A DISPATCH from Wash
ington states that Governor Brown,
chief promoter of the Texas Pacific
Railroad legislation, who is now in
Washington, predicts that the dou-
bling of freight charges over the
Union Pacific from New York to
San Francisco, which now amounts to
$2,400 for freight cars, will result in
the passage of law at the next
session of Congress regulating rates
of freight over the Pacific roads.
Governor Brown says, however, that
the only real remedy is competition,
which, of course, means the Texas
Pacific. We do not believe that the
country can look to Congress for any
relief on the fares and freights ques-
ton, unless it comes in the shape of
aid toward the construction of com
peting lines.
