They for* got all the benefit* they bad rc eelved from the railroad* and re membered only their Injuries. Tin consequence was that they natural ly went to the other extreme, and Instead of conferring liberal powers upon the railroads, they thro* around them, through the Railroad Commission, unnatural and embar noting restriction a. In their desire to escape from tho supposed thrall dom of the railroads they organ bed an irresponsible commission, to whom they delegated powers sever before conferred upon any official body power* that belonged to the legislative, Judiolal and ex eeetivv) departments combined. Imbuod with tho spirit which call ed it into existence, this Commix alon naturally looked only to tb< aealriotion of the railroads, noi ’ thinking that when they imposed unnatural restrictions they imped ed oommsroo and thereby worked an Injury to tho interest ot the peo ple.

Take the caso of a little over a year ago, when the Commission announced a rcductioL of rates on ootton at a certain date, thereby indiioing shippers to bold back their cotton, and then only a few days before tho reduced rate was to go into effect the order wa* rescinded. The accumulation of cotton at this point earned a block ade, but Instead of bolding Ihi- Commisalon to acooubt ft* it the railroad' was b.amed and the power ol tho Commission was invoked to oompe 1th* railroad to haul off in a few days what had been laiing ior weeks.
