Tho railronds should gubmit to rensonablo domands. By o form of law thoy should dircot tho onorgica of tho peoploand curb tho corporations, and theros by avort contost that would bo inovitable, and would rotard tho progross and_wolfara of tho Btato for twonty-fivo yoars.

Undor the firat aoction of tho bill, litigation was optional with tho railronds, and if thoy roducod thoir ratos in accordanco with tho roasonable de- mands of tho Commisslonors, thoy oscaped trouble. Tho rulo waa clastic and floxiblo, and would meat overy emorgoney.
