finding that the said maximum rates
we're not susceptible of reinforcement
recommended to the Legislature of
1909 that the said section seven
be repealed and the power to fix
reasonable rates be in the hand S
of the railroad commission in order
that the varying conditions which
applied over the stronger and
weaker lines could be taken ac-
count of and rates prescribed
which would fit the said con-
ditions. This the legislature of
1909 did and the commissi on is
now making rates which will fit
each individual line.
Mr.. Pttman's position at the
Tonopah banquet was therefore
logical and the practical operation
of the railroad commission law

KEY PITTMAN'S
RAILROAD RECORD

ing Key Pittman's loyalty to
effective railroad rate regulation
is contained in the following
statement taken from official
sources in the possession of the
Nevada railroad commission.
This statement shows that the
so-called Tonopah banquet speech
was made several days prior to
the introduction of the railroad
commission law and that it did
not relate to that law at all. 1t
related to the prosoped application
of the maximum rate doctrine to
all railroad rates and the very
objection urged againts it by Mr..
Pittman at that time, not only
developed and was used by the
railroads as he predicted, but the
objection was sustained by the
coufts. :,
The clause he feared would
prove weak. proved weak and when
it was later made a part of the
railroad commission law it was
declared invalid and was later
repealed.
If the advice of Key Pittman,
based on his KIN ,wl.dge of the law
and his fears for the failure of
the legislation had been followed
the state would have been saved
many dollars expended in litigation
and the law could never have been
subjected to the danger of test
before the court. -s
Folio owing is the statement
the actual occrrence that has been
distorted by the republicans:
In the 1907 session of the
legislature when the matter of
some adeq nate legislation for the
control of railroads was under
consideration, the consensus of
opinion among the members was
that the most effective result would
be accomplished by what is KIN vn
as maximum rate of freight and
passenger fare law, which had
been tried in other states with
varying success.
At the Tonopah banC cet
February 8, 1907, Governor
Sparks. speaking to the subject,
was opposed while Mr.. Skaggs vas
strong for it.
Mr.. Pittman in speaking to the
subject urgently recommended
that the members do not commit
themselves to the m ximum rate
scheme of regulation, for the
reason that same would be
arbitrary and unyielding-applying
alike to-the strong and weak lines.
and therefore when the test would
be made in the courts it would be
fourd, no doubt, that while the
said maximum rates would yield a
fair return upon the investment
for the strong lines. it would be
found that the application of same
to the business of the small weak
lines would be found to be
confiscatory and therefore the law
would be declared to he un-
constitutional. Pittman continu-
ing earnestly advocated the
creation of railroad commission
with full power conferred by
statute which would enable them
to effectively and fairly adjust the
freight and passenger fares on the
different railroads according to
the varying conditions which it
would he necessary to meet.
Five days later, on February 13,
following further delibe ration by
the legislature a railroad COM
mission law was passed, creating a
railroad commission, etc., but in
so doing the advocates of the
maximum rate idea had Inserted
section seven which did prescribe
a scale Of nahum freight rates,
and which when the railroad CON-
mission attempted to enforce were
promptly challenged by the rrail-
roads and carried into the district
federal court at Carson City, and
