Excerpt from Regulation of Commerce Among the States: The Governmental Policy of Thomas Jefferson Vindicated by the Lessons of Experience; Views of the Interstate Commerce Commission in Regard to Governmental Rate-Making

The fact seems to have escaped general notice, and to a considerable extent to have been overlooked in Congress that the despotic powers thus sought to be secured by the Commission would if conferred institute in this country a bureaucratic despotism as absolute and as galling as that which the more advanced nations of Europe have long since repudiated, but which still lingers in Russia as the dominant cause of the struggle for civil liberty now going on in that unhappy country.

Under the pretense of applying new methods to new conditions, the advocates of governmental rate-making have had recourse to an antique method scorned by the civilized globe.
