Railroads were ordered TODAY by the

ger rates.

of small railroads We're excluded
from the requirements of the order
because of their financial inability to
meet the reduction. Practically all
of the class 1 roads, however, must
establish the reductions.
Re-establishment of the mileage
book system. which was abandoned
during the war, resulted from pas
sage of a bill, introduced by Senator
Watson. republican, Indiana, which
directed railroads to again issue IN
Interchangeable books, subject TO de-
termination by the Interstate Com

there should be reductions in rates.

! Commercial travellers and business
organizations were especially active
in urging that the mileage book
privilege be restored TO persons re-
quired to travel extensively i'll the

sion noted that the general business
opinion was that the reduction would
result in a greater number of sales
men going out on the road and an
increase in the amount of travel by
those now engaged as statesmen.
The sale of the books Will be open
to all desiring them.

RICHMOND, Va, January 31.-Op
ponents of the road bond issue bill are
massing their forces in dead earnest
against the plans of the bond people.
and there will be an attack from an
other angle that means adding to the
bitterness of the approaching session
Of the legislature. The bill to redis-
trict the state for members of the
legislature must be enacted or cor
rected, and as the cities are to be the
large gamers at the expense of the
rural districts in the realignment of
representation. the delegates and
senatorse from the rural sections are
TO fight the redistricting bill.
Cities Favor Bonding Bill.
The cities are believed largely in
favor of the bond bill, and if the re
districting bill is passed. as it has
been agreed. it means a great addi-
ton to the strength OF the cities in
Legislation. This might make it pos
sible, in the event of failure of the
bond bill at this session. for the cities
TO put the project across next winter.
when all the members Of both
branches are to be chosen. For this
reason the country people are plan
ming, according to report to defeat
the redistricting bill and to make it
impossible to enact any such bill.
THE city people largely are for the
bond issue, but the country people are
100 per cent against it," said one Of
the best known men of southwest Vir-
ginia, here yesterday on private busi-
ness. He said that the meeting in
Roanoke was a very enthusiastic road
meeting. and that the delegates We're

The republicans are understood to
