IOWA NEWS.
Another Kick on Rates.

DIES MONIES, Ia, May s.-[Special Tele
gram to The BEE. The Elgin, Iowa,
Canning company complained to the railroad
commissioners that their rates are not
satisfactory, their charge to Des Moines over
the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern
being about 81 cents, while the rates on
canned goods from Elgin to Chicago, st.
Louis and st. Paul are 30 cents per hundred
pounds, with a 80 cent rate to Omaha soon
to go into effect. The commissioners have
answered their complaint to the effect that
their rate is a maximum rate, and can be
lowered by railroads il they choose to do so,
but that the Burlington road is now class
c roal, and therefore entitled to charge 30
per cent more than the commissioners
schedule if it desires. The commissioners
close their letter with a sharp thrust at the
railroads. as follows:
''The discrimination in rates within the
state by which canned goods have been the
past season laid down in Iowa cities at
lower rates from Baltimore than the same
goods could be transported from Iowa can
ming establishments to the same Iowa points,
in the alb sence OF Joint rates, is one of the
reasons this branch of our industries Ian
guishes."
