EXPECT CHANGE IN RATES.

The interstate commerce commission
has ordered the railroads of Illinois, on
or before January 10, 1921, to increase
interstate rates to the level of inter
state rates. This means that passenger
fares throughout Illinois will be rails
ed from 8 to 3.6 cents per mile, an
increase of 20 per cent. The decision
is regarded with interest in Wisconsin
because railroad attorneys believe the
Illinois case is the precedent for SINH
lar action in this state. Wisconsin
officials will resist such an order in
the courts.
