Ne railroad commission Was 0ssa0ilSned
IA 1885. railroad rates II general wore
about what IL pleased the companies TO
make them. One Of the first achieve.
ments Of the compassion was reduc'
ton In wood rates in 1885. which were
then cut from 80 to 50 percent, and
have since been placed on the basis Of
\ actiuual cost Of hauling. The year follow
Ing. ito attention was turned to the
matter OF passenger rates, which We're
then w to 4 cents per mile. These
were reduced by order Of the commits.
sion to maximum Of 5 cents per mile,
which has been the rate In eject
ever ,ved since. !! Tho rate 10 still
lower than this B. on communication
and mileage tickets, which are sold
at 2 and az cents per mile. Passenger
rates are % low in Minnesota as in any
state in the country. A conference
was also ordered in the same year. q
which substantially all the railroads
Of the state agreed, upon the commits
sion's order, to reduce rates on grain,
lumber, and live stock, and these were
diminished an average Of 10 per cent.
Reductions Since 1857. =
In 1887 new railroad law was on
acted, under which the commission had
arbitrary power to Ak rates. 1t was
under this law that tho reduction OF
switching charges at Minneapolis was
ordered, and also 3 reduction in milk
rates. The latter was acoeded to ~ the
railroad companies, but the former Wa
carried "a the United Slater supreme
court and the decision 81 the state
supreme court was there reversed. In
the year 1885, again at the instance OF
tho commission, grain rates from the
Red River valley were reduced about Is
per cent: The control BY the same body
Of men Of the matter Of freight
rates. - and ali elevator inspec.
ton and charges has been very
advantageous. A free market has been,
secured and the railroads have become
more liberal every year in encouraging
and facilitating direct shipment by the
farmers: In 1894 handling, y insurance
and storage charges on grain were re-
duced TO 3 cents for the first 10 days,
X cent per bqshel for each 10 days
thereafter OF the first three months,
and Il cent for each SO days after that
time. .,.> ~; 80.
Advantage Of Voluntary Action.
It is fortunate that these very mater
ial reductions have been made in many
instances a. the result of conference,
and persuasion, rather than as conse-
quence Of the arbitrary power, by an.
thority complied with only under pro.
test. It has been found possible in that
way to secure TO shippers OF Minnesota
most advantageous rates and, in mary
cases, better terms have been granted
Voluntarily by the railroad than could
have been forced out of them by ap.
peals to the courts. The amount OF
saving to the people Of the state By pro-
gressive reduction Of freight rates in
the last 10 years may be estimated from
a study Of the following table. The
figures given are the average receipts
on freight per ton per mile by the re-

Great Saving to the Producer. -
Any amount of comparison of this
sort might beatnade to show how great
progress has been made within the last
decade in conforming charges for public
service to the ability Of the producer to
pay, In cheapening to him the cost Of
transportation and in assuring him
substantial measure Of justice in the
marketing Of his products. In the
matter of railroad rates, as in that
Of ID grain inspection and grading,
there still remains much to be done.
Some very important additional re-
ductio7s have been made recently
in coal and grain rates and are now
under consideration by the courts; but
che whole course Of legislation in this
state and Of official action under it goes
to prove that the interests Of the farmer
are safest and are best conserved when
the power that makes the laws and the
power that executes them is lodged in
the hands Of the Republican party.
