I do not mean in changing our fundamental law. I mean in the adoption of such a necessary instrument of legislation as this. If we have a monetary commission. an Interstate Commerce Commission. an Immigration Commission. there are more reasons for a body of experts in this line. whose sole business it shall be to find out the facts which Congress itself can not find out satisfactorily in the time given them. and it has seemed to me incomprehensible that there should be any resistance to that idea. Only the inertia of custom is a sufficient explanation. There are others that might be given. but I never indulge in those.
