Every suit that has been brought
against the combinations or the rail
roads, has been brought through the
Elkins law or the Sherman anti
trust law, two laws that were on the
statute books before the enactment
of the railroad rate law and simply
never had beeis- enforced.

Is the people who are dependent on
the growth of the railroads and their
expansion and their ability to haul

of them and hobnobbing with them
as to the best way to win the elec

he turns on them and, In order to
make a grandstand play, he asserts
that he Is going to do things to
them which scare capital Into hiding
and the railroads cannot borrow any
money to make extensions or build
new Hues that are needed to haul
the commerce of the country.
