Action of the Commissioners.
The following correspondence between
the Railroad Commissioners and the Athison,
Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad explains itself:
OFFICE OF THE BOARD OF RAILROAD COMNIs-
sIONERs, TOPEKA. KAS.. Feb. -, 1884.
To A. E. TouZalin, Esq, Vice President of the
Atchison, Topeka Is Santa Fe Railroad
Company:
DEAR SIR-We have been informed that
you adopted freight taIiff which you
designate Interstate Tariff" the rates
prescribed in which are put in force over
your road, it appears that this tariff raises
the rates in a number of instances and at
different points to terminal stations over the
rates heretofore prevailing. We would call
your attention to section sixteen of the
Commissioner law, being an act concerning
railroads and other common carriers, which
reads as follows: ''Section 16. Neither
said Board of Railway Commissioners nor
any railroad company shall raise the charge
for transportation of freight on any rail-
road without first giving sixty days public
notice of such change in such manner as
the Commissioners may determine. BY
order of the Board.

Co, OFFICE OF TRAFFIC MANAGER,
TOPEKA. KAS., Feb. %, 1881. J
On the evening of the 2"d day of Febru
airy the honorable Board of Railroad Com
nl;SSiOners issued an order to this company
suspending the rules which they ordered
into effect upon the morning of the 10Th OF
February. The honorable Board of Railway
Commissioners has also advised us that on
the 9Th of March they will proceed TO
readjudicate new system OF rates for this
line. The system of rates thus quickly
suspended by the honorable Board of Rail-
way Commissioners represented the result
reached by them after one years considera-
ton of the freight questions, and after the
decisions and rehearing, we are advised by
counsel that the order of February 90,
suspending the rates of February 10, may
not be legally operative. However this
may be, the freighting public will see that
it is impossible for this company, be-
tween this time and the 5th of
March, tn formulate any new tar
if To take the place of that sus-
pended by the Commissioners, nor would it
be useful to do ~. for, owing to the varied
conflicting decisions of the honorable Board
of Railway Commissioners, it is impossible
for the Company to tell what may be the
decisions reached by the honorable Board on
the 5th of March until some definite con-
clusion shall have been reached upon the
whole subject. There is but one safe course
in law for the Company to pursue, namely:
To continue in effect the system of rates
ordered by the old Board of Railway Com
missiOners on the 18th Of February. This
Company desires to assure the people living
on its line that a. soon as these questions
have been legally determined. or rs soon as
the rate making power shall have been
again entrusted to the Traffic Department
of this road, we shall use every reasonable
measure in our power to give satisfaction 70
our patrons.
