into the bark for storage. 1t is pre-

In deciding the present case the COM
mission IL undoubtedly in a tight FIX. II
Is evident that an important degree Of
public sentiment has grown up In favor
OF relief to the railroads. SO that II the
commission does not see Its way clear to
allow higher rates Immediately II will
probably be blamed on entirely unjust
grounds. On the other hand. II the
railroads are granted what they ask fjr
there Ia bound to be a howl OF execration
raised against the step by the radicals
OF the La Toilette type. II IL worth while
to note here that since the creation Of
the commission In 1887 there has never
been a breath OF suspicion against It's
integrity. The railroad men know that
the commission offers the only practical
means OF dealing with railroad questions
Whatever way the present case is de-
cided the commission needs the real sup
port Of the public and the railroad men
alike.
