ing a hearing on this rate question.
THE case is one of the most i'm
portant the stockmen Of the middle
west have ever had before the inter-

millions of dollars on the stock rails

err and feeder rates we're adopted vol
unfairly by the railroads some thirty
years ago and have never been
changed. Now they propose at one
jump to add 33 per cent to the rates.
We can't stand the pressure. The
cost OF corn and hay makes the pro-
