NO BASIS FOR RATE MAKING.
Believed Arkansas Case Will Furnish Occasion for Court of Last Resort
 Making important Decision.

Little Rock-Because of the letter of Goyernor-eleet Donaghey. showing the hostile attitude Of the incoming state government toward compromise in the rate quest:oG. and because the railroad officials saw that it would be 1 impossible for them to reach an agree ment with the Railroad Commission, on reasonable freight rates, repre- sentatives of the five trunk lines an- nounced at the final and decisive con | ference Wednesday morning that | that will not make effective al pres 1 ent the new freight rates filed by | them with the commission 10 days ago. but that they will revise them further Eto make them agree better with the demands of the commission, and will make them effective on No vember 1.
 That puts an end 10 all hopes of compromise With the statement of the railroads that they will go ahead and make their own rates there is started what Attorney General Kirby said Wednesday night will be one of the greatest legal battles ever fought 1 in the state of Arkansas He said that il would find it's end only in the 1 Supreme Court of the United States; that the next legislature would have to appropriate money for corps of assistant lawyers to defend the rights Of the state and that man would have 10 be found who is not so in- l fatuated with the railroads and other corporations that he is unable to rep resent the people against the rail roads to lead the fight against the five trunk lines.
 MT Kirby said that should the com. mission deem the rates to be too high, the only course open for them is to make different tariff. But that they will never do for. in the first place, they would be setting aside their present rates for which they are fighting, and, in the second place. the railroads could get Out iniunetions re- straining them ad infinitum'
 The Railroad Commission expressed the opinson that this result is a decid- ed victory fer the state. They say that they realize that il means pro- tracted and costly fight in the courts. and feel sure that it. will finally reach the Supreme Court of the United States, but they believe, as does At torney General Kirby. that the ad- 1ustment of the basis for rate making will some day have to be made by the courts. or some tribunal of last resort, and since the preesnt case offers an explanation 1t will be wise to let the matter be so determined
 The railroad men say that they fail to see where there has been any de cisive victory won as yet in the legal rate war that is now begun in this state, but they argee with the com mission that. as the matter stands. it is much better to wait for a final | decision from the federal courts.
