PEOPLE REGULATING
TOO MUCH, SAYS TAFT
Railroads at First Were Arbitrary,
But Now They Have Been
Crushed.

BOSTON, Jan. S.-"The people are
regulating too much, the pendulum
has swung too far the other way"
said former President Taft in speak
Ing Of railroad matters at the alumni
dinner Of the Massachusetts Institute
or Technology tonight.
Mr.. Tafts view was in agreement
with that voiced in q previous speech
by Howard Elliott, president OF the
New York New Haven & Hartford
railroad, who expressed the opinion
that the regulatory power Of the gov
eTnmont was going too far.
AT first, said Mr.. Taft, "the rail
roads thought they were the whole
thing. They violated the law, did
things they should not do, defled the
people as they did the Interstate
Commerce Commission during the
early part OF It's life But they found,
as everybody else will find, that no
body can defy the people on questions
OF justice,
Il agree with President Elliott that
the pendulum now has swung too far;
that the people are regulating too
much, and consequently the people
are hurting themselves. We must re-
trace our steps il we would actually
work for good"
