wAAT OF ROT SPRINGS

A report from Washington states that II. M Gregory. representing Ar kansas shippers and retail merchants, l. there 10 appear before the Inter state Commerce Commission on a proposition 10 revise the Arkansa9 freight rates and place them on 6 mileage basis
 Hot Springs may be represented in that movement and may not
 1t t5 well known to every mor- chant who has investigated that Hot Springs Is paying about &100.000 Q year bonus on excessive freight rates
 The merchants and the shippers arc not paying that sum out of their pockets. The consumers are paying tho price.
 Movement after movement has been inaugurated to get relief for this community against tho excessive rates that have been paid, and no TO- suits have ever been obtained
 Mir Gregory may get further reduc- lions for the shippers generally, in Arlnns1s but unless 0 special show ing Is made in proof that Hot Sprines is paving from 25 per cent upwards more than ought to be paid that evil will not be corrected
 Several times it has been shown to cur merchants and business men that
 
 they arc suffering under an cXtor tionate rate. and that if they would pay sufficient sum of money. they would get relief The money of course would have to be paid for the fight that would have to be made
 When the government assumes the authority for freight rates. as it does through the Interstate Commerce Commission, 1t ought not to reqdra the payment of large sum Of mone to get relief for people who ara sui ferine from excessive rates.
 IL is liloely that Mir Gregory's visit to Washington is in behalf of the ss sppelss of Little Rock. and that it VI al not even seek to bring the spe c,al .relief that Is necessary bciero Hot Sprinss can be pared the excess rates being paid now on freight
 If We could get the Slo0,0eo saw 4ngs on freight rates that the town ts entitled 10 receive. that much money would be saved our people, and that much money would go q hong ways to helping along othar lines In ten years that Sl0o0n amounts to considerable sum-a sum that would build lot of high- ways and make 1 lot of 5Ubstantioi improvements.
