A H0pEFnI SIGN

There is one hopeful sign for an
Improvement in business aud that is
the probability that the Interstate
Commerce Commission will soon
grant, the railroads the So Increase
in freight rates for which they ask.
Louis D. Brandeis, the principal OPP
pontnt of the railroads and attorney
for the Commission. has admitted
that the revenue of the railroads Is
not sufficient to make the business
profitable and to make possible nee
cssary improvements.
The small Increase will not be felt
by the small shipper and one of the
hest evidences OF the business Of tile
claims Of the roads is the fact that the
large shippers are not opposing, but
are favoring, the increase.
Tie railroads are in peculiar po-
sition. They invest their capital in
their lines and manage their own
business, but arenot permitted to say
what they will charge for their SER
vice. An individual would not like
to conduct his business along these
lines. a merchant would not think
very well Of a plan that would fix
the prices on his goods, but the rail-
roads have made this regulation nee
essary by the abuse Of the privileges
they have enjoyed. They have by a
system Of unjust rebates to large and
favored shippers helped to. crush out
the small competitor OF the large
shipper. and thereby encouraged mo-
