RAILROAD COMMISSION REPORT.

Various Changes I'm Existing Lnws
Are Recommended.
DES MONIES, Dec. 2.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-The annual report of the State
Board of Railroad Commissioners was filed
with Governor Jackson today. 1t is a
voluminous review of the work of the board
for the past year. The number of miles Of
road in the state is S,4S636. The total earn
ngs of all the roads doing business in the
state on Iowa business is nearly S5.000OC0
less than the year before. The commission
ers state that while decrease is shown in
the earnings of the road, and a smaller
amount has been spent in improvem snts and
fewer men employed at less wages, the
losses of the railroad interest have been
relatively no greater than those of the ag-
ricultural and other interests, due to the
gen-x1l depression of business and partial
crop failure. .u
The commissioners show that joint rates
for sh pmentS over two or more roads are
needed, and that the present joint rase law
has been impossible of enforcement, because
it practically requires the fixing by the COM
miss,oners of rate for each shipment or
class of shipments. general order issued
by the board, making the maximum charge
by each road for its part Of joint carriage
so per cant of the rate for a haul of the
same length over one line was declared in
valid by the courts not because the rate was
unreasonable, but because II had not been fixed
by the commissioners after the manner pre-
scr!bed by law. The commissioners recon-
mend the passage of law fixing joint rates
by statutory enactment S
The commissioners discuss the warehouse
system of Illinois and Minnesota at some
length and express the opinion that the leg
isleture should provide a system of public
warehouses in Iowa in order to facilitate the
holding of grain for higher prices, while at
the same time the warehouse receipts could
be utilized for collateral.

WON'T LOWER THEIR FEES.
Many Inc o the
mill Adnri Tic snmc scnc

Regarding Drs. Copeland and shepard's
strong arraignment of the present scale Of
medical charges, and their advocacy Of
lower fees all along the line. the feeling
differs. While admitting the great good
being done under the Copeland and Shepard
light fee system, the majority of physi-
clans seem candldly OF the opinion that the
rate of $500 a month, including all medi-
cires would not be practicable in other
hands, excepting under similar conditions
OF warm popular support, and consequent
enormous patronage.
