President Roosevelt's message to congress was an able document. It proves conclusively that the president intends to occupy the chair himself. What he hafd to say about railroad rebates has aroused considerable interest all over the country. It is the intention of the president io put a stop to unfair rebates and discriminations by invoking the immediate aid of the federal courts and seeking to punish the offenders. He suggests that a reasonable rate be fixed by the interstate commerce commission which should stand until upset by the courts, whereas now the reverse is true. And the intersate commerce commission can not enforce its decisions until after the

courts have sustained it, the original and unjust rate being maintained in the meantime. Under what is known as the Elkins law, which was passed by the last congress, it is within the power of the president to institute criminal proceedings against any and all persons and coroporations who offer or receive illegal rebates. This law is on the statute books and can be appealed to by any district attorney without any directions from the president or attorney general. It is one of that class of laws, however,

which is ' not enforced except under

specific instructions from Washington, and these directions, it is under

stood from the president's message,
