The Railroad Question.

EDITOR ADVOCATED shall assume
that the people Of the West and South
are tributary to and entirely at the
mercy of the people Of the Northeast.
In their report of 1892 the Board Of
Railroad Commissioners Of Iowa state
that less than 100000 worth of the
stocks and bonds issued on Iowa roads
was owned In that State; and while
have no positive data at hand, l pre-.
sumo that less than 81 900, 900 of Kan.
sas railroad stocks and bonds are
owned In Kansas.
The railroads and street railroads Of
the United States were valued at
50, ,6S5, ,4O7, 1923 In 1890. Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania had only
81 ,445, $40, 1888 worth within their Dor.

lions are owned in these nine above
mentioned States and In Europe.
The total net income Of the railroads
Of the United States In 1893 was $542,-
480, 100, and the total net income from
the railroads of the aforementioned
States, including Maryland and Della
ware, was SlSS, 7SS,SOS. The South and
West paid a tribute that year to the
Northeast and to Europe Of not less
than $780, 900; and, moreover, the
West and SouGh, by reason Of the fact
that they must ship their produce to
New York to find market for It and
also receive the bulk Of our imported

less than two-thirds Of the net income

Of rsllrOading, and has been too long
scientifically applied to the Kansas

letting his Republican lawyer legislator
do his thinking and make his laws for

In every instance without exception,
has known as little about rsilrOading

beginning of this article, the farmers
have themselves to blame for this state
Of affairs. Let them get together and
resolve to give no man the nomination
for Legislative or Senatorial honors,
nor the honor Of position on the State

blanket Of mortgages, and these
mortgages are owned almost entirely
by Eastern investors, and Eastern in
Vestors own nearly all Of our different
municipal bonds. Why is it that this
little barren patch Of rocks and gullies:
should practically own all of the rest
Of this country, except by reason of
the fact that by some hocus poc1s they
have found some means of making the
whole country tributary to themP
In my article Of April Is l showed
that the people of the United States
had paid the sum Of $6,697, $50, ,lS9 in
twenty five years as net income on the
freight and passenger traffic alone, and
It Is entirely safe to assume that we
paid not less than $2,OOO,OOO, 900 more
as net income from other sources. And
1t iS to this fact alone that the poverty
Of the West and the sllluence Of the
East Is largely to be attributed. 1t is
impossible that there should be any
equitable or just distribution Of tho
wealth of our country so long as one
portion Of 1t holds all other portions In
a state Of absolute vsssslage to It.
It is stated on good authority that
sixteen men control the entire trans
portstion business between New York
and Chicago, and that they control
capital of $4,000, 100000 between those
points. Can prosperity come to our
people when so few men as this control
such an immense businessP
The day came In England and in the
United States when the public roads
had to become free. The railroads Of
to. day perform a much more important
service for the people and are of much
more Importance than were the turn
pixies Of old. Their services are of q
much more public nature, and the peO-
pie are much more dependent upon
them for this service than were the
people dependent upon the turnplkes
Of old, and yet the turnpikes under no
circumstances could WELD the influence
for good or evil that is possible to the
railroads Of the United States.
Politicians may talk of the money
question as being the paramount issue
In American politics; but say that it
is absolutely impossible that our peO-
pie should find any permanent pros
perity so long as the transportation
business Is owned and controlled by
few men located in practically iso.

