ern of Alabama, after the papers mad
been filed. 1.-THE effect of the laws would
be to take away our property and to force
us to do business at far less than reason
able returns upon our outlay. 1t Is dis
tasteful to us and we would very much
have preferred to avoid 1t. However.
there is no other way that we can see to
get at the situation, so we have gone
into the courts for what seems to us our
rights. the rights OF all good citizens of
the state. to earn reasonable returns for
money and energy expended

the rendering OF service that was not in
any sense paid for. 1t was also said
that conditions about a rate might change
