In beginning his address, Bryan
paid his respects to Graves ana
with what he had said. He compli-

for his honesty and boldness and said
II there was any place in the world
where absolute freedom of speech

that when be had heard that Graves

among the following classes: Tres

trainmen, 50; trespassers on trains.

five passengers on trains were killed
in that period.
The formal complaints which came
before the commission involved many
matters outside of the reduction of
rates. such as the stopping of limited
trains at certain stations. the dis
charging of freight. the construction
df depots, the 'pstallation of better
train service. Many of the complaints
against existing rates were never
brought to an issue. but were dis
missed by the commission on stipula-
ton between the parties even after
they had gone to a formal hearing.

town to Waukesha was ordered re.
duced to 10 cents, and the rate on
mineral water from Waukesha to Mil
waukee to cents. Many of the more
important and more sweeping orders
of the commission did not involve sin
gle rates. but the giving of joint rates
and the classification of rates.
Two important principles, at least,
were settled nv the commission which
are somewhat ocal and have not been
settled before. One is the principle
that two local rates, though reason
able, may not together constitute a
reasonable rate. The other is that
