Grenville M. Dodge is happy to hear that President Roosevelt was well-received in the South, and he expresses appreciation for the quick, decisive action that Roosevelt took during the yellow fever scare in New Orleans. Dodge believes that the success of the Interstate Commerce Commission will be dependent upon Congress granting Roosevelt the authority to appoint its members and to provide a salary sufficient to command the ablest experts.
