Editorial Comment
The Rate Cut Hearing
(Minneapolis Tribunc)

There are things that everybody interested should
keep straight in his mind in connection with the
hearing now being conducted in Minneapolis under
the auspices Of the interstate Commerce Commission.
One Of these things is that the 6-cent grain and
flour rate reduction under consideration lis purely
question of economic justice. Another is that the
economic effect Of the reduced rate appertains not
to grain and milling interests of Minneapolis aone
but to- expansive agricultural interest in Mime
sofa, the Dakotas and Montana.
This is net case in police couHt, but question
before deliberative body Involving material equi
ties. The commission. take it. is not at all in
terested in charges cnanatns from the head Of the
lakes that this rate cut announced at the behest
Of Minneapolis shippers using budgeon Of threats,
nor h the surring statement that the cut was made
originally by railread management operating a
broken-down property in receivership. or words Of

laughed softly.
The mans arms went out, were
about to grasp her, but Cherry

start the car with expert ease.
When he was safely away, Faith
