It should be made the duty of tbe Interstate Commerce Commission, in the exercise of Its powers to fix rea sonable rates, to so adjust these rates that they ahall be just at once to tbe public and to the carriers. To this end tbe Cotum^sion. in determining rates, should consider the necessity of main taining efficient transportation and ex tensions of facilities, the relation of expenses to rates and the rights of shippers, stockholders and creditors of the roads. & The Interstate Commerce Commis sion should be Invested with the pow er to tlx the rates for carrying mails. 7.

Tbe law should recognize the es sential difference between things which restrain trade in the case of ordinary mercantile concerns and those which restrain trade in the case of common carriers. The question of competition Is not the only fair criterion. 9. The law should expressly provide for the meeting and agreement of traf fic or other officers of railroads in re spect of rates or practices. This should, however, be safeguarded by requiring tbe agreements to be filed with the Interstate Commerce Commis sion and to be subject to be disapprov ed by it “My legal proposition,” Mr. Thom said, “to that tbe Constitution as ft now is gives full authority to Congress to regulste the’lnstrumentalitles of in terstste commerce in sll their parts.
