urge you to come to us; let us investigate your
case and see what we can do to relieve you

BY this power IL will be possible

The roofs Of houses will be platforms
upon which small flower beds and
yerdant strawberries could be laid out
as they would be the landing stages
for aeroplanes.
When this progress shall have
been accomplished the physiogIiomy
OF towns will be changed. all terraces
will have become landing stages for
flying automobiles. Avlators will be
able 70 ny from one terrace TO an

These platforms will be terminated
BY large revolving crossways at the

RAILROADS ASK
REPEAL OF Law
Attorneys Before Commission In
Attempt 10 Destroy New Law

Washington, Nov. 29.--In a gen.
eral effort to break down the con-
struction of the long and short haul
in the new railroad law and render
it ineffective, railroad attorneys from
all parts of the United States appear
ed before the interstate commerce
commission yesterday in the hope of
impressing that body with the views
of the carriers affected.
Practically every important pro-
vision in the clause is being ques-
toned by the railroads. Practically
all relief which the interior territory
of the country expected under the
new legislation will be destroyed II
the opinions of the railroads prevail.
Today, however, the shippers had
their inning. The traffic managers
of half dozen commercial organiza-
tions with their attorneys are here to
defend the act and prevent, II posi-.
Bile. any perversion of its meaning
which will lose to them the bneefts
for which the inter-mountain states
struggled so desperately in the las
congress.
Railroads Begin Attack.
Yesterday the attorneys for the
railroads began their attack. The,
first questioned the intent of the new
law as applied to import and expor
traffic. To the surprise of the com
mission. however, they did not agre'
upon the application of the clause 4
this class Of traffic.
Fred H. Wood, general attorne,
for the Frisco, representing the west
ern and southwestern lines. and G.
Patterson. of the southeastern roads
contended that the section proyidin
for the long and short haul did appl
TO the imported and exported freigh
in delivering which there. was u dc
nestle haul.
i Z. c. Lindley, representing tn
Great Northern, Northern Pacific an
Burlington. and Judge billiard, OF tn
Union and Southern Pacific road
speaking for the transcontinen.;
Ines, argued that there was nothin
in the law which prevented the raj
roads TO charge less for shipmer
of imports from New York to Oh
cago, for instance, than for the SAN
goods going over the same lines b.
originating as a domestic shipmei
in New York. b.
The import and export differel
tials now granted by a number
trunk lines from Atlantic ports al
involved in a controserss-brousht b
