explains that "the statement that the
defendants system earnings for the
year ending June 80, 1914, averaged
5.42 mills per ton-mile should be per

stated to apply only on live stock for

= The commissioner acknowledged
other errors which he admits are
annoying" and says 81 pass over
your criticism of the policy of the
Interstate Commerce commission by
simply saying that the members OF
your commission are in error in as
suming or thinking that this commits
sion has any disposition to be arbi-
trary in the performance of its duty
in these unpleasant classes of cases
which involve unjust discrimination

We have ad uty to perform and would
be unworthy of the positions which
we occupy if we hesitated from per-
forming that duty according to the
law and our honest convictions.

of the inadvertant errors relative to
