PRESIDENT STICKNEY'S ARGUMENT
HE TELLS THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION ABOUT


THE Evils OF THE CUT RATE.
Dubuque Iowa, July 25-Thc Interstate Commerce
Commission met here to-day TO consider tho charges
against the Chicago, ST. Paul, and Kansas City Rail
road for violating the law By charging more

st Paul, and Kansas City, Illinois Central Milwaukee.
Northwestern Chicago and Omaha, Burlington MInncap
oils and st. Louis, and Wisconsin Central roads wcro
represented BY their general officers.
Mr. Bum, general solicitor OF tho Chicago, st. Paul
and Kansas City, opened in brief argument Presi-
dent stickney followed at greater length. II adj
mittcd that the rate from Chicago to Dubuque Is 40
cents Chicago to ST. Paul the same; and between
Dubuque and ST. Paul higher II declared that
this Is justified b. tho necessities OF the situation
created by the Chicago. Burlington and Northern
cutting tho ST. Paul and Chicago rate 10 40 cents and
by low lake and railroad rates from the scaboard
st. Paul. Mr.. stickney declared that they had rot
violated tho law. The low rate TO St. Paul is he sad
an evil which must be corrected by compelling the
Chicago, Burlington and Northern to advance their
rates. which would be done under the clause requiring
that all rates should be reasonable This rate h de-
clarcd TO be unreasonaby low, because the Chicago,
Burlington and Northern IS not paying operating ex-
penses.
The Chicago ST. Paul and Kansas City, he declared
should not be compelled either to advance rates at ST.
Paul lower them between Dubuque and st. Paul
The former action would result in loss of ST. Paul
business without benefit to any except the Bur
ngfon. and would ruin the Chicago. ST. Paul ard
Kansas City Road. The latter ratio would also render

able. and II they were lowered to
