ton three miles for the value OF q 2-cent
postage stamp; that they carry one ton
OF dead freight four miles for 1 cent.
Not all OF them are making money at
these rates Some OF them ara getting
thin and emaciatsd.
The efficiency and integrity OF these
railroads must be judged by facts pail
pabie to all-their strength in appur-
tensnces that constitute a safe transpor-
tation machine whose efficiency Is proven
by paying the highest wages for services
rendered by It's employees and furnishing
transportation at the lowest cost. ,,.'
This 10 simple problem. Those who
confuse Il and oomplicate II serve only
to hide the truth. In establishing the
commissions the people have provided a
means OF searching out the facts OF
the matter In order that they, the peo-
pie may do justice. The railroads have
confidence in these bodies In this work
