RATE VICTORY
Continued from page 1.

advanced rates would have been
$7,6O4,247.
The increased revenue the roads
were counting on from grain and grain
products, live stock, packing house
products and fresh meat and broom
corn aggregate $5,971, $50.
All the increases on the commodi-
ties having been denied, the railroads
will receive only an increased revenue
of 81 ,632, 1897 from hay and straw, coal,
fruit and vegetables, rice and import
rates.
So that, while increased rates are
granted on five items and refused on
only four, the four upon which in
creases are refused are the vital, big
revenue items.
The preponderance is in favor Of the
permanently confirmed increases. The
order is effective not later than Sept.
30, 1915.
Increased rates on packing house
products and fresh meat generally are
justified if they do not exceed 10 to
90 cents per 100 pounds on packing
house products between Missouri, Ne
braska and Iowa packing points; and
on fresh meat so long as the rates do
not exceed from u to % cents be-
tween the same points: St. Joseph,
Mo-, and Kansas City, Kan; South
Omaha and Kansas City, Mo-, Sioux
City and South Omaha and Sioux City
and Kansas City.
The commission rescinds its former
order and permits the roads to in
crease the carload minimum on grain
products from 10000 to 10000 pounds.
The order also permits the increase of
minimum carload from 10000 to 40
600 pounds on fertilizer materials.
The increases are granted on hay
and straw except where the increases
exceed the class c rating; and in
creases above the class c rating are
forbidden.
Increases are permitted on fruits,
vegetables, brewers rice, domestic rice
less than carloads; and on coke and
bituminous coal except shipments of
coke and bituminouS coal to points in
South Dakota, which increases are
prohibitive.
The commissions summary of find
ings. based on the showing of operat-
ing results and financial conditions of
respondents and upon the whole rec
ord, is:
Increased carload rates on grain
and grain products as one commodity
not justified.
Increased carload rates on livestock
not justified.
Increased import rates and proposed
increases in carload minimum from
gulf ports justified.
Increased carload rates on fruits
and vegetables justified.
Increased any-quantity rates on cot
ton piece goods and increased carload
rates from points in Texas not Justl-
fled.
In 1910 and 1914 the railroad in Of

Still the mind of Milt McBriar, the

even now it could not follow a direct

accomplished by a shrewder method,
and one not directly traceable to so

CHAPTER XVIII.

When winter has come and settled
down for it's long siege in the Cumber'
lands human life shrinks and shrivels
into a shivering Indebtedness. and 4
spirit of dreariness steals into the hui
man heart.
The house of old Milt McBriar was
not so dark and cherries a hovel as
the houses of his lesser neighbors, but
as that winter closed in his heart was
bitter and his thoughts were black.
In a roundabout way he had learned OF
Young Mills visit to the McNash cab
in. His son was the apple of his eye.
and now he was seeing him form EN-
bryonic affiliations with the people of
his enemy.
Young NIilt had visited Dawn; he
had watched with Anse Havey. The
father had always taken natural
pride in the honesty that cleaned
from his sons alert eyes. and the one
person from whom he had concealed
his own ways of guile and deceit most
studiously was the lad who would
some day be leader in his stead. There
were few things that this old intriguer
feared. but one there was, and now II
was tracing lines of care and anxiety
III the visage that had always been so
masklike and imperturbable. IL his
son should ever look past his outward
self and catch a glimpse Of the inner
man, the father knew that he would
not be able to sustain the scorn OF
those younger eyes. So, while the
lad, who had gone back to college in
Lexington, conned his books, his faith
err sat before the blaze of his hearth.
his pipe tight clamped between his
teeth, his heart fostering in his breast,
and his mind dangerously active.
The beginnings OF all the things
which he deplored, and meant to pun
lsh, went back to the establishment Of

Had Dawn McNash not come there,

slimness OF her body, the lure OF her

her dark hair had led his own son to

had hired.
But most OF all. Anse Havey was re-

suaded his son to make common cause

Aside from the unconstItutionality
