The
main
problem
has
not
yet
been
completely
solved
;
that
is
for
later
,
when
we
shall
have
gathered
sufficient
strength
to
attack
the
enemy
in
his
very
stronghold
;
BUT
AN
AVERAGE
TEN
PER
CENT
.
CUT
HAS
BEEN
MADE
ALL
OVER
THE
STATE
.
We
have
made
a
great
advance
,
have
taken
a
great
step
forward
,
and
if
the
work
is
carried
ahead
,
upon
the
lines
laid
down
by
the
present
commissioners
and
their
constituents
,
there
is
every
reason
to
believe
that
within
a
very
few
years
equitable
and
stable
rates
for
the
shipment
of
grain
from
the
San
Joaquin
Valley
to
Stockton
,
Port
Costa
,
and
tidewater
will
be
permanently
imposed
.
”
“
Well
,
hold
on
,
”
exclaimed
Annixter
,
out
of
order
and
ignoring
the
Governor
’
s
reproof
,
“
hasn
’
t
your
commission
reduced
grain
rates
in
the
San
Joaquin
?
”
“
We
have
reduced
grain
rates
by
ten
per
cent
.
all
over
the
State
,
”
rejoined
Lyman
.
“
Here
are
copies
of
the
new
schedule
.
”
He
drew
them
from
his
valise
and
passed
them
around
the
table
.
“
You
see
,
”
he
observed
,
“
the
rate
between
Mayfield
and
Oakland
,
for
instance
,
has
been
reduced
by
twenty
-
five
cents
a
ton
.
”
“
Yes
—
but
—
but
—
”
said
old
Broderson
,
“
it
is
rather
unusual
,
isn
’
t
it
,
for
wheat
in
that
district
to
be
sent
to
Oakland
?
”
“
Why
,
look
here
,
”
exclaimed
Annixter
,
looking
up
from
the
schedule
,
“
where
is
there
any
reduction
in
rates
in
the
San
Joaquin
—
from
Bonneville
and
Guadalajara
,
for
instance
?
I
don
’
t
see
as
you
’
ve
made
any
reduction
at
all
.
Is
this
right
?
Did
you
give
me
the
right
schedule
?
”
“
Of
course
,
ALL
the
points
in
the
State
could
not
be
covered
at
once
,
”
returned
Lyman
.
“
We
never
expected
,
you
know
,
that
we
could
cut
rates
in
the
San
Joaquin
the
very
first
move
;
that
is
for
later
.
But
you
will
see
we
made
very
material
reductions
on
shipments
from
the
upper
Sacramento
Valley
;
also
the
rate
from
Ione
to
Marysville
has
been
reduced
eighty
cents
a
ton
.
”
“
Why
,
rot
,
”
cried
Annixter
,
“
no
one
ever
ships
wheat
that
way
.
”
“
The
Salinas
rate
,
”
continued
Lyman
,
“
has
been
lowered
seventy
-
five
cents
;
the
St
.
Helena
rate
fifty
cents
,
and
please
notice
the
very
drastic
cut
from
Red
Bluff
,
north
,
along
the
Oregon
route
,
to
the
Oregon
State
Line
.
