FAVORS I Will" OMllIIEIlGE (Continued from First: Page.) The most vital question which “11' derlles your inquiries is, in substance. whether i object in principle to the creation of a tribunal to hear and of- fectively pass upon complaints about railroad charges and railroad service. Favors Tribunal to Decide Controver- sies Between Jubtlc and Railroad. if i understand this question might. i agree that it ought to receive a frank and unequivocal reply~ My answer is. categorically: No; i do not, But I respectfully submit through you to the people of this Slalom-First. That such a tribunal ought to have the indepen- deuce, impartiality and ability which for many generations have character- ized our courts of justice; and, Second- ly, That such a tribunal ought not to exercise functions which are properly legislative in their nature. but ought on the other hand to decide without arbitrariness between the parties to each controversy. according to justly- osiabllshod principles and rules of law. The General Assembly. You invite a discussion by me of the trustworthiness of the General Assem- bly of Connecticut. if i may be frank without. giving offence. l have to con- fess that in private l have often exec clued the American citizens privilege of finding fault with American legisla- tures. [have privately said that there are so many individual members in any American legislature who are more or less prejudiced against rail— road corporations. and it is often ox- trcmely difficult for such a corporation to get a fair hearing before it. liere ln.Connocticut a great disturb- unce is sometimes made because of what seems to us an entirely reason- able request for legislation for tho ben‘ slit of our business. which in conceded to be the largest luminous in this State. in spite of all argument upon our part. such requests by us are more often refused titan not. and have sometimes been refused when precisely similar requests made by others have been no tualiy granted for their benefit at. the some session. Yet in spite of the various facts or supposed facts on which all sorts of peoplebsue all sorts of more or less contilctlng coinplsiuts against the (ion- neclleut legislature. we must. i think. all admit that if we took back over a sufficient term or yours. nothing has happened in Connecticut lbw. ousht. to shake our faith in the principles of representative government or in the wisdom of our own Constitution. it We now examine in retrospect the do than of the General Assembly at any session sudlclontly long past to admit of a calm. historical Judgment. we do not find that the State has suffered any serious harm either through any laws that were then passed or because of the failure to pass any of the hundreds of hills which were then introduced. it any fair minded. thinking man has an impression that this milmd Com- pany has unreasonably influenced in its own favor the legislation of this state. i respectfully ask him to “me too all the oxldtlnu statutes of Connec- ticut, whether public or private. Whlilh universally effect this Company or it's business, and than candidly to decide for himself whether we have obtained any legislation from which thefitste has experienced any injury. 1 «reest- ly assert. tbs we have never willfully promoted as legislation which the at. rectors or officers of the Railroad Con» puny have thought to no in any respect marten: to the public. Nor have in any temptation to seek initiation in the future; tor. it is our absolute cote notion that the later-«ta orrtlis nail- i‘osd Company are so lntlmntel bound on with the interests of the t mam whlohihe "railroad acres. that.

My experience in a good many differ- ent states coming me that all large luminous. and co luly the railroad business, is better off. the better the character of the government. i should be more conxfortablu. it i could dream *wilh others about what is going to be accomplished by renewed efforts to put none but honest. independent and can able then in public office. But whether in politics or business. no type of man is more dangerous than the unprncti- cal dreamer. . . , it is an old saying that the heat pos- sible government would be a despot- ism. if we could only be sure of always having the ideal despot. Those who are in a hurry to see accomplished some social reform. are apt to call for the creation of despotic authority for the purpose, and to calmly onetime that the proposed despot when crest- cd will prove to be the ideal despot. lint all human experience demonstrat- on that We cannot reasonably expect to get the despot of our dreams, and that arbitrary Imiitlcal authority can- not safely be grained to any man or to any commiuaidlt.

You ask mo specifically why the printed mileage of the railroad was increased by too miles a few months lilo. The “timer is that this was a blunder which was immediately cor rooted.
