Senate May Enact Them as Point
cd Out BY President.
SENATOR KNOxMAKEs EFFORT
Claims to be Pioneer Government
Official in Work Of Bringing Trans
portation Companies Under the
Control OF the Government

WASHINGTON, Feb. i8.--prcsid-
cnt Roosevelt, In his recent message
10 Congress, strongly recommends
additional legislation to make effect
i've the antitrust laws. He says:
Not only should there be action on
certain laws affecting wage earners;
there should also be such action on
laws better to secure control over the
great business concerns engaged in
interstate commerce, and especially
over the great common carriers"
The recommendation OF the Prcsid-
cnt is quiet likely to be carried into
effect during the present Congress,
and IL legislation is undertaken along
this line. Senator Philander c. Knox,
Of Pennsylvania, will have an import
ant part in it. Senator Knox was the
pioneer government official in the
work of bringing the transportation
corporations under federal control
and is conceded to be the best inform
cd man in the country upon the sub
jeet
Ii was Mr.. Knox, then Attorney
General, who. In 1902. recommended
to Congress that in respect to rail
road rebates, a penalty should be i'm
posed upon the incorporated carrier
and the beneficiary alike, and tha,
the rights of the courts to restrain
such practice at the suit of the United
States should be provided for in new
legislation. He recommended tina,
II should be made unlawful to trans.
port traffic by carrier subject to the
"Act to Regulate Commerce" and
at any rate less than such carrier:
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1908-02-19

published rate" and that all who par
ticipated In the violation Of such laws
should be punished. He recommend
cd that comprehensive plans should
be framed to enable the Government
10 secure all the facts bearing upon
the organization and practice engaged
in interstate and foreign commerce
essential to full understanding
thereof. He recommends the act TO
suspend the final decision Of cases
under the anti trust law. All Of these
cases were promptly acted upon and
became laws before the expiration OF
that session OF Congress.
The act TO expedite the hearing and
determination OF suits under the anti
trust and interstate commerce acts
was passed Feb. II, 1908. Under its
provisions the Northern Securities
case was set down for argument be-
fore the circuit judges Of the Eight
Circuit and argued in March, 1903.
On February Ia, 1908, the Depart
mcnt of Commerce and Labor was
created and in that Department the
Bureau OF Corporations established,
completing the governments power
to make investigation into the organi-
zation. conduct, management and
business Of all corporations engaged
in interstate and foreign commerce.
Along the line Of his suggestions
already indicated, and pursuant to
others which he made Congress also
amended the interstate commerce law
by providing that anything done OF
omitted to be done by corporate
common carrier subject to the act
which IL done by an employe thereof
would constitute a misdemeanor
under the Law, should also be held to
be misdemeanor committed by such
corporation; requiring every common
carrier subject to the law to publish
his tariff rates or charges, and te
| maintain them; making it unlawful
for any person or corporation to offer
grant, or give, or to solicit, accept, Of
receive any rebate, concession or dis
elimination in respect to the trans
portation of any property in interstate
or foreign commerce, whereby sucf
property shall by any device whatever
be transported at less rate than thu
rate published by the carrier; anc
also making the rate published ant
filed with the interstate commerce
commission the legal rate.
It provided also for the production
Of all books and papers, both by car
riers and shipper, which directly OF
indirectly relate to the transactions

and the giving Of testimony, whether
such documents can incriminatc ths
party or not.
The inscparablc Identification Of
Mr.. Knox with all these measures Is
proven not only by the recommends
tons which he made from time to
time. but by the fact that he prepared
bills embodying every idea in the leg.
