Publisher description
Excerpt from Speech of Hon. Robert M. La Follette, of Wisconsin, in the Senate of the United States, April 19, 20, and 21, 1906, And, Amendments to Strengthen the Rate Bill Offered by Mr. La Follette: The Arguments and Votes Upon the Same in the Senate of the United States, May 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 18, 1906 Mr. President: The opponents of the regulation of railway rates and services have skillfully conducted this debate almost from the beginning upon constitutional grounds. This has pre vented the Senate from giving consideration to the provisions of the bill and the abuses which call for correction. For many days the discussion has been confined to a con sideration of the court procedure to test the orders of the Inter state Commerce Commission. The importance of this branch of the subject will depend entirely _upon the character of the orders which the Commission is authorized to make. The im portance of any order issued will depend upon the power con ferred and the duties imposed by law upon the Commission. The authority of the Commission may be so limited that the procedure for the enforcement of its orders will be relatively of little public importance. The scope of the bill will determine the importance of all orders and all court review. For these reasons, at the beginning of what I shall say to-day, I would bring the discussion back to the' broadest consideration of the subject with which this bill proposes to deal.
