'sAnotber reason why the Iuter-Is-

is in the air. If | recollect
there are twentv-eight States
which have, in addition, to national
regulation, created local regulation
The national commission
is composed of experts. The national
regulations are enforced in broad
minded manner. The local commissions
are generalv not experts and are sub
iect to local influences. and have acted
50 harshly that in three States railroad |
building is practically suspended by
reason Of the harassing rules of the
local regulations.
