you call 'imperfect and ill-advised
legislation?' "
Mr. Aldnch eald the senate hadn t
waited, and he cited the Elkits law
to show that it had done something.
But he had to admit that neither
the Elkins law nor the Hepburn
bill would eolve the problem.

they ripireliSft wiHiiibttBem to:
act. ' The 9ehSte which lefiators
call the bead of the government,
isn't the head of the government.
The senate, like a political bosp, or.-
y represents the head of the gov
ernment, which is Big, Business.
Mr. Aldnch objects to .tnat view.
He met it by citing his own case.
He referred to the charge that be
represented Standard Oil, and he
didn't deny it; he said that be nev
er went to see these people or re
ceived insttuctions from them.
No," I answered, "and if I were
they, I'd ne-yer send for you or offer
to send you instructions. That
wouldn't seem necessary. If I bad
a man like you here representing
me I'd trust yon to do instinctively
what was right for me."
When he grasped the point that
I did not mean to charge bribery or
any thing that hcjwouid (all cor
ruption againet him or the senate,
be admitted all that n-ed be alleged.
Of course a man is influenced
h!e," he said, "by the business he
has been in, by the alliances he has
foimed nd by his environment.
Well, that s all there le of it.
Tnere are senatois under suspicion
(ad conviction) of taking "fees"
0 "retainers"; the senate has its re-
t ill trade. And, as good an author

! -al in the House oi the policy of
erfircing certain railroad law
But I want to disregard all this
"caeap, "exceftional," "sporad
io" corruption and get down to the
bottom truth. And when Mr. Al
drich admitted that a tenator is
"influenced by the busiLess he has
been in, by the alliances he has
formed and by his environment,"
we were scraping bottom ' ' .
Senator Aldrich was n street rial
way "magnate. Ignoring for the
moment the corruption of the peo
ple of Rhode Island, which enabled
him' to coatrol hia state legislature
it is enough to say that he, having
that power, used it to "grant his
company privileges which his peo
pie opposed, and which netted him
