INtmlly tho only way to cor rect the discrimination Is to chnme tho rnte, nnd Hit re run bo nothing In the wny of reparation for wrong done In the past, particularly where the case Is one of ill ative rutin to different localities under tho undue pleferenci claue of the law. Tho commission Ii.iIiik no power to pro Bcrlbe n r.ito for tho future. It may fol low ihat It can not fix a differential ns bctwun relatul chargef, and this should be covered by any legislation had upon this Mililect. One class of discriminations the commission never had power to cor rect, even whtn It assumed authority to prescribe maximum rates.

The act to ugulato com merce was passed in obedience to pop ular demand and to rented j admitted evils, and tho expel lence of ton jears Ins demonstrated tht nioeo!ty and jus ttee of such rn net. As that law has been Interpreted there can be no ef fective1 regulation of interstate cairlers and if this Is to be the act must he amended A tilhumil which can stand fur lustier and fairness bitween thesp curlers and tho people must have power to IK n. maximum late to IK a minimum rate in certain Instances, nnd Its older must mean something. RATH ei'TTINC! It Is one thing to secure publication of the pioper rate and another thing to Hieuio ndhoiciice to it I'ndei the sta tute it Is a criminal olfense for a roll v iv official to give or 11 shipper to take, los than the tariff rate At llr.st It was Impossible to obtain evidence of such rate tutting, bicause witnesses could not bo n unpolled to eliminate themselves This was cm 1 tl bv an amendment of the law, which the Supreme court held constitu tional in the llrown case After that de rision rollroid malingers loudly protest t'tl their Intention to mulntaln rntes, but It soon began to In charged, and even t ic Itly admitted by railway officials, that tariff tates were dlitgnided In a re cent Investigation bv the commission of lieers of rallwavs engaged In traffic to thi Atlantic seaboard who must havo Kiown whether i.ites Ind been depart- il from ti stlili-d without exception thnt tli-v bad In all cad h been maintained. Nevertheless the fnei Is well understood t'i hr otherwise. The large shipper tiust, monopoly reapi. tin benefit of these cuts The small shipper p.ivs the full rate The honest shlppi r may be prevented finm doing business at all Tin same is also true with rnrtlers Ah a rule tbev want to obey tho law. I'nder exist ing conditions dishonest railway officials und dishonest shippers may compel ev e.v competing railway nnd every com peting shipper to be dishonest also or wlthdiavv from the business How far this outrageous situation extends the cmmlsfion hah no knowledge, but It Is re 1 tain tint It exists to a considerable extent, and thaj there is pressing need of n rome ily Is not denied The carriers rlnlm that tho remedy lies In tho pas hiirc of n pooling bill. I'OOUNO. An to the wisdom of this legislation tho commission Is not agreed A major ity of thei commission think that pool ing would Improve the rate situation, nnd the pi 1 sent condition Ik bo disastrous that they would bo Inclined to Indorse in good faith any way out of It, but If pooling product uny beneficial lenults It neeesfitilly doen so at the expense of competition lly legalizing pooling tho public lost k the onlv protection It now lias ngulnst the unreasonable exactions of tiKiisportntlon agencies Still, In view of thb whole situation, n majority of the commission would be Inclined to lecom lliciul that the expedient tie tried If suit able safeguards are provided In udvance, but thlH recommendation must be taken only with the limitation stated The members of tho Interstate commerce commission with to sav In the stiongest possible terms that thev are unanimous In the opinion that to overturn the Trans Mlssduit decision, to repeal the llfth sec tion of ll.e liileistate-commeicii act and enuct In Its placet a pooling bill, thereby ptimlttliiK and inviting unlimited com bination between call lei h, would be lit tle better than u crime against the po ple of the United States unless this tribunal, or Home othei tribunal Is at I lie name time Invested with adequate I ovvers of contiol, and thnt nothing lis it degree than thosn outlined In this re port 01 their ccjulvulent would be tide junto, UUt tho commission also points out tli'U congress Is not powerless to icmcely tlt.exlstlng evil of rate cutting without Ki'mrtlnK pooling, and thai ont wny would ha to establish u supervision and Inspec tion at accounts, Including, when neces sary, tho taking charge of one or more stations. That Is no moro rigorous than the syntom under which national baukB exist;. JJhJ) J not now rccommonded, licwtivor.7 'rti? oommlolon docs .earnest ly recommend that congress undertake tno revision of the ontlre Interstate com merce law. While tho commission can. In a hnltlng fashion, correct Kotrie forum of '(Incriminations, adjust differences be twter carriers and shippers lufotmally. conduct Investigations nnd mako reports, i.nd publish statistical Information, It hud, by virtue of Judicial decision, ceased to bo a body for the regulation of cur rlcr,ii.
