example of successful regulation of
express rates is likely to make trou-
BILE for the express companies in other
states and in the nation at large. Elk
press rates everywhere are under sus-
picion. The public is interested more
particularly in interstate rates and is
likely to look sympathetically upon
an effort to put them under as close
scrutiny as that TO which ordinary
freight rates are now subject
ed. The express company is
a common carrier, and its
obligation to give reasonable service
is identical with that of the railway.
