Whatever demand,; there is for the passage of this bill is based upen this elaim, iterated and reltexated by the author for-the past four years. But will the bill d@ what the author.claims for it?. EMPHATICALLY NO, on the contrary, it will do the very'thing the author is trying to prevent, namely, CREATE INEQUALITY OF RATES, BETWEEN COMMUNITIES, AND GOMPEL THE RAILROADS BY LEGAL ENACTMENT TO.DISCRIMINATE AGAINST HUNDREDS - OF PROSPEROUS "TOWNS LO- CATED UPON THE LONG LINE: The passage of the Cashman bill will WIPE OUT ABSOLUTELY ALL, PRES ENT RATES. REMEMBER—THE CASHMAN BILL DOES NOT NAME RATES. It simply fixes the inflexible distance principle, which means destruction to the y ROAD AND WAREHOUSE Commission and the Railvoad Companies, the right-to equalize rates between competing- communities, whether such competition is ‘within the State or against similar industries located outside of the State. Remember—The RAILROAD AND WAREHOUSE COMMISSION . must, in making a tariff under the Cashman: bill, make a h;ghel rate for eaoh five to ten miles of greater distance.
