A DETERMINED FIGHT,

A number of New York CAPITALISTS
are interested in the fight against the
railroads now going on in the state
of Arkansas. and at the meeting of the
Arkansas railroad commission next
week it is expected that definite act
ion will be taken regarding the re-
duction of passenger rates. The board
recently passed such a resolution and
Judge Higgins. chairman Of the COM
mission. believes that the board has
sufficient power TO enable it to make
the action proposed. Railroads have
been given notice Of the contemplated
change and it is expected that they
will make a determined fight against
the resolution. It is proposed to re-
duce the rate from 8 cents to , -
cents per mile That the rates in Ar
kansas are too high there is NOT II,
slightest doubt. hnt il is nc.,eihlo TO
put them so low that the courts will
not sustain the action of the commits
Sien.
It is also true that the freight rates
are much more excessive than the
passenger rates.
