The Interstate Commerce Commission
The Interstate Commerce Commission in a recent report emphasizes anew its complaint concerning the discriminations against the small shipper practised by the railway. It points to Congress as the source of more effective laws for railway control. It says: “The fullest power of correction is vested in Congress, and the exercise of that power is demanded by the highest considerations of public welfare.” But Congress will do nothing, even as it has been doing for years with knowledge of conditions. By and by there will be a revolution, and the revoluters will promise themselves better government; but the spirit of greed will corrupt new law-makers as it has the old. The only thing which will stand against the fearful corruptions of these times is a heart in which the principles of righteousness are written by the grace of Christ. But such ones are not politicians.
