Commonwealth: 1t was announced
yesterday that Usage City, by a vote of
its city council, Undetermined to with
draw Its complaint heretofore made be-
fore the railroad commissioners against
the Atchison, Topeka s. Santa Fe rail-
road. This was brought about after a
thorough canvass of the situation, when
the conclusion was arrived at that it was
for the interests of the people of that
locality to do so. Yesterday Hon. Joseph
Waters, chief attorney for Usage City,
Newton and Great Bend, formally with
drew from the case, being satisfied, as
we understand, that there really had
been no injustice done that it was IN the
power of the commissioners to rectify-
at least without doing greater
injustice to other interests We
presume, although we know nothing
about il, that the other cities will with
draw their complaints, owing to
the conclusion that if there
has been wrong done they have not com
menced In the right way to rectify it. As
The Commonwealth has frequently
stated, this rate question over railroads
is complex one and requires most care
full handling to accomplish any good.
The Board of Railroad Commissioners
have been looking over the ground,
viewing everything in calm and judi
cious manner, and we have no doubt
that whatever conclusion they now ar
rive at Will be satisfactory. They
can do much good to the people as
an advisory board, acting as a similar
commission under a similar law does
in Iowa, as medium of difference be-
tween them.
