Higher freight rates are likely to be
liked in the future, the New York
Journal of Commerce tells us. The
proposed raisin G Of railroad rates on
July l, has perhaps, therefore been
postponed until aafter election to help
out the republican party. When the
Railroad rate bill was passed the Re-
publicans took all the glory that was
possible for that achievement. Presi.
dent Roosevelt in fact compromised
with those United States Senators
controlled by the railroads on the
most vital clause Of the bill, rather
than the bill should be passed by DEM
/ ocratic aid. That bill was supposed
10y the confiding public TO bring about
reduced railroad rates. Now, we hear
nothing Of rate reduction, but GER
tainty in the near future of an increase.
Such is Republican reform
