lutely essential to conserve the fruits /
of any line OF effort, and any politi-
cal organization properly consti- /
tuted, always is eager 10 serve pub

business to do So" In this connec-

lature following the gallery in a de- /
mand for a two-cent-a-mile fare on .
systems operating IN that
state. The law subsequently was
declared conhscatory and unconsti-

abuse TO which men in public life
