LOWER COMMODITY RATES.

There Is general rejoicing through
out the land over the decision of the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
the Reno and Spokane rate cases.
Reno and Spokane have already eele-
brated the decision by open air meet
ings and general publications.. The
decision is a great victory for the
people, not only In this state. but in
all the intermountain states as well
as those along the coast. Il does
away with the back haul. and saves
the consumer approximately one
third the cost Of freight.
The custom of the railroads has
been to make the u living
along the lines pay the cost 10 a ter
minal point and back again to their
own station. In the case of Reno
this applied as far as San Francisco
shutting of the jobbers of the Ne
vada city from competition with the
merchants. in the cases before the
commission there were involved the
Southern Pacific. Northern Pacific,
Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe, the
Santa Fe. Prescott and Phoenix rail-
way companies, and the decision af-
feets these and other companies.
Above all things the most signif-
can't is that the victory is one for the
people, and this is in line with cur
rent happenings. The people have
been asserting themselves during the
past few years. and the decision
shows what can be accomplished
when the people take matters into
their W hands. Time a and not so
very long ago. when il seemed mere
waste of time to demand recognition
from the railroads or any other
monopoly. But the times have
changed and the public is having its
inning and getting a run for its
money. The public has become busy
in the demand for it's rights. and the
public servants in the higher walks
of life are hearkening to the demand.
The railroads for years have set up
arguments and have been attempting
to befuddle common sense with legal
bubbles and red tape. Now, then,
the decision of the Interstate Com
merce Commission means that the
people and not the railroads will
regulate commerce. and incidentally.

The Commission says that the
long and short haul of the Interstate

ambition been realized? How closely
has he come to this goal? Some men
measure their success IN life with

You will all agree with me that
