RATE MEETING WASN'T
BARREN OF RESULTS

Lakeland Telegram: We don't un-
derstand the intricate question of
freight rates, but the interior cities
of Florida have very real griev-
ance in the matter of discrimina tion
against them in such rates and the
legislature enacted the long and short
haul law to remove that grievance.
1t is now matter of enforcing that
law, with the commission to take the
initiative, but that would mean a
fight of years through all the courts
with no certainty of victory in the
end. The attitude of the roads is
that of old Boss Tweed when he had
a lead pipe cinch" on the taxpayers
of New York-'-What are you going
to do about it," But the old Boss
got his in the end and maybe the
roads will, too.
At any rate, a very desirable pub
licity has been achieved by the
meetings at Ocala and kissimmee
and turning on the light frequently
finds remedy.
