for all traffic ills for which the Iegisla-
ture has been seeking solution, was
submitted to the joint Legislature
committee last night and was By III re-
jected. 1t fell far short of what the

ger rate law and no compromise on
freight reductions ordered last De-
cember by the state railroad and ware
house commission would be the plan
recommended by 1t to the state Iegfs-

the commission rates on grain, with
no other reduction,
