Power to Make Rates Big Problems for Congress
The article discusses the Presidents call to reform interstate rail tariffs amid fierce opposition to granting the Interstate Commerce Commission power to set rates. It warns the Quarles Cooper bill could overload the commission with reviews, creating delays, legal wrangles, and widespread disruption, while urging practical supervision and stable rates through balanced regulation and cooperation between government and railroads.
District Commissioners close scrutiny of district finances in hearing
District Commissioners and members of the Appropriations Committee held a long session from 6 am to 6 pm examining the District of Columbia appropriation bill in detail. Commissioner Macfarland said substantial progress had been made, noting they had completed half the bill. A hearing today was canceled as the full committee meets the urgent deficiency bill. There is hope for a 600000 addition for the municipal building though the overall budget deficit may block it. The Incal appropriation hearing resumes tomorrow at 11 am.
