Excerpt from The Railway Problem: With Many Illustrative Diagrams IN the report to Congress, the Senate select com mittee which reported the act commonly known as the Interstate Commerce Law says that the testi mony taken, the statements received, and the inter est everywhere manifested in its investigations have convinced the committee that no general question of governmental policy occupies at this time so prom inent a place in the thoughts of the people as that of controlling the steady growth and extending in ¿uence of corporate power, and of regulating its relations to the public, and as no corporations are more conspicuously before the public eye, and as there are none whose Operations so directly affect every citizen in the daily pursuits of his business or avocation as the corporations engaged in transporta tion, they naturally receive the most consideration in this connection.
