Knox backs rate talks as busy senator defers on Hepburn bill
Senator Knox tells The Post he is too occupied with Interoceanic Canals work to study the Hepburn rate bill. He cites his Pittsburg Chamber speech as his mature view, asserting there is no need to change his positions on rate regulation and explaining why railroads should retain a direct remedy through courts while the public lacks such recourse. He discusses the limits of Congress to assign nonjudicial duties to courts and the impossibility of a court to directly set future rates, even on appeal.
