' Secretary Root accepted Mr. Hani man's challenge promptly and pre faced his prepared speech by saying: -Mr. Harriman, I believe, in his speech to-night -would have us give more power to the railroads. t "The experience I gained from a knowledge of railroad business tn the State of Missouri, at attme when th railroads were competing for busi ness, led me to believe that the best means of regulating traffic and rail way affair 4 the sailways themselves. I believe, that is toay, that a wis law Is on that would tore .the railroad to combine m keeping th law- a law that would prevent the railroad from breaking the law. "I repeat that the best regulation can be brought about by the rail roads themselves tt they will only do. It. Their power, Mr. Harriman, should b supplemented by govern mental control, such that would, pre vent them from doing wrong. . - PBJVTLEGEl OFTEN ..ABUSED. . ' "It Is doubtless the case that a rail way by special compensation or 'spe cial rate oan hope to tulld , up a bigger and better business. Neverthe less, science ot government always gives - a chance. fThe privilege ' lot the railroads In discrlmlnatlngvln th matter of special rates and compen sation 1 too often abused, ss we hare seen.. - "It la the common tendency of rail roads to give advantage to th weal thy shipper agalnat the weaker or smaller one. "It Is that tendency so. often dis playeda tendency to crush th weak. For this reason; I say that it la necessary, it ta essential to free dom and independence that the rail road ahould to held under control to prevent discrimination. Th alight advantage that th railroad would gain by mors power th power that Mr. Harriman asks for would be so greatly offset by the evil that such a proposition would not be considered a moment.'
