They
would
tie
themselves
up
,
too
.
Hauling
at
low
rates
is
better
than
no
hauling
at
all
.
The
wheat
has
got
to
be
moved

”
“
Oh
,
rot
!
”
cried
Annixter
.
“
Aren
’
t
you
ever
going
to
learn
any
sense
?
Don
’
t
you
know
that
cheap
transportation
would
benefit
the
Liverpool
buyers
and
not
us
?
Can
’
t
it
be
FED
into
you
that
you
can
’
t
buck
against
the
railroad
?
When
you
try
to
buy
a
Board
of
Commissioners
don
’
t
you
see
that
you
’
ll
have
to
bid
against
the
railroad
,
bid
against
a
corporation
that
can
chuck
out
millions
to
our
thousands
?
Do
you
think
you
can
bid
against
the
P
.
and
S
.
W
.
?
”
“
The
railroad
don
’
t
need
to
know
we
are
in
the
game
against
them
till
we
’
ve
got
our
men
seated
.
”
“
And
when
you
’
ve
got
them
seated
,
what
’
s
to
prevent
the
corporation
buying
them
right
over
your
head
?
”
“
If
we
’
ve
got
the
right
kind
of
men
in
they
could
not
be
bought
that
way
,
”
interposed
Harran
.
“
I
don
’
t
know
but
what
there
’
s
something
in
what
Osterman
says
.
We
’
d
have
the
naming
of
the
Commission
and
we
’
d
name
honest
men
.
”
Annixter
struck
the
table
with
his
fist
in
exasperation
.
“
Honest
men
!
”
he
shouted
;
“
the
kind
of
men
you
could
get
to
go
into
such
a
scheme
would
have
to
be
DIS
-
honest
to
begin
with

Broderson
,
shifting
uneasily
in
his
place
,
fingering
his
beard
with
a
vague
,
uncertain
gesture
,
spoke
again
:
“
It
would
be
the
CHANCE
of
them
—
our
Commissioners
—
selling
out
against
the
certainty
of
Shelgrim
doing
us
up
.
That
is
,
”
he
hastened
to
add
,
“
ALMOST
a
certainty
;
pretty
near
a
certainty
.
”
“
Of
course
,
it
would
be
a
chance
,
”
exclaimed
Osterman
.
“
But
it
’
s
come
to
the
point
where
we
’
ve
got
to
take
chances
,
risk
a
big
stake
to
make
a
big
strike
,
and
risk
is
better
than
sure
failure
.
