An Important Case

The fact that the railroads have
prepared such exhaustive reports and
taken several days to present their
side of the hearing indicates that
they regard the decision as important.
1t is also an admission that the Keo-
kuk people have put up a strong ar
gument in favor of an equalized rate
and it is also recognized that with
this equality Keolluk will be in a
strong position to attract industries
at least it will not be handicapped by
a freight rate that presents an OBJ
stacle that IS serious. Mr.. Joy had
hoped for an early decision in the
case but he believes that the delay
indicates that the case is Of great
Importance and is to receive serious
consideration. The railroads have all
along contended that to change the
Keokuk rate would call for rear
rangement in all Iowa rates. The
