without influence, and he proceeded
Eby recommending legislation and di-
Erecting executive action to make that
principle good in actual performance.
He secured the passage of the So
called rate bill, designed more effect
lively to restrain excessive and fix rea-
lsonable rates, and to punish secret re-
! bates and determinations which had
been general in the practice of
railroads, and @Ehich had done much
to enable unlawful trusts to drive out
of business their competitors. II Sc
cured much closer supervision of rail
way transactions and brought within
the operation of the same statute ex-
press companies, sleeping car compa-
MES and refrigerator lines, terminal
railroads and pipe lines, and forbade
in future the combination Of the trans
portation and shipping business under
one control in order to avoid undue
discrimination.
President Roosevelt directed salts
to be brought and prosecutions to be
instituted under the antitrust law, so
enforce it's provisions against the most
powerful of the Industrial corpora
tioifs He pressed to passage the
pure food law and the meat inspection
law in the interest of the health Of
the public, clean business methods and
great ultimate benefit to the trades
themselves. He recommended the
passage of law, which the republi
can convention has since specifically
approved, restricting the future issue
of stocks and bonds by interstate rail
ways to such as may be authorized by
Federal authority He demonstrated
TO the people by what he said, by.what
he recommended to congress, and by
what he did. the sincerity of his. efforts
to command respect for the law, to
secure equality of all before the law,
and to save the country from the dan.
gers Of a plutocratic government
toward which we were fast tending. In
this wcrk Mr. Roosevelt has had the
support and sympathy of the republi-
can party, and its chief hope of sue
cess in the present controversy must
rest on the confidence which the peo
PIE Of the country have in The sin
cerity Of the party's declaration in it's
platform, that it intends to continue
his policies.
II Secure Progress Made.
Mr. Roosevelt has set high the
standard of business moraIN and
obedience to law The railroad rate
bill was more useful possibly in the
immediate moral effect Of it's passage
, than even in the legal effect of its
very useful provisions From its en-
actment dates the voluntary abandon
ment cf the practice of rebates and
determinations by the railroads and
the return by the managers to obedi-
encc to law in the fixing of tariffs The
The pure food and meat inspection
laws and the prosecutions directed by
the president under the antitrust law
have had similar moral effect in the
general business community and have
made it now the common practice for
the great Industrial corporations to
consult the law with view to keep
ing within its provisions. It has also
had the effect of protecting and en-
couraging smaller competitive com
Danies so that they have been enabled
to do profitable business.
