The $6500 was advanced to pay for

The man arrested at Red Bluff. Cal

Vlrden, who, drove to the California

are unfair because the . railroads can
haul them for much less than the
present rate and atlll make a hand,
some profit, In addition to the profit
from the refrigerator cars.
The attitude of the railroads Is per
fectly clear; the profit from hauling
perlshsble commodities has been their
most reliable source of revenue, and
aa they see It, It makes no difference
to them whether the grower goes
broke or not somebody will continue
to grow these commodities and the
railroads will continue to get the
revenue from hauling . them. From
the railroad atandpolnt this policy
haa been successful so far, because the
selling price of pears haa been high
enough In recent years to leave the
grower a margin of profit.
