It secured much closer supervision of railway transactions and brought within the operation of the same statute express comparies, sleeping car companies, fast freight and refrigerator lines, terminal railroads and pipe lines, and forbade in future the combination of the transportation and shipping business under cne control in order to avoid undue discrimination. President Roosevelt directed suits to be brought and prosecutions to be instituted under the anti-trust law to enforce its provisions against the most powerful of the industrial corporations. He pressed to passage the pure food law and the meat inspection law in the interest of the health of the public, clean business methods and great ultimate benefit to the trades themselves.

The railroad rate bill was more useful possibly in the immediate moral effect of its passage than even in the legal effect of its very useful provisions. From its enactment dates the voluntary abandonment of the practice of rebates and discriminations by the railroads and the return by their managers to obedience to law in the fixing of tariffs. The pure food and meat inspection laws and the prosecutions directed by the President under the anti-trust law have had a similar moral effect in the general business community and have made it now the common practice for the great industrial corporations to consult the law with a view to keeping within its provisions. It has also had the effect of protecting and encouraging smaller competitive companies so that they have been enabled to do a profitable business.
