THE Helena World says: A merchant at Pine Bluff received a car of flour from Kansas City, Kas., not long since, paying freight at the rate Of 30 cents per barrel. He sold bill of the same flour to neigh boring merchant, nineteen miles away, and paid 38 cents per barrel freight. He says he cant under stand how it is. If he will inves- tigate little for himself by com pairing freight rates in other States with those of Arkansas, he will find that the solution of cheaper rates elsewhere is a railroad commission or sharp competition. Local ship pers in the State will have to pay these arbitrary rates as long as the Legislature fails to enact q railroad commission. Perhaps the incoming Governor will suggest to the next Legislature the propriety of such legislation.
