man whose only concern
with railroads is to manipulate their
stocks.
The movement to regulate railways
by law has come to stay. The people
OF this country have made up their
minds-and wisely made up their
minds-to exercise a closer control
over all kinds OF public service cor
porations, including railways. Every
honestly managed railway will gain
and not lose by the policy. The men
more anxious to manipulate stocks
than to make the management OF their
roads efficient aud honest are the only
ones who have cause to oppose it.
