The present system of rate regulation is not right. The arbitrary change of a matter so far reaching as railroad rates, without consent of the Interstate Commerce Commission, and with a notice so short that it plays havoc with contracts taken under existing rates, is wrong.

No rate can be promul­ and is fitted with Bristol recording gated or become effective without first voltmeter; two pilot switches; two receiving the sanction and approval of overload relays, one for each set of the Commission. In the United States when a railroad company desires to buses; and a contact making volt­ change a tariff, it is compelled by law meter, controlling the regulator. All to simply file the proposed tariff for regulators and oil switches are arrang­ thirty days prior to the date of its be­ ed according to an original design coming effective. If the rate is one which allows of their being removed which seriously jeopardizes the rights or repaired without working on live of the shippers who are unfortunate enough to be located along the line wires. The entire apparatus, includ­ of the road, the remedy for the ag­ ing switches, regulators, overload re­ grieved parties is to file a complaint lays and switchboards are designed before the Interstate Commerce Com­ in the office and constructed in the mission, and ask for a hearing, which shops of the city plant.
