In times of necessity the proper move
ment of traffic. l think it must also
have authority to determine the condi-
tions upon which cars shall be inter-
changed between different interstate
railways. 1t is also probable that the
commission should have authority in
particular instances to determine the
schedule upon which perishable COM
modities shall be moved.
In this connection 1 desire to repeat
my recommendation that railways be
permitted to form traffic associations
for the purpose of comforting about and
agreeing upon rates, regulations, and
practices affecting interstate business
in which the members of the associa-
ton are mutually interested. This does
not mean that they should be given the
right to pool their earnings or their
traffic. The law requires that rates
shall be so adjusted as not to discrimi-
nate between individuals, localities, or
different species of traffic. Ordinarily,
rates by all competing lines must be the
same.

PREDATORY CORPORATIONS FIGHT.

The books and pamphlets, the con-
trolled newspapers, the speeches by
public and private men to which l refer
are usually and especially in the inter-
est of the Standard Oil Trust and of
certain notorious railroad combinations.
but they also defend other individuals
and corporations of great wealth that
have been guilty of wrongdoing. 1t is
only rarely that the men responsible for
the wrorgdoing themselves speak or
write. Normally they hire others to do
their bidding, or find others who will do
it without hire.
TRYING TO DISCREDIT LAW OFFICERS
From the railroad rate law to the pure
food law, every measure for honesty in
business that has been passed during
the last six years has been opposed by
these men on its passage and in its ad-
ministration with every resource that
bitter and unscrupulous craft could sug-
gest and the command of almost unlim.
tied money secure, But for the last
year the attack has been made witt
most bitterness upon the actual admin.
istration of the law, especially through
the Department Of Justice, but also
through the Interstate Commerce Com
merce Commission and the Bureau O,
Corporations.

The attacks by these great corpora

GOVERNMENT IMPARTIAL.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IMPARTIAL.
The Federal Government does scourge
sin; it does bid sinners fear; for it has
put behind the bars with impartial Sc
verify, the powerful Anancier, the pow
erful politician, and rich land thief, the
rich contractor-all, no matter how
high their station, against whom Grim
inal misdeeds can be proved. All their
wealth and power can not protect them.
But it often happens that the effort to
imprison given defendant is certain to
be futile, while it is possible to fine him
or to fine the corporation of which he is
head; so that, in other words, the only
way of Furnishing the wrong is by fining
the corporation, unless we are content
to proceed personally against the minor
agents.
The corporation lawyers to whom l
refer and their employers are the men
mainly responsible for this state of
things, and their responsibility is shared
with all who ingeniously oppose the
passing of just and effective laws. or
who fail to execute them when thew
have been put on the statute books.
