The strength of the Republican cause is in
the fact that it represents the policies essen-
tiai to the reform of known abuses and to
the continuance of liberty and true pros
perity.
The reorganization of the bureaus in the
departments of Commerce and Labor, Asri
culture and Justice, and change in the iuris
diction of the Interstate Commerce ComS
mission.
Subordinate and anciiIary legislation maxi
ing possible the quick enforcement of the
principles laid down by MIR. Roosevelt
The man who formulated the expression of
the popular conscience and who led the
movement fer practical reform Theo-
dore Roosevelt.
The moral standards set by President
Roosevelt will not continue to be observed
unless the machinery requisite to maintain
these standards is introduced into law.
The chief function of the next adrinistra-
ton is to complete and perfect machinery by
which iawbreakers may be promptly re-
strained and punished. but which shall oper
ate with sufficient accuracy and dispatch =
interfere with legitimate business little
as possible. The machinery is not now ade
quate.
The Interstate Commerce Commission has
power to ascertain the value of the physical
railroad property, if necessary, in determin-
ina tho reasonabeness of rates. II the ma
chinery is not adequate, as is probable, it
should be made SO.
Nearly all corporations doing commercial
business are engaged in interstate commerce,
and If all were required to take out a fed
eraI license or federal charter. the burden
upon the Interstate business of the country
would become intolerabc.
The necessity for some method by which
greater executive supervision can be given
to the federal government over businesses IN
which there is temptation to violations OF
the anti trust law.
The Democratic proposal to compel every
corporation TO sell its commodities at the
Same price the country over, allowing TOR
.r.rsportation, is utterly impracticable.
Unlawful trusts should be restrained with
all ths efficiency of tho injunctiVe process
and persons engaged in maintaining them
a,,,;sbed with all the severity OF criminal
,s.ou+ion so that the methods pursued In
a.. on.ration of their business shall be
brouuht within the law
