T.; La Follette's Report.
-; One of the most notable addi-
tions to the railroad discussion is a
minority report filed by Senator
aobert NJ. La Toilette, member OF
The committee on Interstate ana
eforeign commerce of the senate
which reported out the Cummmlns
bill. For more than 25 years Sena-
tor La Follettee has been regarded
as an authority on the railroad
question. AS governor Of the state
Of Wisconsin he curbed the railroads
and made them the servants OF the
people. Much of the railroad leg1s-
lation enacted in recent years bears
his name. His deliverance of this
question. therefore, assumes COM
manding Importance and doubtless
will tremendously influence the peo-
pie in favor of a. continuation OF
