INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM
MISSION. A recommendation that the mem
bership and powers of the Interstate
Commerce .Commission be increased
by Congress is contained in the annuai
report of the commission made public
today. The commission points out
that the increased volume of its work
makes relief imperative. It also ask
power to delegate to subsidiary bod
ies portions of its work, while re
taining control thereof by the com
mission, so work may be expedited
Other important recommendations
are:
That there be appropriate and ade
quate legislation upon the subject o:"
control of railway capitalization. Tha-.
the commission be given right of ac
cess to enrriers' correspondence files
That the use of steel cars in passen
ger trains be required and that thi
use in passenger ains of woodcr
cars between or in tront of steel cars
be prohibited.
The work of physically valuing tin
railroads is well under way, the com
mission reported. By January 1. sur
veys will have been completed or
about 50.000 miles of track. A rat
of 50.000 miles a year is expected, se
ttle 250,000 miles of road will be fin
ished in four years. This work is
tabulated to date in the office of the
commission. The country has beer
divided into five districts and from 12
to 15 survey parties are at work ir
each. No attempt to fix prices on
the property suiveyed will be made
until the commission collects more
information on costs and prices.
The work of valuing the telegraph
and telephone lines also is well under
way. In its report the Commissior
nowhere suggests that the valuation
work may be made the basis for gov
ernment ownership.
The commission during the year
received 6.500 complaints on the in
formal docket and 6.690 special docket
applications for authority to make re
funds in which reparation was ordered
to the amount of $312,864.61. Thi
number of formal complaints was 964
The commission conducted 1.543 hear
ings, in which were taken . 200.43?
pages of testimony. Amonir the in
vestigations concluded were those of
the alleged guilt of the United States
Steel corporation or its subsidiaries
charged with giving or receiving un
lawful rebates: and that of conditions
surrounding the transportation of pe
trolcitm and anthracite coal, the west
ern rate and the Rock Island case.

MISFITS
An optimist will believe everything
that duca nut refer to money matters.
People need to think twice.
Whether a matter should be left
out of the newspapers is a matter for
the ncwsj,aper to decide.
Almost anything before a gussip-
ping society.
Some one says there is more non
sense than common sense.
It is a big thing to be able to keep
one's mind made up after you have
fixed it once. ,
A funny man says that push and
pull are a hard couple to beat. We
have found that out in going into the
post office and coming out; but there
it is pull fiist and push out.
"Honesty is the best policy!" says
a Medford man. "I know because 1
have tried both."
When money gets to talking eon
science often goes to sleep.
All the conception some people
have of the enjoyment of life is the
spending of money. About the only
time it is really true is just before
nnsimas.
Gee, if any of us could see oursel
ves as others see us. our eyes Would
hug out.
Someone says friendship is the salt
of love. Our experience is that it is
mostly sawdust.
If speech is free in this country
there is no record of any married men
having admitted it
rienty to eat and nothing to do is
one kind of prosperity.
