Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-Sixth Annual Report of the Railroad Commission of Kentucky, for the Year 1905 The Iegislatures of other States having railroad commissions are in advance of Kentucky in recognizing the importance of this office and the necessity for providing adequate clerical force and salaries to the commissioners. We believe the time has come when the attention of the General Assembly of Kentucky should be called to this matter, and we feel confident that when the situation is fully understood the relief which this office so much needs will be granted in order that its duties may be properly performed.
