he also recommends the creation of a

law the President suggests arc that the
Commission should have power TO act
without any one complaining, in cases
of violation Of the law or Of regulations
against the railroads; that il should
proceed of its own motion, make in.
vestigations, and inspect new rates with
a view TO ascertaining whether they arc
conformable TO law and right or not;

one makes complaint.
