-One thing about an airship line, it
doesn't cost anything for the right-of-way,
and it will be under no obligations to the
State for the right of eminent domain, so
it may discriminate in freight rates all it
has a mind to, and what is the Interstate
Commerce Commission going to do about
it?-Punxy Spirit. Hadn't thought of it
