On the All Important Freight Rate
Problem

Agitation and organization are all
right" said Senator Tapp last night.
when asked his views on the freight rate
question.
They are all right as far as they go,
but the only people that the railroad COM
panies really fear are congress and the
legislators, and l think that the best way
to settle this question is through con-
gress and the state legislature.
'rhe thing TO do is to select men whose
records are X, who are not owned by
the railroad companies and cannot be
bought by them. pledge them to this thing
and get the majority in the legislature

people IS a good thing, but the surest and
the quickest way is through congress and

bricks when cable which held the tenn

distance of nearly forty feet. The man
was badly cut and bruised about the
face and his left foot was slightly hurt
His mouth was severely cut and his right
cheek clear through done probably by
the sharp edge OF a brick as the wheel
