don't think he ever died. 1 never

"When the editor makes a mis

big fuss, but if a doctor makes a
mistake there is a funeral, cut
flowers and perfect silence.
"A doctor can use a word a

will ask the committee to consider In
Its Investigation: They will endeavor
to demonstrate to the commission that
one of the principal defects In the pres
ent system of railroad regulation Is
the lack of coordination resulting from
the simultaneous and conttlctitifr reifu
latlon by the federal government and
by the 4S states. They will, therefore.
ask that entire governmental control
of the rates and practices of Interstate
carriers, except purely local matters.

body so that Interstate trafllc may be
regulated without refetenee to stnte
lines, leaving to the Htate commissions
Jurisdiction only over local matters and

accompanied by federal supervision of
railroad stock and bond Issues.
A reorganization of the Interstate
Commerce Commission will be asked.
In order to enable the commission prop
erly to exercise t.s Increased powers.
It Ih also proposed that the preparation
and prosecution of cases against the
railroads shall be delegated to some
other agency of the government, possi
bly the Department of Justice, so that
the commission may devote Its ener
gies to Its administrative functions.
With the commission thus relieved
of some of its present duties and equip
ped to handle Its business more prompt
ly, the railroads will urge that the pe
riod during which the commission may
now suspend proposed Increases In
rates be reduced from ten months to
(V) days, with provision for reparation
to lie paid to the shippers If the ad
vance shall be declared unreasonable.
They will also ask that the commis
sion be given the jtower to prescribe
minimum as well as maximum rates
so thnt. In meeting complaims of dis
crimination the commission may order
the advance nt a rate which It consid
ers too low.
One of the most Important recom
mendations for which the railroads
will nsk favorable consideration lg
that the commission bo specifically
authorized to take Into account lu
rate regulation the effect, of rates
upon total eurulngs lu'the llflit of expenses.
