The advocate., 1896-04-08

FaLeg unuer Cnls rule or constructing
rates, $1.o9.
To this rule Of constructing rates Il
points west Of the river by combins
tion of rates to and from the river
there are exceptions. The frst-elasE
rate from Chicago to Omaha (Mis-
souri, riVer) is 80 cents; the local rate
thence to Lincoln, Neb., is 80 cents
the aggregate Of this combination of
rates would be S1.10, but a through
rate Of So cents on freight of the first
class is made to Lincoln. The first
class rate from Chicago to Kansas
City is so cents; the rate thence to OF.
CaWs, Kss., is 20 cents; these combined
would make the aggregate or through
rate $l.O9, but the through rate main
tanned is $1.05.
In proportion to distances the rates
and charges are higher west than east
of the Missouri river. For illustration,
the rate from Chicago, through Omaha,
to Julesburg on first.clsss freight is
$l.80, the division being 80 cents to
Omaha, for a distance of 492 miles,
and 81 west of Omaha for q distance
Of 372 miles. The rate from Chicago,
through Kansas City, to Dodge City,
Kas., is $l.67, the division being 80
cents from Chicago to Kansas City, for
distance Of 458 miles, and 81 cents
from Kansas City to Dodge City, a
distance Of 1863 miles.
"Whether such difference in charges
least and west of Missouri river points,
Is reasonable and warranted by lew"
Is involved in several complaints pend
ing and under investigation by the
commission. The carriers claim that
rates, some higher west than east of
the Missouri river, are reasonable and
justi6able because, as they sllege, less
dense population, lighter traffic, and
other conditions west of the river
make the transportation more expen-
siVe.
In this connection 1t may be proper
to refer to the fact that the State of
Nebraska recently sought to establish
lower rates Of transportation In that
State, including those from Missouri
river to interior points, and that the
effort or proceeding to so reduce the
Nebraska rates was enjoined by the
United States Circuit court. In view
Of this fact II may be assumed that any
reduction of rates from points without
to points In that State, which might be
ordered by this commission, on the
basis of Nebraska rates being excessive,
might fail to receive that favorable
consideration of the same court which
is necessary to make any such order of
the commission effective.
AS already shown, rates to Kansas
from points east of the river are con-
structed as are those from points east
of the river to Nebraska.
Beside several proceedings pending
before the commission involving the
lawfulness Of the rates and charges to
which the resolution of the Senate re.
lates, the commission has caused to be
instituted case in the Federal court
in the State of Kansas to test the rea
sonableness and legality of some of the
rates maintained to and from points in
that State, and has employed sddi.
tional counsel to aid the United States

q PRci1c railway, the ACcnlson, 10
peks & Santa Fe railroad, and the Chi.
csgo, Burlington & Quincy railroad, or
''the Burlington system, " though other
companies, with lines extending from
points east thereof to the Missouri
river, have connections west with lines
in which they have proprietary inter
est.
The lines extending to the Missouri
river on the east are the Chicago &
Northwestern railway, the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railway, the Chi
csgo Great Western railway, the Illi-
nois Central railroad, the Sioux City &
Northern railroad, the Chicago & Alton
railroad, the Wabash railroad, and the
roads of "the Burlington system"
The lines extendiDg'to the Missouri
river from the west, other than through
lines, are the Union Pacific railway,
the Fremont, Elkhorn s. Missouri Val
ley railroad, the st. Joseph & Grand
Island railroad, and the Kansas City
Northwestern railroad.
Third-On the Sd day of October,
1895, the rates on -four and grain pre-
yiously in force from certain points in
Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma and
Indian Territories, to Galveston and
other points in Texas, including points
on the Rio Grsnde (the Mexican bor-
der were reduced. The points from
which the rates were so reduced en-
brace most of the south half of all the
grsin-produCing region Of the State Of
Kansas, the southwestern, nearly one.
half, of the State of Missouri, and parts
of Oklahoma and Indian Territories.
On the said Sd day of October, 1895,
the rates on flour and grain to the
Texas points above named, from the
north half, approximately, of the grain.
producing part of the State of Kansas,
from parts of Colorado, Nebraska,
northeastern half Of Missouri, and parts
of Oklahoma were increased.
On the goth of January last all the
above mentioned rates, which had been
either 80 increased or reduced, were re-
stored and made the same as they were
before October 3, 1895. The result of
this restoration on the 10th of January
was to considerably increase the rates
on -four and grain from parts of the
grain. producing region of Kansas, Mis-
souri,, Indian Territory and Oklahoma,
as compared with the rates reduced and
in force after October 3, 1895.
The reductions made on October 3,
1895, were made by the several roads
carrying to the Mexican border and to
Galveston and other gulf ports. Pre-
Vious to this reduction flour and grain
rates from points in Missouri, Kansas,
Nebraska, Colorado, and Oklah ma
and Indian Territories were so adjusted
that part of these products was carried
east through st. Louis, Chicago, and
the several Missouri and Mississippi
crossings, another part going south to
the Mexican border and to the gulf
ports over the roads leading thereto.
The result of the reductions and
changes so made in rates on October 3,
1895, was to divert to the gulf ports a
considerable part of the traffic in flour
and grain from the reduced.rate terri
tory, which had been previously carried

rainfall Of melted snow in inches and hundredths,
during the past twelve hours. ]sobars, or solid
lines connect poin OF equal air pressure; iso-

word "high" means high barometric pressure and

and accompanied by cloudy weather and rains.
"Lows' us ally first appear on the Washington

A Stnrxette.

Mr.. and Mrs. John Smith did not live
happily together. He was a pretty fair
average husband and got along pretty
well with her when she let him. She dld
not get along So well with him and Oft
times let him know it after the manner
of her kind. But the trodden worm will
turn. Time, the great leveler and eYener
up of all things, brought the occasion.
Her tombstone, erected by the bereaved
husband, has inscribed upon it, after
the customary birth and death announce
ments, the scriptural quotation: There
remaineth therefore rest unto the peo-
pie of God. Judge.
