out means of securing the evidence need ed to successfully combat the showing made by the railroads.
 Another view of it is that whether the state feels it can win or not, 1t should dispose of the litigation now more than three years old, because as long as it stands on the court docket, the effect of 1t will be to hamper and interfere with rate revision and reductions which are sought in other directions.
 The other side of the question Is that these re-classification circulars at least constitute a good club to hold over the railroads when other things are wanted.
 But the fact remains that while there has been a great deal of talk indulged in about excessive freight rates and re- auctions that were going to be made, but have not, circulars Sl6 ct al, propos- ing to give lower rates to local sta tions, are stil on the court docket wait ing to be adjudicated.
 And 1t also looks as if the state were in no particular hurry to proceed with the adiudication.
