The drafters OF the resolution had
said that they could travel the rail-
road rate road with President Roose-
welt as far as he desired TO eliminate
unjust discrimination from the rate
schedules, but when he struck out to
place the rate fixing power in the hands
OF a commission. they had to halt. A
few members of the committee, incind-
ing J. T. McHugh, of Cincinnati. de-
clared that there is a crying need OF a
commerce commission 10 fix rates, but
while his oratory was applauded. his
counter resolution was voted down.
The best compromise the rate commit
tee would grant was 90 have the rate
fixing power practically put in the hands
OF Federal courts. and let the Interstate
Commerce Commission serve as pre-
feet" To see that the judges attend TO
their work This scheme. however, was
pronounced inadvisable by Representa-
tive Stevens.
Let the judicial departments take
care of their own business" he argued.
They have enough work TO do already
and a Judge should be confined to hts
own special line OF work, for which he
is educated.
The rate fixing power must be kept
clear from the prosecuting power The
executive work OF investigating cases
must De confined 20 a department also.
There are great many people who be
lieve that this great controversy over
rates should be decided by a disinter-
ested public tribunal. II must be one
that can have no interest whatever in
the cases to be tried.
