pepartmentary Commissioners.


The most sensible and businesslike
plan is that of the interstate com.
merce commission providing for de-
partmentary commissioners at places
remote from Washington. Under the
old regime, in which the commission
ers themselves travelled all over the
country TO hear complaints-many of
them of comparatively small conse-
Iuence-the shipping interests suf-
fered intolerable DELAYS. Many months
often interviewed between hearings on
the same complaint. Inquiries were
interrupted by the multifarious de-
mands on the time of the commission.
ers, and business suffered correspond.
ingly. While all the plans for the
new regime have not been completed,
it is expected, says System Magazine,
that the departmentary commissioners
will be assigned to groups of states
remote from Washington, and that of
fees will be opened in such cities as
Chicago. st. Louis. San Francisco and
st. Paul. The deputy commissioners
will keep in touch with railroad mat
ters and will have authority to con.
duct hearings on complaints and TO
adjust minor difficulties. The depu'
ties, of course. will have no rate-fixing
power, but will report testimony to
the commission itself. somewhat as a
master in chancery conducts court
hearings. The interstate commerce
commission is fairly buried in com
plants that have been plling up for
months. and although 1t has been ac-
lively at work. the task still ahead of
II appeared hopeless.
