The Insurgents are said to be in a
rather awkward position about Mr..
Knapp. He is generally believed TO be
friendly TO reasonable increases OF
freight rates to the railroads. If he
remains upon the Interstate Commerce
Commission his vote WILL they think
go that way. If he is nominated as
Judge of the Court OF Commerce hs
would presumably, feel the same way
as to rates when an appeal goes be-
fore that court. SO the Insurgents
would like TO bottle Mr.. Knapp--keep

by an engineer whose only instrument
was a plumb.bob. but that was long

never dreamed OF the extent TO which
irrigation would be carried. though
even IN those days the value OF water
