RELIEF NOW IS IN SIGHT

sion has sent out . statement
relative to relief for this state
from excessive transcontinental
freight rates. A portion of the
statement follows:
Relief for Nevada shippers in
the matter of trans-continental
commodity freight rates is now in
sight, and there is little doubt but
what the rates on all commodities
shipped from eastern defined terri
tory to Reno, and other Nevada
points, will be in effect within the
course of three mouths from this
time.
The above conclusion has been
reached by the members IF the
Nevada State Railroad commission.
and is based upon the fact that
that an order has just been re-
ceieed from the Interstate com-
merce commission fixing May 8,
1912. az the date for all parties
to the case commonly known as the
Reno Terminal case to appear in
W ashinKton, D. c., anil show cause
why commodity rates should not
be forthwith put :nto effect be-
tween eastern defined territory,
and Reno, Nevada.
=
Immediately upon hearing that
the commerce court had issued an
injunction against the fourth see
ton order of the interstate COM
merce commission, the Nevada
State Railroad commission sent an
urgent petition to the interstate
commerce commission asking for a
specific order in the Reno Terminal
case, and the order just received
by the state commission signifies
thaC the federal commission is now
prepared to enter specific order
in the Reno case, soon after the
hearing set for May 8, 1912, and
which will undoubtedly be upheld
by the commerce court in line with
its action on the order in the Salt
Lake rate case. II the commerce
court should hold the order of the
federal commission as void it
would be reversing It's decision in
the above named case.
The people Of Nevada can there
fore, feel reasonably sure that
relief will be obtained within a
very short time, and while a full
termi nal rate from all eastern ter
ritory may not be granted the
measure of relief will be 30 great
as to give Nevada control of her
0Wn markets and effect a saving of
at least 81 100000 per year to her
people, considering both class and
commodity rate adjustment
At the hearing to take place on
May 8, 1912, it is absolutely nsc-
essary that the Nevada people
should be represented az the rail-
reads may introduce new evidence
in the case, and will at least make
strong arguments against any relief
to intermountain territory. There
fore, the m embers of the Nevada
commission together with At
torney General Baker, will he
present at the hearing to look
after the interests Of Nevada ship
pers fully.
