another large plant is about to be To-
Gated on the East Park Industrial adj.
dition, and that the present steel plan;
which is being put in order, will be
ready to start up by the first Of the
year. A report is also current among
those in close touch with the official
authorities, that the B. and o, Railroad
Company will extend its branch switch
from Hickman's on through to Colfax,

sage of last year, excepting perhaps
in his suggestions as to railway pool

editorial columns this week. Briefly
summarized, these recommendation
are as follows:

complete stop to rebates in every
shape and form.
(2) This power should be afffrma'
tive and should be given to some ad'
ministratiye body created by Con.
Sress.
(3) Such law should confer the
power to decide upon the case being
brought before this administrative
body, whether a given rate pre-
scribed by a railroad Is reasonable
and just, and if found to be unreason-
able and unjust, then, after full inves-
tigation of the complaint, to prescribe
the limit of the rate beyond which it
shall not be lawful to gO-the maxi.

ernment to put stop to agreements

in the Presidents judgment, be &C.
companied by power to permit, under
specified conditions and careful SUI.

interest Of the public.
(5) All private car lines, industrial
