win Rate Cutting -Flash

Austin, Texas. January 23.-The Dallas
freight bureau has served notice upon the
railroad commission that 1t has quit said
commission cold. Judging from your re-
port that YOU insist that you can not
make rates from one point in Texas that
do not apply from all others, do not ex.
pect to appear before you again" writes
the chairman of the Dallas institution un-
consciously giving away the fact that un-
less she can get the best of II in the mat.
ter OF rates Dallas has no use for the
commission. Time and again the Dallas
chairman has insisted that all Dallas
wanted was to be 'equalized." Now. how.
ever since she can't get rates that do
not apply from all other points, Dallas
has jumped the game and that on the
eve Of campaign in which the chairman
of the Dallas freight bureau will figure as
candidate for railroad commissioner.
Inc presumption is, therefore, that the
Dallas chairman's candidacy Is based upon
luminosity towards the commission law as
well as toward the commission Itself, since
said law specifically prohisits the making
of rates which do not operate to the equal
advantage of all points. In other words
the Dallas freight bureau is about to
transform itself into a political organiza-
ton for the purpose of debating. If pos
sible, the selection of a commission that
will give Dallas and its allies every adj
vantage in the matter of freight rates to
the detriment of other trade centers
throughout the State.
