COMPLAINT.
BY the townships Of Dayton. Cambria,

Against the Union Pacific Railway Com
paHy- Decision Of the Board q
Railroad Commandments.

The complaints from the above
named townships were presented to-
geiber, and = like complaint from
Wilson township, ia Ellsworth cOun-
~, was submitted &C the same time.
These complaints are Of considerable
Importance and have occupied the
careful and earnest attention OF the
board. They allege that the freight
rates on wheat and corn over the re-
spOndentis railroad are unreasonable
aud should be reduced.
The complaints were represented
By A. p. Collins, who presented 10
the beard an elaborate argument in
writing OF the complaints. We are
not able 10 adopt ali Of Sir. Collins
conclusions, and chiefly for the rea-
SOD that we think the leading argu-
ments are unsound and since the
views therein expressed are popularity
hgid, and are deemed by him quite
cOneitsif h 70 the points suggested, we
feel Justified in examining them.
One argument put forth why Kan
sas railroads can afford to reduce their
rates is drawn from a comparison Of
the rates of operating expenses 10
earnings OF q number Of Kansas roads
with q like number Of lines operating
IN the state Of Illinois. These are set
in tabular form as follows:

Coming now 10 an examination OF
the wheat rate, a number Of questions
present themselves 10 h. claimed in
the argument presented 10 the board
that ia the present condition Of
things the wheat rate IS both Excess
sive and discriminative against the
western portion Of the stale. An eX-
animation OF the scale upon which
the traffic Is constructed would seem to
give support and cOuIdenance % the
latter part Of the charge. 40 Is true
that on the other side IL Is urged that
the wheat rate on the eastern end Of
the lines running east and west in
Kansas Is nominal merely. That 40
wheat is shipped east from stations
upon that portion of the road, and
that this being the case, the discrim-
inatiOn Is In appearance only aud not
real While 10 must be admitted that
there l. great force in this argument,
Il is nevertheless clearly apparent 30
the board that the fact that the scale
Of rates ON wheat rise in unequal ra-
ito "a IL approaches what is known as
the wheat belt Of the state, has been
aud continues 90 be- the source Of irri.
tatiOn and complaint Compared with
the wheat tariffs Of leading roads7per-
ating frOmChicagO west through Iowa
Wisconsin apdMinnesOta,i nfOree upon
suehroads In those states for distances
from Chicago, the tariffOf the Union
Pacific for similar distances from
LeavenwOrth and Kansas City, the
wheat tariff OF the latter road cannot
be said to be absolutely unreasonable
aud excessive, provided the tariffs OF
the other roads furnish a criterion Of
reasOnableness. That they do, con-
sidered with reference % the volume
and conditions Of traffic, IL generally
conceded. The roads operating In
Kansas run through a newer and less
pOpulOus territory aud the conditions
Of traffic are less favorable than Oh
