said. the evidence must establish be-

the permiHsive act Of 1896. which gave
60 n railroad corporation Of one state
the right 60 carry on Interstate com
OF 1887. The attorney general pointed
out that opposition had been made to-
every progressive measure OF COM
mercc regulation
But he declared. In closing hts
speech. "the centralizinE tendency has
gone steadily on. and the control OF
Congress over interstate railroad com
panies has been exercised In an increas-
ingly comprehensive manner. Such
progress is insepRrahle from growth.

try. and the instrumentalities which
control their operation can only be
properly regulated In the public inter-

power which is sovereign. which is ex-
elusive when exercised: and which
should be exercised to correct every
evil OF a public character which eNpe-
rience demonstrates 70 be susceptible
OF correction only by national leglEla-
ton"
Authorities cited.
Numerous legal authorities were
cited by the attorney general. from
which. he declared, It may confidently
be asserted that while Congress may
itself create corporations for the pur-
pose OF carrying on Interstate com
merce. it may also prescribe rules and
regulations under which a corporation
created by the laws OF a state may
conduct such commerce. and that when
# does so, such state corporation might
engage only in such commerce in con-
formity with the rules and regulations
so laid down by Congress; and that
these rules may have reference not
only 60 the exchange Of goods and
commodities. but 20 the subject. the
vehicle and the agent OF such com
