But the I. C.' C.s decision applies to Interstate traffic, while that of the local board applies only to trafflo within the boundaries of the state. A pretty legal point. Involving a possible conflict of authority between the federal and slate boards, is thus raised. This should be disposed of In an amicable spirit as soon as possible. In the meantime, there la no reason to apprehend a further advance In the already high price of coal; and the consuming public, with the winter season approaching, baa therefore cause to be duly grateful. v , An estimate recently made by a Journal devoted to the coal industry represented that the average increase in freight rates on commercial bituminous coal throughout the country, under the naw freight rales which ara to go into effect tomorrow by permission of the Interstate Commerce Commission, would be about 57 cents per ton for all such ooal hauled. The estimate further represented that the total additional cost to coal consumer brought about by the Increase in rates would That be approximately $200,000,000 per year. Utah, under the decision of its public utilities commission, is enabled to escape any share of this new burden, la a matter for local congratulation, in which there can be no charge of selfishness, Inasmuch as consumers are paying already a price for coal which they are not without reason in considering absolutely as high as the most elastio kind of a conscience can justify. ,;n selection of pacific naval natural that the' various sections of b I " t t -- - and-faciliti- i i ! i ! land-lock- ed for the Jnvestmenl in the opinion of i.jj.Qt jet.rip i The lime much money abroad, H.
