We assert IN" right OF congress to eX-
are-e complete control over Interstate
commerce and the right OF each state tc
eXe!c.se IKE control over commerce within
Its borders
We demand such enlargement of the
powers OF the Interstate Commerce com
mission as may be necessary to compel the
mon carriers and prevent discrimination
and restore confidence.
We favor the efficient supervision and
regulation of railroads engaged in inter-
state commerce To this end we recon-
mend the valuation OF railroads by the
Interstate Commerce commission, such
valuation TO take Int consideration the
physical value OF the property, the orgl-
may cost and the cost Of reproduction and
elements OF value that Will render the
valuation falr and Just.
We favor SUCH legislation as will pre-
Vent the railroads from engaging in bust
ness which brings them into competition
with their shippers, also legislation which
