freight rates to accomplish net re
sults such as aie suggested by the
law, they fail to measure in a proper
way, the ability cf traffic to bear the

as to whether the public can afford

roads need trained men more than
any other thing, and with the edu

cannot graduate enough to ' do the
business scientifically and satisfac

us from the blunders we are making
