Charles Stedman Hanks details what he views as problematic statistical inaccuracies practiced by railroad companies and their statisticians that will interfere with the effectiveness of the Hepburn bill. In his letter, Hanks describes the “terminal game” document as a “hypothetical case” based on facts he had Mr. Harriman work out, which he hopes will impress upon President Roosevelt what the railroad terminal situation means as applied to the statistical reports and to the regulation of rates by the Commission. The document includes an illustration.
