Referring to the petition of certain Southern states before the Interstate Commerce Commission ask- | ing for a reduction of freight rates, the Governor said: | “If the Southern states have a Just complaint about freight rates, | the Northern states have a just complaint about the wages and standard of living prevalent in the| South | mationa! survey.
