Transportation Rates.

1t is eminently proper that this con-
vention should define the democratic
attitude toward the regulation of
transportation companies and call the
attention of the country to the indis-
rutable fact that it was only after
years of democratic effort that an
amendment was made to the Interstate
commerce law authorizing the commits
sion to establish reasonable rates
whenever it appeared that an exist
ing schedule was unjust or unreason-
able. The national platforms of the
republican party remained silent upon
this great question for years, and the
facr that the necessary change was ac-
vucated by republican president. who
succeeded only through the aid of the
democrats in both branches of con-
Cress, in placing an amendment upon
our statute books, does not effect the
credit to which our party is entitled
for such an enactment. Further amend
1dent to our laws giving the federal
government supervision over the IS
suance of railroad stocks and bonds Is
demanded, but the republican congress
that has recently adjourned utterly
ltl eu W dulHoIiZe SUCH SUPERVISION,
and yet the republican party, in its
last national convention, had the au-
dacity to promise that if returned to
power it would enact legislation to
effect that end.
'GI'he fixing of transportation charges
and the control of issuance of railroad
securities are inseparably connected
with the actual valuation of railroads.
The democratic party believes that the
first thing to do is to secure a physical
valuation of the roads, that is a varu-
alton of the solid rather than the
liquid assets of railroad companies.

give a hearing to Representative Vree-

upon as a substitute for the Aldrich

The discussion In committee was
brief. The only point debated was as
to whether or not the committee
should make a formal report giving
Its reasons TO the house for Its I'M

finally was reached that no reasons
should be given. Consequently the
committees report will be mere
