Mr. Taft's associates in the making of
this law passed on the subject, were
Mr.. Aldrich and his followers in the

al. The act amending and en-
Iarging the interstate commerce law,
"Throught his attorney-general he
preseI ted to Congress a bill which
was introduced in the Senate, refer
red to the committee on interstate
commerce and reported back to the
Senate precisely as the attorney-gen-
eral wrote it and as President Taft
apparently believed it ought to be en-
acted.
"If this bill should pass as insisted
on by the President the work of near
~ a quarter OF century would have
been swept away and we again have
made a long step backward In the
