that the interstate commerce COM
mission would enter upon a wholesale
reduction of railway rates if the bill
granting them the power to fix rates
should become a law" asks the Wa
terloo Courier and goes on to say the
bill provides that the commission shall
have the power to fix a fair rate and
to protect the public against unfair
rates and rate inequalities. 1t simply
looks to the giving of equal opportun-
tiles to all and special privileges to
none. In jumping to violent conclu-
sons and raising the cry of confisca-
ton the railways are revealing the in

confessing their sins. All the people
