sonab.e. Let me now briefly recapitulate
tie argument. First, the rate of two cents
Per mile proposed, is exceptionally low, and
below the average in the densely populated
counties of Europe. Second, the rate is
lower than has ever been fixed by any State
or country. Third, il is u fact that already
the average rate in this country Is only a
shade above the rates named. Fourth, the
reductions that have been made In the past
ten or twelve years have reduced net earn
ings to less than the amount paid labor. Fifth,
tits highly probable that any farther reduc-
tons would come out of labor. Sixth, to re-
duce the wages of the American laborer is
the very thing we do most heartily wish to
avoid. Seventh, we would cripple an
industry thereby that affords bread and sup
port directly to twenty-nine thousand, aud
indirectly TO u hundred thousand of our cit
liens. Eighth, we would cripple valuable
taX-raying industry, which has paid many
millions into our treasury. Ninth, we would
not benefit labor greatly by the reduction,
but rather the leisurely classes. Tenth, the
reduction, II fastened upon the prosperous
roads, would check energy, industry and
thrift. Eleventh, there is no legal or moral
right TO fix the reduction on roads because
they are prosperous. Twelfth, the only
right and power Is to secure reasonable
rates. Thirteenth, reasonable rates are not
ascertained by exceptional returns to pros
porous individuals, but upon other facts.
Fourteenth, the probable result would be re-
duced facilities for passenger business,
whereas the public Is constantly demanding
increased facilities.

point, but how shall we bring mouths and
ct nsGmers TO the very door and fence of the
ftrmer? giving him living prices at home.
The luilaing up Of this class of consumers
can never be reached by plan that reduces
his wages, cripples his resources and makes
him every year less able to buy and pay for
fam and food products. But | feel sure
you would think had not treated the sub
ject fairly If | did rot notice the claim that
some of the roads In Iowa are making much
more money than they ought to. And there
fore the rate ON these roads, at least ought
to be reduced.
Audubon County Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Audubon Co., Iowa) 1885-1894, 1888-03-01

Thus it is seen that it is proposed to take
frcm the revenues of part Of the railroads
of Iowa, annually, almost as much as all the
railroads of Iowa have paid for taxes in nine
years.
If it be urged that the above report of pas
sengcr earnings on page IL is too large, |
readily concede that it is probably too large,
and that the figures given by the Iowa Rail-
road Commissioners in the body of their re-
port is probably the true amount earned,
which is for

earnings instead of their earnings in Iowa,

annually about S13, 900, COO, and a reduction
of one cent, or from a rate of three cents per
mite to two, will reduce their revenues

;dends. would be rate which would bring
euancial ruin 10 the best Iowa road.
IN it is perfectly plain that passenger rates
above two cents per mile are unreason tole,
we NAV expect to find that, more especially
i,r the denser populated States, where travel
Is heavy. wen defined restrictions will have
been enacted. Yet netting Of the kind is
found in Vermont, Massachusetts,, Connecti-
emf. MARYLAND, North Carolina, Kentucky,
Colorado ard Indiana. These have never
fxed any rate. The mileage Of all these
states. as far as passenger traffic is con-
cerned, is under no restriction whatever.
New York, New Jersey, South Carolina,
Georgia. Mississippi Arkansas, Michigan,
Ohio. Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowa,
Minnesota, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, Cali.
fornia and Alabama have either by law or
through railroad commissioners fixed the
lowest rate at three cents a mile. Virginia
fixes the rate at six cents, Tennessee four
cents, Nevada ten and Oregon foureents per
mile. The rate on the New York Central is
fixed at two cents by charter; and the lowest
rate in New Hampshire is fixed at two and
one-half cents per mile.
II NAV be asserted that in this respect
none of the State Legislatures, nor any of
the railroad commissions, charged with the
duty Of fixing passenger rates, have done
their duty, but he who makes such claim
ought at least 70 fortify it by some showing !;
otherwise he may be justly challenged with
making an unfounded assertion.
The proposition, is confined to the first
class roads of Iowa, proposes one-third re-
duction of their revenue from passenger bus
mess.
