President Roosevelt thanks Representative Hinshaw for sending him the clipping about the Hepburn railroad rate bill and says that he believes that the most important part of the bill is the “prompt application of the rate schedule” as directed by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Congress has done everything that it can to ensure that the bill will not be held up by the courts in the event of an appeal. However, Roosevelt notes that there is no way to completely prevent any legislative action from being appealed to the courts.
