Glass and Commodity Rate Sheet Not
a Bugbear.

A. B. Stickney has issued a sample
eight-page freight rate schedule on all
class and commodity freight between
stations in Minnesota. In the accom-
panying letter Mr.. Stickney says:
''This booklet, containing only seven
pages, when the commodity rates are
fixed by the Minnesota railroad commits
sion and filed in the blank spaces, will
contain all the Minnesota state rates.
1t is an advance proof only. If you ex-
anime it, you will see that any man of
ordinary understanding can determine
for himself the rates: When any rate is
changed, I propose that the entire book
let shall be republished sos that at all
times all the rates shall be found in one
booklet. This schedule, when filed with
the railroad commission, will take the
place of over 1870 separate schedules
and amendments now on file with said

that only an expert. can determine the
