In their power to elect men who will

for this purpose we must elect our very

They must not only be thoroughly
posted upon all railroad and rate mat
ters, but they must be able to cope
with the 500, ,0OOa.year lobbyists Of the

produced the effect Of lowering the
price Of all commodities and neCessa-
rles Of life, excepting those that are
controlled by trusts and mOnopOlieS.
Trade is at q standstlll and labor with
out employment. Nearly every avenue
Of commerce has been adjusted to the
present money standard, and all prod
ucts of labor are now measured by the
flctitiOusly enhanced value Of gold.
The raw material produced by the
farmer and planter and the finished
product of the mechanic or artisan
have suffered alike. In only one Of the
branches of commerce that of distrlb-
uting goods by public carriers, or rail-
roRds-has there been no reduction for
the services performed, and freight
rates and passenger fares are as high
to-day as they were several years ago.
Notwithstanding the fact that the pay
of the railroad employees have under
gone systematic reductions from time
to time.
While the Peoples party advocates
the government ownership Of the rail-
roads of the country as one Of its fun
dsmental tenets, the accomplishment
of this much cherished principle re-
mains In the dim future. What can
be done, then, to relieve the people Of
unjust and exorbitant railroad charges ?
The answer Is brief: That the next
Legislature Of Kansas will be POpullst
goes without saying. Let them formu-
late bill cutting In two the freight
rate schedule as now applied by the
Kansas railroads. The principle Of
government ownership is right, and
the writer Is In full accord with it, but
the application Of it is too remote to be
seriously considered at this time, and
will probably remain to be worked out
by pOsterity. But the coming Legisls-
ture Of Kansas can give US relief, and
give It to us In one session. The old
cry Of undue interference with vested
rights must not be listened to. Neither
is It much use at present to theOriZe on
government ownership, especially when
we can remedy many Of the WrOnge In.
fllcted upon US by railroad companies
through legislative enactment. The
people must have redress immediately.
In cutting Kansas railroad freight
rates In two, our legislators need not
fear of oVerdoing the matter.
In your issue Of June "a you pub
llshed the maximum freight rates as
established by law In Iowa and Illinois.
Low Rs these rates seem as compared
with Kansas freight rates, will sub
NIT evidence to the reader proving
that Illinois railroads charge less than
one.hslf of the freight charges levied
by Kansas railroads for similar SER
vices, and In most instances Illinois
railroads are charging much less than
they are allowed to charge by law.
Let us compare the rates charged by
the Kansas railroads with rates in
effect on the Illinois Central railroad
In the State of Illinois. The rate from
Havana, H., on wheat via Illinois
Central railroad to Chicago, distance
Of 2E8 miles, ia Z cents per 100 pounds;
for the same distance Kansas railroads

Lar service In Kansas the railroads
charge the people II cents per 100
pounds. Take the Chicago, Alton &
St. Louis railroad, from Bloomington,
ILL.,, q distance Of 1876 miles. Its freight
tariff for carrying grain Of all kinds to
Chicago Is 6 cents per 100 pounds. The
Kansas railroads, for the same dis
tsnce, charge 121S cents per l00pounds
for carrying wheat, or more than
double. From Jacksonville to Chi
cago, q distance of 2l5 miles, and from
Venice to Chicago, distance Of 277
miles, the Alton road carries grain for
8 cents per 100 pounds. For similar
services in this State the Kansas rail.
roads charge the wheat shipper l519
and 16 cents per 100 pounds respect
lively. The Wabash railroad hauls
wheat from Altam0nt to Chicago, q
distance Of 1856 miles, for Z cents per
100 pounds, but the greed Of the Kan
sas roads can not be satisfied with less
than 15A cents per 100 pounds for haul
ing wheat an equal distance. From
Litchfield to Chicago, 2S4 miles, and
from East st. Louis to Chicago, 283
miles, the Wabash railroad In Illinois
seems to prosper by charging s cents
per hundred pounds for hauling wheat,
but the Kansas railroad octopus does
not release It's tentacles for less than
l5@ and l6 cents per 100 pounds from
the wheat carried an equal distance.
But the argument may be made that
this Ia not a fair similitude, and that
the comparison ought to be made with
Kansas railroads having lines in lii
nOIs. Very well, then; let us compare
the Santa Fe system in Illinois with it's
Kansss lines. The distance from Joliet,
ILL.,, to Chicago is Al miles. The rate
of freight on wheat or other grain
charged by the Santa Fe road Is 3 cents
per 100 pounds; In Kansas, for q simi-
lar distance, the railroads charge z
cents per 100 pounds on wheat and 6
cents per 100 pounds on COrn-more
than double the amount for which like
services are rendered In Illinois. From
East Fort Madison, ILL.,, to Chicago Is
2S7 miles, and all grain is carried for 10
cents per 100 pounds by the Santa Fe,
but In Kansas the same road would not
humiliste itself by charging less than
154 cents per 100 pounds for hauling
wheat q like distance. The distance
from Pekin, ILL.,, via Santa Fe railroad
to Chicago is 1853 miles, and the charge
for hauling corn from Pekin to Chicago
over this road is 5 cents per 100 pounds;
In Kansas this same company charges
1879 cents per hundred pounds for
hauling corn an equal distance, or two
and one half times as much.
And IL some shipper should point out
this injustice to Mr.. Howe, one Of the
redeemer Railroad Commissioners, his
answer would probably be that the
local rates are low enough and "dO not
concern the producer" " and that "the
carriers interest must be cO1lSidered."
And how about the VirtuouS Rock

In conclusion the committee offered
the following resolution:
"ResolUed, That we, the Commercial

ton com posed of business men, repre-
senting every interest and social faith,
believing in the Importance of this great
work and the necessity of its early COM

in a memorial TO congress, and urge
through our senators and representatives
the immediate appropriation of at least
$l79, ,597 asked for by the chief of en-
gineers, and that it be made available
and at once, and that committee of
five members be appointed to carry out
the objects of this resolution"
A. S. MAC ALLIsTER,'
EMIL SCHANNo.
"What will you do with the commit
tees report, gentlemen?'' asked Presi-
ident Schenck.
Mr. Whealdon promptly moved that
the report be received and placed on file
and that the resolution be adopted. The
motion carried.
The memorial to congress by the As
toria chamber of commerce was then
read. This memorial calls attention to
the uncertainty of the opening of the
locks, that agricultural, horticultural,
wool, lumber and transportation inter-
ests are involved, involving the loss of
thousands of dollars daily, and urges the
urgent need of the appropriation of
$179, ,597, which can profitably be ex-
pended for the fiscal year ending June
S0th, 1897.
This led to general discussion, par
ticipated in by Messrs. Bradshaw,
Whealdon, Mac Allister, LaugbIIn and
Schanno. Mr.. Bradshaw believed that
in the light of the report it was lmr ort-
ant to do the work at once for which

amount should be secured with the least
