cldes Against five Per

Each Year From NlnoD'j
REVENGE

t. Washington, Feb. 8.--The inter
state commerce commission made Al
important announcement today In Re
gard to the. advance freight ratt
case.
The commission made 1t clear that
it will not grant the 5 per: cent In
crease asked by the railroads until
1t has conducted an inquiry into the
practice of the carriers granting, al
l0wances and free services to certain
classes of shippers. The commission
is determined to have the railroads
stop all unnecessary leaks before II
will impose the burden OF a general
increase on all shippers.
Commissioner Harlan, who made
the announcement, said:
mo well informed person, however.
can doubt that the disc0ntinuance Of
these free services would save the
carriers millions of dollars Of ex-
pense annually, nor can any we'll In
formed person doubt that IL such ser
vice should be measured in relation
to it's cost and its value and the gen.
eral conditions surrounding 1t, and
should then be made to contribute on
q reasonable basis to the revenues of
the carriers performing it the income
of the carriers would be increased by
many million dollars a year.
Free Service Burden on, Public. @'
TO the extern therefore that these
free services may justly .;be said to.
account for or contribute. to any in.
adequacy in the revenues Of the car
riers, It would seem to follow that the
proposed increase In rates means that
the general shipping public must ac.
cept increased rate burdens in order
that the carriers may continue with
out charge to render these valuable
and costly services to a relatively
small number Of shippers. J.,
"The propriety. therefore, under ex-
listing circumstances Of disseminating
the performance of these special SER;
vices without charge is manifestly a
matter that should receive immediate.

laws last night refused to report the
bill known as the pollution bill, intro
duced in the house OF delegates by
Hugh A. White. of Rock bridge, after
a lengthy hearing lasting several days
The argument last night was principal
ly against the measure.
After hearing both sides Of the mat
ter, the committee refused to YnaNs
any report on the bill and it died in

stopping OF the pollution OF the rivers
and streams of the State by manu-
featuring concerns situated along the
river banks The pulp mills at Cow
ington and other points along the
river. the tanneries and other inter-
es.s have made this a practice for
many years, and desperate efforts have
been made to have this abolished.
An assistant United States commits
sioner of fisheries appeared before the
committee and told OF the tremendous
damage done to the fish Of the State.

called for one the floor OF the house.

merce met last night in the auditorium

posed tax commission
A. NJ. Cannon. chairman of the
legislative committee of the chamber
Of commerce, who presided, spoke
against the appointment of twenty per-
sons TO act as the tax commission of
Virginia and favored the Walker bill
which provides that the governor shall
appoint a committee of five men to
serve.
Delegate Gordon, the next speake~.
said that he did not approve of r
commission that consisted of twenty
men: that such a commission would
be too bulky. and that there could
not help but be friction, as each
member would have the people of
his particular section or district IN
mind at all times, and that this would
reduce the efficiency of the commits
sion.
Mr. Gordon said further that he
thought that politics should be kept
out Of the matter. If possible, and
that Governor Stuart should take adj
vantage of the opportunity to solve
this problem by appointing f1ve COM
petent men to serve on the commits
sion.
c. V. Meredith, the next speaker.
said he thought 1t unwise to make a
committee of twenty men. and that he
thought the governor should make
the body non-political. He also said
that the governor ought to be able
to secure a competent body of men as.
to choose from.
suggested that committee appear be-
forth the reasons why they are OPP
posed to the plan of having twenty
men serve on the commission. He said
that he believed that special session
without proper instruction would not
bear fruit.
Letters endorsing the opposition OF
the Richmond business men were read
from the Roanoke chamber OF COM

citation of that city. A telegram from
the Norfolk chamber of commerce and
