petticoat breeches into vogue. Fig

From the Greek and Roman days

Just why the masculine element

that a deep, soul-rendering prejudice

the Egyptian tied a voluminous ash

The Great Northern, Northern Pacific
and 500 roads have applied to the state
supreme court for leave to cancel the
freight rates on Ignite coal put into
effect by the 1907 Legislature which, if
granted. means a raise in rates and in
the price of coal to the consumer. The
roads refused to put the law into effect,
claiming it unconstitutional because
confiscatory and inadequate to allow
profit on handling the coal business.
The state supreme court held the law
was constitutional and that any way
the burden of proof rested with the rail
roads to show that such rates, all bust
ness in the state considered, meant no
profit. On an appeal to the supreme
court of the United States, the decision
of the state court was sustained.
The roads now claim that they can
prove that acceptance of the schedule
means loss of profit on Ignite business
and contend that the question of profit
from all business in the state cannot be
taken into account. To meet this evil
dence of the roads, Attorney General
Miller has appealed to the state railroad
commission who will use funds allowed
them by the last Legislature to employ
an expert accountant and mi familiar
with the railway methods of computing
profits to work under the commission
and secure evidence and prepare stastis-
tics to disprove tile contention of the
railway companies in the Ignite coal
case. j. A. Little, traffic manager of
