The Shippers Side.
Up to the present time Specialize

to have been confined almost entirely
TO those attorneys who seek to rep

known to the commission who is MAX

representative of the shippers is Judge
Samuel II. cowan, of Texas. Judge
Cowan is tho counsel for the Texas
Cattle Growers Association. He has
been called the father OF the rate

as barren OF fruits as Sahara itself. 1t
Is different now.
Judge Cowan has appeared before
the commission many times since the
new law went into effect, each time
representing his old clients. He has
won the decision every time, several
times without having to actually try
the cause. And every time he has seen
the decision OF the commission en-
forced.
There Is no just ground for the COM
plant frequently heard that the rate
law enacted In the summer of 1906
has not benefited. the shipper, SO far
as working reduction OF rates is
concerned. For some months the prac-
teal benefits of the law were nil.
The commission proceeded carefully.
Cases We're being heard. Decisions did
not come In hurry. But the decisions
have been coming pretty thickly OF
late.
Thirty cases affecting Texas rates
have been decided. either after hear
ing or through compromise after COM
plant to the commission had been
made. 1t is believed that in every
case the decision has been in favor of
the shipper.
Railroads need good lawyers these
days.

Democratic caucus, will influence any
votes his way in the fight. l d not
think, from what l can learn, that he
stands much show of getting eithar

trict Republicans would probably. y be :

he would accept denomination, but
they seem to have taken him at his

of the Seventh District Republicans
He was chairman of the district COM

been regarded as about the ablest Re

It is reported that the Republicans
