Judge James Keith, president of the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, threw wide open the old ratl road tariff question, and should the higher tribunal decide fof the plain tiff in this suit, every road In the State, it Is confidently expected, will immediately Institute action to recov er their old 2 cent rate. When the commission promulgated its rulelti. 1907, declaring that the roads should not charge more than 2 cents per mile for intrastate business, this rats being subsequently increased to 2 1-2 cents a mile, the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac road re fused to accept the decision of tne rale fixing power, and Immediately began preparations foi* coolest.

Two principal reasons are given as to why She appeal should be granted, and now that the appeal has ueen granted, these may be considered as the basis of the Judge's action.
