ARBITRAToRs REPORT Is MADE
New Southwest Grain Rates to Go Into

New Southwest Grain Rates to Go Into
Effect at an Early Date.
Chicago, March 16-Arbitrators
Faithhorn and Howe have handed down
their decision in the matter of the re-
adjustment of grain rates from Kansas
points and Nebraska TO Galveston and
New Orleans, a question shat has dis
turbed the southwestern freight situ-
alton for months. The decision COW
cred forty pages of typewriter matter
and the rates as fixed by the arbitrators
will go into immediate effect as soon
as they can be checked.
Prior to January 20, all kinds of rates
were being made on grain from Kan
sas points and Nebraska south of the
Beatrice line, to Galveston and New
Orleans. On that date the lines agreed
10 stop all business pending the settle
ment of the dispute by arbitration, and
since then the railroads have become
involved in all manner of troubles.
Shippers in Kansas, Texas and Nebras-
ka contend for the low rates in effect
prior to January 20 and if the rates
named by Messrs. Faithhorn and Howe
do not remove the discrimination it
will be taken in hand by the government
commissioners.
Besides adjusting the grain rates
from the two states named, the arbi-
traitors decision also fixes the rates in
Texas locally in Nebraska and Kansas
The Union Pacific, Denver and Gulf
has made another reduction in rates be
tween Colorado common points, and
has announced that it will hereafter
keep % cents lower between Colorado
common points than either the Denver
and Rio Grande or the Atchison. The
reduction today was 25 cents below the
sum of the locals now in effect. The
disposition of the Atchison was at first
20 meet the rates, but it was requested
by the Denver and Rio Grande not TO
do SO, but TO meet them only as far as

SUBJECT TO STATE TAXATION
Supreme Court Settle the Origin of Pacific
Railroads. Franchises.

Washington, D. c., March 16.-Chief
Justice Fuller in the United States su-
preme court today handed down a de-
cision in the cases of the people of Cal
ifornia against the Central Pacific and
Southern Pacific Railway companies,
involving the right OF the state 10 tax
the franchises of those roads The
railroad companies resisted taxation on
the ground that their franchises were
derived from the national government
as we'll as from the state authorities
and were inseparable. The court holds
that the railroads owe their existence as
corpora atoms to the state and that they
are subject to the state laws in respect
to taxation.
Justice Harlan dissented from the
opinion OF the court. The dissenters
held the franchises to be derived from
the United States and that the mort
cages upon the roads held by the gov
eminent were the property of the ma
tional government and therefore not
subject to state taxation.

Alternative of Reorganizai lion or Extension
is Discussed.
Washington, D. c., March 16.-In the
Pacific raildoad hearing before the COM
mittee today Mr.. Perkins made an ar
gument to the effect that there was no
foundation for the old theory put forth
by the projectors of the Pacific roads
that it was impossible to build line
west from Sioux City on account of ten
geological conditions.
If congress was to give additional
privileges to the Union Pacific by ex-
tending its debt ii should embrace the
opportunity TO right the great wrong
for which congress was responsible, by
which a great section was shut off from
a great many of the advantages of the
lake commerce.
Mr.. Fletcher spoke on the same line.
In the discussion incidental to the
hearing, Chairman Powers held that
the sinking fund was trust fund which
could not be applied to such purposes,
but Mr.. Johnson of California made an
argument that the provision asked for
could be included in any. general bill
involving the organization OF the
Union Pacific. The point was raised
that in case the government concluded
to foreclose instead of extend the debts,
fulfillment of the proposition would be
impossible.
Mr.. Fletcher said that no one in Sec
ton desired the government to go into
the railroad business.
Mr.. Meikeljohn in reply to a question
by Mr.. Arnold OF Pennsylvania, said
that the sentiment in his state was d.
vided, part Of the people desiring fore
closure, others reorganization.

Washington. March 16.-The vice
president today laid before the senate
the reply Of the interstate commerce
commission to a resolution asking in
formation concerning the customs,
rules, regulations and agreements and
charges of certain railroad companies
First the commission reports that there
is no agreement or regulation in writ
ing, other than the regularly establish
ed tariffs and rate sheets between the
companies whose lines extend to or
through Missouri river points, as to
what rates shall be maintained to and
from such points. Companies carry
ing from points east thereof use the Mis-
souri, river as a basing line, and main
tain the same rate to all Missouri riv
er points.
The rates from Chicago and points
east of the Missouri river 10 points
west, in Nebraska, Kansas and Col
orado, are made, as a rule, by com
bination Of the rates east and west of
the river; that is, by adding to the rate
east of the river the local rate between
the river and the point Of destination
west. To this rule of constructing
rates to points west of the river there
are, however, exceptions. In proper
ton to distances the rates and charges
are higher west than east OF the Mis-
souri, river. Whether such difference
in charges is reasonable and warrant
cd by law, is involved in several COM
plants before the commission. In an
swer to an inquiry propounded by the
resolution, the commission submits a
statement Of facts in connection with
advances and reductions on grain and
-four from Kansas and southwestern
points TO points in Texas, in October
last, and the subsequent restoration Of
those rates on January 20. The result
of the restoration was TO considerably
increase the rates on flour and grain
from parts of the grain producing re-
gion Of Kansas, Missouri, Indian Ter
ritory and Oklahoma, as compared with
the rates reduced and in force after
October 30, 1895. Whether the rates
advanced on January 20 are reasonable
or unreasonable and in violation of the
interstate law, is involved IN several
proceedings before the commission The
commission is of the opinion that there
is additional legilation required to bet
ter protect the public interests. Any
evils resulting from the use Of the Mis-
souri, river as a basing line will be rem
edied by amending the law so as to
provide for a thorough routing and
through billing from the point OF ship
ment to the point Of destination at
through rates The commission says
it has asked heretofore for additional
legislation or amendment which would
compel carriers to disclose their defense
to the commission, and confine the
courts, in proceedings to enforce the
commissions orders, TO the considera-
ton of the record made and case tried
before the commission. Such an amend
ment is necessary to the enforcement
of any orders of the commission.
