TO HEAR GRIEVANCE
Col. WIN. R. MORRISON HAS Ar
RIVED AT KANSAS CITY.

There He viii Listen to the Complaints
Made Against Kansas Roads for Dis
eliminating Against the Producers OF
the State in Favor of Kansas City
Wichita Has a Representative at the
Hearing-Au Kansas, Especially This
Section, Taking a Keen Interest in the
Result.
A telegram from Kansas City says:
Colonel William r. Morrison, chair
man of the interstate commerce COM
mission, arrived here today TO hear the
complaint of the Kansas state board or
railroad commissioners against the
Kansas lines which are members of the
Trans-MiSsouri Freight association, the
matter of grain rates to the Gulf. The
Kansas railroad commission demands
that the railroads make lower rates,
principally on corn, frommany points in
that stale 10 New Orleans and Calves
ton. Chairman Morrison will listen to
the testimony and the arguments in the
grain case alone, tomorrow but the case
viii go before the entire commission be-
fore a decision is rendered"
The outcome of the mission of Com
missioner Morrison TO Kansas City will
be watched with interest by the people
of Kansas and especially by those of
Southern Kansas or the grain growing
belt. Wichita viii be represented at the
meeting. AS stated In the dispatch-the
complaint which Colonel Morrison will
hear is that brought by the Kansas rail-
way commissioners and while grain on
ly is mentioned the investigation will
extend to other commodities. Kansas
City is fighting the movement hard and
there IS hardly doubt but what its
commercial bodies will try and infiu-
ence Colonel Morrison but he is a man
OF Teputed integrity and good judgment
and viii do what IS right If he knows it.
The proposition IS plain and the dele
gates from Kansas at this meeting viii
show it to him. Kansas City essays to
be the market center of the west and
because she is built on a river upon
whose waters a steamboat has not been
seen for years she insists on being
made a basing point for all the state of
Kansas. In other words, she wants to
be given rates that will enable her to
get all the products of Kansas for ship
ment TO tide water even though they
have to be taken from Sedgwick county
there and shipped back en- route TO Gal
weston 1t is the most audacious propo-
sIton ever heard OF. AS Judge King
says it would be as tenable for Chicago
20 insist on getting the products Of
eastern Indiana TO ship to New York
The Commercial club of this city is
watching the meeting of the shippers of
Kansas with Colonel Morrison.

Caldwell of the Western Passenger as
sociation at Chicago, which says:
'.One fare rate authorized from points
in Kansas within a radius OF $50 miles
of Wichita for Republican rally June s,
with a minimum excursion rate OF SO
cents. Tickets sold June and good
June g."
This means one fare for the round trip
which is better than the rate usually
given This shows the Importance Of
the rally. The railroads see in it a big
thing and know that the crowds will
come here. 1t is something that forty
counties are directly interested in.
