aerated statements.
‘Senator Cumlnins compared the rail-I

races in railroad rates of five per cent. 4
will amount in one year to more than
all the tolls, paid by all the ships that

y . "in connection with the proceedings
'lIei’ore the commission," be continued.
”there is in progress the most compre»
hensive, energetic and persistent cum-
paign that i have ever witnessed to
make the people of the country believe
that the effort of the government to
negulate railwaysyrailway rates and
"railway practices has resulted in dis-
lmal, disastrous failure; that the Gov-
ernment in its endeavor to protect the
people had. impoverished the transpor-
tation companies; that it has driven
them to the very verge of bankrupt-
,cy and ruin; that it has destroyed their
credit and rendered them incapable of
performing the service which coin-
inlerce demands: that it has outlawed
them from the confidence of capital
and exiled them from the field of the
investor.
‘Tliis mtmordinsry campaign has
filled the m‘wspmlers nith headlines.
with dispatches, with letters and with
leditoriais. it has taken [lUSBt‘a‘SlOH of
the magazines, out of which : Ik af-
.ter week issue appeals for in .co to

dinners and holds public banquets
"where the eloquence of orniors paints
iiurid pictures of empty trensill‘ies. of
; wonrout tracks. of falling bridges and
. dilupltiatdd equipment."
f” Senator Cllnlmius quoted from seven
Llll lllllgnzino and newspaper stories
‘gi-villg accounts ot‘ how different ruli-
fronds had been forced to discharge
Iiargc llulllilels of employee and re-
;trencll in their expenditures.
'1 do not assert that the campaign
in being carried on to illicit the com
;llllssioll,’ he continued.‘ 'fol the rail
gronli companies knew that it cannot
,be swerved a hair's breath from the
‘path of its duty, bull do assert timtthe
movers of this campaign are trying to
do an inilnitely more objectionable
thing They are trvlnl: to mislead and
‘pel'vcrt the jugdlnc'lt of the people.
They are trying to awaken sylllputily
.‘lly false pretenses. They are trying
Ito deceive the country with exagger-
inted cries of suffering and distress in
{order to escape the control which ex-
fperlenee has demonstrated should be
imposed upon nil. corporations which
'undcrtalle a public service."
‘ ”the senator denied that the people
let the United States cre'hostlle to‘the
railroads. and said tailt every one de-
sired that all railroads be well- --oon
inlructed and wellLoperatcd. He did
lnllt doubt that there were some rules
which should be increased and some
which allotlid be decreased.
l Senator Cummins recalled that sub-
"llinntinlly all the railroad rates now

themselves. and added that ill his opill

railroad rates should be increased. lief
