FREIGHT RATES.

1t is a well known fact that railroads
running through dense population are
more profitable than those traversing a
rich but sparsely settled one. 1t requires
consumers as well as producers to give a
road profitable business. Notwithstand-
ing this fact the roads Of Kansas have
pursued policy that is calculated to de-
crease instead of increase the population
of the state. There IS scarcely day IN
the year that there is not in effect an ex-
cursion rate TO some point out of Kan
sas, Will at most there are but three
days in the year when the homeseeker
can visit Kansas at reduced rates.
Again, the local charges for freight are
out of all proportion to through rates.
Commodities are hauled across tie state
from east to west and west to east and
north and south at far less charge than
they make to stop il IN the state. Ii the
roads will not foster an institution that
has to compete with the world, by CIV
ing it living rates, il is bound TO sink,
and that is Just what some of them are
doing. The present policy of the roads
Is destrOyinc what little manufacture
ing interests the state has. Within short
time two of the largest works IN central
Kansas have determined to get out of
the state. An institution in this city
that employs sixty men was quoted
rate to Houston, Tex, that was double
the rate from Kansas City. The biggest
single industry in the state is The manu-
facture of flour, yet the increase in mill
ing capacity has been greater in Kansas
City in the past two years than in all
the state of Kansas. There IS no need
to ask why this is so, for it is simply
question of freight rates.
