Said gentleman to-day speaking
about shipping rates. do you know
that railroads have but little respect
for the inter state law? Well, that is
the fact. Why, look here. and he
went en- to say that he had just made
a purchase of salt at Hutchinson. On
inquiring about the rate for shipping
he found that it was thirty-nine cents
a barrel to Emporia and Burlington
while the rate to Hartford, peint
midway between the two, was fifty
cents, or eleven cents barrel more
He further said that the rate on salt
from Warsaw, New York to points in
Colorado was fifty cents hundred
while railroads charged forty-five cents
a hundred to the same Color ado
points. Again, the rate from Hutch
inson to Hartford is as great as from
Michigan to st. Louis.a Our infor-
mant wanted to know what is the mat
ter with the Interstate commission
Perhaps the principal shortccming IS
that it is not nor cannot be uhiqui
