We are reliably informed that all the
wheat from the Arkansas valley transfer
red or handled at Kansas City is com
PEELED by a combination between the
railroad company and the two elevators
owned by the railroad officials, to pass
through these elevators, and they exact
one-half cent per bushel more than the
other elevators for the same work. Their
charges are two cents per bushel, and
those of the independent elevators y
cents per bushel. If wheat is consigned
to other than their own elevators, the
railroad charges one-half cent per bushel
for handling the cars. We get this di
rect from the Kansas City board oftrade
Some combination should be made be
tween the shippers over this road, Kan
sas City dealers and board of trade, by
which this onerous tax could be removed
from the trade in grain. This is another
reason for wise legislative action this
winter-Wichita Beacon.
