REGULATIONS TO MEET
RAILROAD PROBLEM.
Needed TO Make Lines More Useful
Servants of Country.

Servants of Country.
In the meantime may | make this
suggestion: The transportation prob
lem is an exceedingly serious and
pressing one in this country. There
has from time TO time Of late been rea-
son to fear that our railroads would
not much longer be able 10 cope with
It successfully. as at present equipped
and co-Ordinated. l suggest that 1t
would be wise to provide for a COM
mission OF inquiry TO ascertain by a
thorough canvass OF the whole ques-
framed and administered are as serv-
iceable as they might be in the solu-
ton Of the problem. Ii is obviously
problem that lies at the very foun-
dation OF our efficiency as a people.
such an inquiry ought to draw out
every circumstance and opinion worth
considering, and we need to know
all sides OF the matter If we mean to
do anything I'm the field OF federal lie =
iSlatlOn.
No one. am sure, would wish to
take any backward step. The regula-
ton OF the railways Of the country by
federal commission has had admirable
results and has fully justified the
hopes and expectations Of those by
whom the policy Of regulation was
originally proposed The question is
not. What should we undo? 1t is
whether there is anything else we can
do that would supply US with effective
means. In the very process Of regu-
lation, for lettering the conditions I'M
der which the railroads are operated
ants OF the country as a whole. IL
seems TO me that It might be the part
OF wisdom, therefore, before further
legislation In this field is attempted.
TO look at the whole problem OF co-or-
dination and efficiency IN the full light
OF n fresh assessment Of circumstance
and opinion. as a guide 10 dealing with
the several parts OF 1t.
For what we are seeking now. what
in my mind Is the single thought OF
this message. is national efficiency and
security. We serve a great nation.
We should serve it in the spirit Of it's
peculiar genius. IL is the genius Of
common men for self government. In
dustry. justice, liberty and peace. We
should see 10 It that II lacks no In
strument, no facility or vigor OF law.
10 make Il sufficient TO play its part
with energy. safety and assured sue
cess. In this we are no partisans but
heralds and prophets OF new age.
