My experience Of many years IN
public service has taught me there is
nothing so important IS facts. The
whole struggle of the people to
sustain their right TO rule them
selves has been a struggle to estab-
lish the facts
Facts lead a hard life in poll
tics. They are battered and bruised,
twisted and distorted but they re
main the same and they never lose
their intrinsic force. So it is also
with the person who seeks 10 use
facts in politics.
am led to this observation ny
consideration of the struggle that
has now been going on for not less
than eighteen years to establish a
lust valuation of the American rail
roads.
When a just valuation Of the rail
roads has been made it will be
possible 10 fix fair and just rail
road rates, freight and passenger,
and not until then.
In 1913 Congress passed a railroad
valuation act. marking the culmina-
tion of a legislative struggle begun
in 1906, when 1 entered the Senate
Seeking to apply this principle to
national legislation on railroad rates
was a discouraging business for q
long time. 1 offered amendments to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
act, year after year, authorizing the
commission TO investigate and ascer-
i'm the original cost of every Amer
Rsan railroad. and directing the com
mission to use this original cost as
the basis for all rate-making.
Use Present Costs
The law as passed in 1913 was
plain. It's frs and most vital re
quirement was that the Interstate
Commerce Commission should set 90
work finding the original costs, as
the basis for determining the actual
investments Of capital. Well. twelve
