Of course, all this increase in railroad rates has been loaded on the high cost of living. It is part of the endless chain of Aice hoisting By the present administration. And yet we. are now told that one way to correct the high cost of living is to boost these rates still higher" Representative Carl w. Riddick, of Montana.
