of Improper
wrongdoing.
The railways of the country shou'd
be put completely under the Interstate
Commerce Commission and removed
Trom the domain of the anti-trust law.
The power of the commission ahould
b made thoroughgoing, ao that It
and control over the Issue of security
as well aa over the raiting and lower
ing of rates. Aa regards rates, -it
least, this power should be summary.
The power to Jvnestlgate the financial
operations and accounts of the ra.i-
ways haa been one of the most vaiuaT
ble features In regent legislation.
Rates must be made as low as is
compatible with giving proper returns
to all the" employees of the rallroa-i.
from the highest to the lowest, and
proper returns to the shareholders;
hut they must not, for Instance, be re
duced in such fashion as to necessi
tate a cut in the wages of the em
ployes or the abolition of the proper
and legitimate profits of honest snare
holders. Telegraph and telephone companies
engaged In interstate business should
be put under the Jurisdiction of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
It Is of tnterest of all of us that
there should be a premium put upn
Individual Initiative and Individual ca
pacity, and an ample reward for the
great directing Intelligences alone
competent to manage the great busi
ness operations of toady. It Is well .o
keen In mind that exactly as the an
archist Is the worst enemy of liberty
and the reactionary the worst enemy
of order, so the men who def--rd th?
rights of property have most Ij fecr
from the wrongdoers of great wealth,
and the men who are champlonl-'
popular rights have most to fear from
the demagogues who in the name of
nopular rights would do wrong to ani
oppress honest business men, honest
men of wealth; for the success ot
either type of wrongdoer necessarllv
Invites a violent reaction against tne
cause the wrongdoer nominally up
holds. In point of danger to the na
tion there Is nothing to choose be
tween one the one hand the corrup-
Honist. the bribe-giver, the bribe
taker, the man who employs hfs great
talent to swindle his fellow-citizens
on a large scale, and, on the other
hand, the preacher of class hatred,
the man who, whether from Ignor
ance or from willingness to sacrifice
m country to his ambition, persuades
well-meaning but wrong-headed men
to try to destroy the Instruments upon
which our prosperity mainly resis.
Let each group of men beware of and
guard against, the shortcomings to
which that group Is Itself most liable.
I believe that the more farslghted
corporations are themselves comltiR
to recognize the unwisdom of the vio
lent hostility they have displayed dur
ing the last few years to regulation
and control by the nattonalgovern-

will come onlyby pressing various

remedies must lie outside the domain
of all government. Some must lie out

order to secure the attainment of our

There should be regulation by. the na
