more aggressive playing spirit

increased public interest.
No special call to arms has been or

taken by their chief executive, John

I'll have to hit Carnera more often

That extra rs pounds means just
that much more target space, and

CeorgetcWn's basket ball contest

during the same period.
Assignment Of Cases.
Cases are assigned for hearing be-
fore commissioner or examiner, usu-
ally at point requested by the COM
plainant or at some place convenient
to him. The commission has au-
thority to subpoena witnesses and
order the production of records and
other documents at any hearing. An
official reporter records all the testi-
mony given by witnesses under oath.
In most cases an examiner prepares
proposed report containing a state
ment Of the issues and facts and
findings and conclusions which he
thinks should be made. This report
is served upon the parties, who are
permitted to file such exceptions to
it as they deem appropriate. The
case may then be argued orally before
the commission, after which 1t is con-
sidered in conference and a final re-
port or decision published. Where the
parties agree, a case may be submitted
and decided without oral hearing on

aggregate-of-intermediate rates. Upon
adequate showing and In the public
interest the commission may author
ize departures from the provisions of
this so-called fourth section"
One of the most important provi-
sions of the act Is the requirement
that every carrier subject to its pro-
visions shall file with the commission
and print and keep open to public
inspection schedules showing all the
rates, fares and charges for trans
portation between different points on
its own line and between points on
lines Of other carriers with which 1t
has joint rates. I say this is one of
the most important provisions because
it enables a shipper to know the
freight charges of his competitors. 1t
was this lack of publicity in rates
which was one of the chief causes
leading up to the act to regulate COM
merce. A Senate committee reporting
q bill in 1886, which was the founda-
ton OF the act to regulate commerce,
in its report stated:
"The provisions of the bill are
based upon the theory that the para
mount evil chargeable against the
operation of the transportation sys-
tenn Of the United States as now con-
Quoted, Is unjust discrimination be-
tween persons. places, commodities or
particular description of traffic. The
underlying purpose and aim of the
matter is the prevention of these
determinations, both by declaring
them unlawful and adding to the
remedies now available for securing
redress and enforcing punishment,
and also by declaring the greatest
practicable degree of publicity as to
the rates, financial operations, and
methods of management Of the car
riers.'
Despite its many activities, touch
ing SO closely upon the commercial.

instance to initiate such rates, fares,
charges, ETC., as they deem appro-
pirate. But upon complaint of any
shipper or other interested party upon
adequate showing. the commission
may suspend the effective date of the
proposed schedules and enter upon
hearing concerning their lawfulness
The commission may also suspend
proposed rates upon its own initiative.
The law provides that the commission
shall give to the hearings and de-
cisions of these questions preference
over all others and decide them as
speedily as possible.
The law authorizes cooperation and
conference between State Commits
sions and the Interstate Commerce
Commission with respect to the rela-
tionship between rate structures and
practices Of carriers engaged In inter-
state and intrastate commerce. The
State Commission retains Jurisdiction
over the intrastate situation, but each
body reaches its conclusion on a COM
mon record made at joint hearing
and after conference between the
State and Interstate Commissions.
Cooperation with the State Commits
sionS has been most helpful, especially

agricultural, industrial and social life
Of the country, generally one has only
a vague idea Of the commissions
work. 1t has no publicity director.
The commission Is probably best
known through its decisions in rate
cases. 1t has been estimated by COM
petent authority that cases involving
more than three hundred million
dollars d year have come before the
commission. The commission has
been referred to as a poor mans
court. There are no filing fees or
court costs" When shipper de-
sires to attack a rate or rates which
he thinks violative Of the law, he may
file complaint, copies of which are
served on the carriers, who must
answer within q definite time speci-
fed by the commissions rules. 1t
has been the endeavor Of the COM
mission to make rules and regulations
which tend toward simplification of
pleadings and conduct of hearings.
Legal technicalities so often only OBJ
structive are not tolerated. Lengthy
cross-examinations, which frequently
occur in some trial courts and are
often merely q battle of wits and add
nothing of factual nature, are
frowned upon. In q single year

that is, 1t is not attached to or part
of any of the executive departments.
The original act has been amended
from time to time, in order to Keep
pace with the economic and industrial
progress of the country, and as ex-
perience in regulatory administration
has required. Prof. Sharfman, In DIS
comprehensive work on the inter-
state Commerce Commission, OF which
two volumes have already been issued,
says, THE very fact that the commits
sion has succeeded in maintaining a
high tradition of performance, despite
its strikingly extensive character OF
activities, has led to its utilization as
a sort of service department OF the
Federal Government in all matters di-
rectly or remotely related to the sphere
of its primary jurisdiction.
Fair and Reasonable Rates.
With respect to his reference to the
commission as sort of Federal serv-
ice department. you recall that when
the last Congress enacted legislation
relating to airmail contracts, concern
ing which there had been a good deal
of controversy, 1t directed the COM
mission to determine fair and reason
able rates for the transportation Of
mail by airplane, and, at least once
every year from the date Of the let
ting of any contract to review the
compensation being paid, in order
that there may be no unreasonable
profits from airmail contracts. 1t has
been called upon by Congress to Ak
the limitations of the four standard
time zones. The commission deter
mines the compensation to be paid the
railroads for the transportation of the
mails, and changes can only be made
in the parcel post rates upon its ap-
proval. The commission was even di-
rected, in 1919, to prescribe the man
ner and form of books to be kept by
gas and electric utilities in the District
of Columbia. In fact, its activities
and duties are so many that in the
time at my disposal this evening I can
only touch upon some of them, and
these not in such detail as I would
like. Judge r. v. Fletcher in his
treatise on the growth of American
administrative law says: THE magni-
tude and Importance of the economic
interests subject to the commissions
Jurisdiction, coupled with the extraor-
dinarily wide range of power and
discretion vested in and exercised by
the commission, have even led to such
sweeping statements as the following:
1T is a common saying that it is the
most powerful body in the world, ad-
ministrative or otherwise, and when
its authority is closely examined, there
will probably be few dissenters from
this view" While we do not take
this view Of the power of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, we are
willing that its Importance be judged

Oy the record OF lLS accompaniment,
as illustrated by its 204 bound vol
umes of decisions. In 1917. Congress,
realizing the great volume of work
coming before the commission, and
with a view to its expedition. pro-
vided that 1t might act In divisions to
consist of not less than three commits
sioners.
During its entire history the COM
mission has been singularly free from
political partisanship or executive or
legislative interference. In all Of its
more than Al years Of existence, no
shadow Of scandal has touched the
commission or any commissioner in
the administration Of the various du-
ties imposed by Congress.
If may be permitted personal
reference, 1t was the commissions
record of achievement and the oppor-
tunities afforded for national public
service which greatly influenced me to
resign membership on the Supreme
Court of my State, In which position
and environment I was most happy,
to become a member of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Demands Of the Law.
The law declares that rates, fares,
charges, practices and classifications
shall be just and reasonable, shall not
be unjustly discriminatory, or give
any undue or unreasonable preference
or advantage to any person, traffic,
or locality or subject any person, traf-
flc or locality to undue prejudice or
