THE ILLINOIS RAILROAD LAW.

4 gontlemnn wrote to The Tribune, \ fow
days ago, that, since July laat thoro haB been n
falling.or in Chicago trado to tho moro distant
western nnd southern eounties Of this State to
the amount OF 25 por cont, and very naturally
attributes 1t to tho restrictions Of tho nail-
road Inv passed laat wiutor, This effect Of tho
law, 60 far Us Chicago ia concerned, WAS fore
scon. and aB It did not dotor the Legislature
from adopting the pro rata policy, it Is not likoy
that 1t will. standing alone, induce tho Legisla-
turo to abandon 1t. But Is 1t is now pretty owl
dent that the trade thus diyortol from Chicago
has gone to citics outside the State whore the
law ia not operative, it is proper to inquire
whether soma change may not bo mado in tic
law without doing moro hnrm than good. In
faot, tho pro rata provisions Of our present
Railroad law arc likely to como before tho nd
journod session Of the Legislature on tho Issue
whether the bono6ts Of tho systom outweigh the
damagcs or not. as railroad legislation is still
experimental, it is certainly tho duty Of tho Log
islaturo to collect aa complete evidence as poBsi-
bio Of the potual workings Of tho present law
for tho purpose Of ascortaining, After trial, tho
defcota and their Influences. 1t ia by no means
certain that the groatest opposition to tho pro
rata feature will not como from the ahippern and
farmers instead Of the railroads.
We pointed out prior to the passage OF tho
law that its pro rata provisions we're calculated
to destroy competition. Take for instance. the
Chicago l. Alton and tho Illinois Central Nail-
ronds, both Of. whicl, run from Chicago to st..
If tho Chicago l. Alton 10 forced down 10 its
minimum tariff, that IN, tho lowest rato ut
which 1t can cnrry frcight at proht,-tho 1lli-
| noia Central must give up It's through buainess
thus shutting out from the benefits OF competi-
ton such cities or districts as would otherwise
be possessed Of them, either by roaaon OF
NATURAL location or Otherwise. It soems to
be q fair question, therefore, whether 1t
is right to interpoBe statute to deprive certain
localities Of the advantages thoy havo by virtue
Of their location, or communities which have OK
pended largo suma Of money to secure competi-
ton. This ir tho question that must bo exam
ned by tho Legislature moro fully In the light Of
the experience furnished by tho working Of the
| law up to this time, 1t may DO said that tho Law
has not had fair trial, that tho railroads hare
worked together to mako 1t odious. This may
| be truo, aud, If true, somo change should be
uaado to render 1t cortan that 1t will hayo faire1
trial hereafter.
