Letter from Charles A. Prouty to Theodore Roosevelt

Interstate Commerce Commissioner Prouty believes that the federal government should not establish interstate commerce rates at this time. Some states would bitterly stand against President Roosevelt should he change these policies. States in the South and West, in particular, are confident that the states are already charging fair rates and the national government will increase those rates.

Letter from Charles A. Prouty to Theodore Roosevelt

Charles A. Prouty, in the absence of Interstate Commerce Commission Chairman Martin A. Knapp, writes to President Roosevelt regarding a letter from J. W. Midgley. The matter that Midgley raised is under investigation, and the committee will send Roosevelt a report in the near future. Prouty believes that the matter is one of practical importance, and that if Roosevelt becomes personally invested in the issue, “doing so could not fail to meet with public approval.” Midgley, while not instigating either of the investigations, is nevertheless well informed on the matters, and has been of great service to the Interstate Commerce Commission.
