the idea ID to name the three Demo

warehouse commission. which does not
pass out Of existence officially until
Janury 1, 1914. When the full com.

Of oficial specifications.
Successors are expected to be

Men who are close to Governor
Dunno learned that substantially all
Of the big" state appointments will
be made in q single batch and that
the fnal decision will be made by the
governor next week.
Governor Dunno takes little stock In
the probability that public opinion will
force an extra session Of the general
assembly. Those who talked to him
believe that II will require much more
than q resolution Of the city council
To force him to summon one.
State patronage will be distributed
next week, It 10 known. and there will
be plenty Of sore spots undoubtedly.
The governor feels that he will be no
stronger-probably not nearly 80
strong-with the legislators than
when the initiative and referendum
fight was made last month. There.
fore, It 10 reasoned, there will be no
initiative and referendum victory In
sight; no success In securing advance
pledges for the restoration Of home
rule In the public utilities law because
Of the hostile downstate members, and
no extra session.

The state railroad and warehouse
commission In Q special order estab.
lished freight charge rule in Illinois
which II the first Of it, kind in the
state. under the commissions extend.
cd powers. and probably the first Of it,
kind In any state. The rule provides
that railroads operating between the
same points must charge for through
hauls rate equivalent to that which
the road having the shortest haul. or
line. would charge. In other words. the
freight charge on roads operating be-
tween any two points In the state must
be fixed by the railroads themselves to
concur with the rate fixed by the road
having the shortest haul.
The rule 10 made In accordance with
the long and short haul clause Of the
extended statute. Numerous hearings
have been held on the subject. and
railroads generally. It ID said. have
agreed that the plan 10 % equitable ~
