is that OF inadequate transportation IA

It would be cheaper. and river navigs-

said that the called reformers and

staenation now prevailed.
THE recent decision OF ihe supreme
court OF the United States that tho
Sherman antitrust law must be con-
strued In the light OF reason he said
is reflection on that law. The trou-
BILE with the lawmakers IS that they lack
information about business affairs TIE
