IF the eastman bill is signed BY

General Smith when asked for his
opinion on the effect of the distance

Mr.. Smith said he did not think the
passage Of the bill would affect the
decision in the 2-cent fare and COM
modify rate cases, as they have been
submitted to the court, while the
eastman bill does not go into effect
until Jan. 1, 1914.
"But If the state wins in those cases
and the schedule of rates in litigation
is sustained" said Mr.. Smith, '.the
eastman bill will compel the railroad
and warehouse commission to make a
new schedule of rates and we will
have to try the rate cases all over
again."
