The proponents of the bill have asserted that the measure would give relief to tbo 8tate In the matter of freight rates, but have dealt In vague terms as to how the relief la to be be brought about.

Theee. and ft t hers, who??opposed the Mil are Bn answer to the charge that the opponents of It do not know what they are talking about. Mr. Page makes a vary care fully prepared statement as to present conditions. He holds that North Carolina Is not suf fering from unjust freight rates and gives a map of the states reaching from North Carolina to Mississippi, with rates to the chief points in these several states Tfott wKlcll It can be seen that North Carolina rates are no higher than those of the Btates which have great ports.
