The railroads won in the famous
North Dakota contest between them
and the state commission who attemp.
ted to reduce the freight rates. The
commissioners failed to prove that the
roads were making more than q reason
able profit and the law allows them
that much. South Dakota railroad
commissioners will hardly be caught
mapping on that point AS they have gone
very thoroughly INTO the facts and tgur-
es OF original cost, expense OF manage
ment, bonds. interest, etc, and what
they do not show up IN the extortion OF
the railway companies will be what the
latter actually refuse to divulge and be
ing in possession OF the railroads only
the commissioners cannot be- held per
sonally responsible for the failure. We
anticipate an entirely different verdic,
in the case OF the South Dakota com
m%,sslOners.

The editor OF the Anoover Gazette ia
commenting upon the complaints OF

says that "until at least one legislature

Every session OF the Legislature changes
the form OF the ballot and occasionally
between sessions the courts take q

that any opposition manifested against the
