Then the logical pro cedure will be to go before the court of commerce for an injunction against the rate ordered by the commission ta king effect October 15. In the event that this is denied, and the court of commerce refuses to extend relief to the railways, the next step is proble matical, but is generally apprehended to be a horizontal increase in both terminal and Interior rates on the transcontinental lineB. Many facts point to a determined railway opposition to the commission's intermountain decisions.. The July statements by the Northern Pacific show loss of $1,000,000 in revenua for a similar period last year. President Howard Elliott emphasized while here recently that th Northern Pacific for the present fiscal year is 9 or 10 per cent behind in its general Income. Other roads of the west complain of losses equally great, or nearly so. Where such losses are being sustain ed under present revenues, the rail way people ask how they can be ex pected to accept a reduction in charges which will aggregate 10 to 40 per cent tm kttrlm trffl Another loss being suffered by the' railways is more significant than that In gross earnings. There is an alarm ing increase for the fiscal year ending June 30 in. Panama Isthmus tonnage. On the Panama railroad the east bound tonnage for the fiscal year increased 110 per cent and west bound tonnage more than 100 .per cent. : With the big lines losing revenue and tonnage this year and their ter minal business all threatened with ab solute destruction when the canal Is 01ned unless they can cut rates fur ther, the railways are on the horns of a dilemma. If they cut at tha termi nals to meet the boats, the commission will demand a proportionate cut on interior business, and with the loss of much terminal business as Is Inevit able from Independent steamship com petition, the railway. men declare they cannot cut on anything. . ' ' This, situation seems to bring the transcontinental lines to the condi tions, which were teared after the canal opened. . Far sighted traffic men insist that the canal will force the railways out of the terminal haul, so long as the Spokane ."decisions jjtands, and this will .nvean that they must raise rates for Interior shipments. To raise for .the interior, they must, raise at the I terminal also. To increase at the ter minal means turning the whole busi ness there over to the boats, making interior traffic bear the whole burden of the railway systems of tlje west. '. Fnr five weeks the traffio men of the railways have been working on the problem at Chicago. They must act before October 15. As that time ap proaches, the attitude of the railways becomes the all-absorbing topic of the went, for something revolutionary is expected. An article that has real merit should In time become popular. That such Is the case with Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been attested by many dealer. , Here- ia one of them. H.
