tors anticipate that the decision of the
railroad commission TO reduce Iowa
freight rates on live stock to within
per cent. of the Illinois rate. or a re-
fluciion of l6 or IL cents OH an average,
will materially affect some of the pro-
posed legislation In fact, they recog
nize that the railroad commission got
ahead of them, and that no Legislation
looking tn am enforced reduction
would NOM be appropriate II is prob
able. however. that the legislature Will
appropriate the $4,000 for the railroad
commission In making q thorough in
ves,igation of freight rates with a view
to reduction in other lines. rhe decis-
ion of the commission Immediately on
conclusion of the arguments of attor-
neyS came us :. surprise. and the at
torneyS for the railroads showed plain
~ their chagrili. NO estimate Is pos
sihle as yet of the value of this reduc-
ton to the shipping interests of the
state but The railroad representatives
fought he case as though III meant Il
great deal To The railroads.
