been steadily and surely increasing at

lieve the legislature would be justified
in making a still higher charge for the

Of the demand on behalf Of the automo-
bile owners for a larger expenditure

Preparation Of Classification Held to

Adoption Of Kenyon Bill Giving Au-

Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Jan. 1.-Meager reports
as to the scope of the decision of tho
the matter Of classification No. 81 in
dictate that the contentious Of west
ern shippers. as presented by Clifford
Thorne and the commission, were in
the main agreed to by the deciding
body. If the decision is as sweeping
as indicated it is one of the most i'm
portant ever rendered by the commits
sion at Washington.
The commission decided definitely in
favor of liberal provision for mixtures
in carload lots. This was one of the
matters which caused great amount
of discussion. Under the new CLASH
tication these mixtures were all to be
abolished "A dealer could not have, for
instance, 500 pounds of binding Irvine
sent in carload of harvesters, with
out paying the less than carload rates
on both.
That which appears most important,
however, is the announcement from
the commission that the preparation Of
considerations must be regarded as
public function. This will lead to the
adoption by congress of the Kenyon
bill to give the interstate commerce
commission the authority to make
claSSificationS.
While it has been a difficult matter
for the consuming public either to get
any clear idea OF the case involving
No. 81 or to comprehend how closely
it affects every one, the fact is as ex-
planned by those who have studied the
matter deeply, that the case is one of
the most important ever presented to