suits him best. The milling capacity
of the mills In Kansas Is about 10000
bushels of wheat per day. Reduction
of freight rates within the State would
enable these mills to sell flour to local
consumers St q lower price, would
enable them to compete with mills out
side the State in time Of short crops,
and would, therefore, be beneficial to
the entire State.
Lower freight rates on corn between
points in the State would benefit every
Btock.raiser and feeder In the State by
enabling him to 90 farther away for
corn needed for feeding purposes.
The practice Of the railroads having
In effect two kinds of freight rates,
one for local and one for through buSl-
ness within the State, on the same road
and for the same distance, should be
at once abolished. 1t is wrong that
ought not to be tolerated, and the pub.
lie ought to awaken to this unjust dis
elimination at once,
To make this perfectly clear: Let
US suppose Mr.. Jones Of Abilene, Kas.,
desires to ship carload of wheat; the
local freight rate to Kansas City or
LesvenwOrth, Kss., is IA cents per 100
pounds from Abilene. Providing,
however, If this carload Of wheat goes
through to Chicago the local rate be-
tween Abilene and Missouri river towns
is reduced by the railroad company to
IL cents per 100 pounds; but should
Mr.. Jones conclude to ship this same
car of wheat to st. Louis, the railroad
company in that case would accept 1l15
cents per 100 pounds from Abilene to
LeaVenworth. Is this not discrlmins-
tion of the rsnkest soFtP If the rail.
road can afford to haul this wheat 165
miles for H. cents for shipment out
Of the State, then this same railroad
company can haul this wheat the same
distance for Kansas miller to LesV.
enWOrth for liz cents per 100 pounds.
The service In either case Is the same.
Citizens Of Kansas, don't you think the
LeaVenWorth miller who wants wheat
for -four, to be consumed by Kansas peO-
pie, ought to have at least as low q rate
on his wheat as the st. Louis millerP
Let us consider another case. The
local rate of freight on oats or corn
from BelleVille, Kas., to Kansas City,
q distance of about 200 miles, Is 12
cents per 100 pounds. Suppose Mr.,
Brown Of BelleVille has car Uf oats to
ship. II he ships these oats to st.
Louis the railroad company hauling
the car to Kansas City accepts 8 cents
per 100 pounds from the connecting
line as its proportion of the through
rate But should Mr.. Brown sell this
oats to the Kansas City oatmeal mills,
or to one Of the many feed stores for
consumption In Kansas City, the
freight agent would collect the full IL
cents per 100 pounds for hauling the
oats to Kansas City. The same would
apply to a shipment of coin If taken to
Kansas City for shipment to the East.
The railroad company would charge
the conSignOr 8 cents per 100 pounds,
but If shipped to the Kansas City stock
yards for feed the company would
exact IL cents per 100 pounds for the
same service.

RAILROAD DETERMINATIONS
Some Figures on How the Home Markets
Get the Worst of It.

tlOnsl question Of free coinage Of sil-
YER. The railroad question is q very
important one and essentially State
question. A correspondent signing
himself "Old Bill Fisher" In your issue
Of June II hits the nail squarely on the
head in the following sentence: GAS
matters stand to-day the farmers Of
central Kansas are farming with the
railroads on shares, and the railroads
are getting the larger SHARE" Para
dOxiCal as 1t may seem the farmers are
largely to blame for this state of sf-
fairs themselves, and they have 1t In
their power to reduce the share the
railroads have been receiving by elect
ing proper persons to the lsW.making
bodies in the State. The farmers
share can be readily increased by a Sys-
tenn Of railroad legislation that will cut
our present high local rates in two. The
Iowa Legislature number Of years
ago was forced to cut down local rail-
road freight rates In that State, and so
did the Legislature Of the great State
Of Illinois. What was done in Iowa
and Illinois can be done In Kansas.
The eXtOrtionste local freight rates in
Kansas enable the railroad companies
to favor pet shippers on both through
and local business, which has created
q kind of q grain trust. Let US cut
down the local rates and the trust will
disappear. This will be a good begin
ming for the establishing Of lower
through rates, and will consequently
reduce the share the Kansas farmer
will have to give up from his labor and
toll.
In a recent letter to the Kansas City
World, Mr.. 7. B. GiroW, formerly Sec
retary Of the AtChison, Kas., Board of
Trade, says: '"The grain business of
this city few years ago consisted of
six or eight firms operating five ele-
VstOrs and employing over 100 men.
From the time these determinations or
percentages were allowed it began to
'dWindle, peak and pine until at the
present time there is but one elevator
In operation, with a force, including
Office men and all, of seven men. The
cause Of this falling eff In the business
has been a source of wonder to many,
and a matter difficult to prove until
the Kansas City investigation began.
If 1t is possible for the railroads to
place In the hands of few men In the
State of Kansas the grain business of
the State, and to allow them to grow
rich by the destruction of their less
fortunate competitors, 1t Is high time
that all dealers combine to demand
justice. Fair and open markets, with
uniform freight rates, both In Kansas,
Missouri and Nebraska, will tend to
give better prices to both producers
and consumers, and to prevent this
grain trust from growing to such 81.
gsntic proportions that It will be Inn
possible to kill It.
Mr.. Girow describes our condition In
this State to q nicely. What Kansas
needs is lower rates on grain between
points In the State, then the railroads
which reach tie border of ths State
will make such competition for the
through lines that interstate rates will
come down in all directions. The

THE great Hepburn admitted that
free coinage would help the man
who had bullion to sell. Then it
will help the mine owner who pro-
duces bullion. That is just what
the Kootenai Valley needs. Enact
law that will make silver bullion
more valuable and the silver mines
all around us will start up with
hundreds of men employed. The
rancher can then sell his products
and the business man will have
trade and there will be money in
circulation to do business with.
Keep up that talk, thou great and

good for silver and the people on

decision is Judge Standrod, Nc
Kinley republican. The same OBJ

judge in the Kootenai county case
decided against the Electors Dem
ocratic ticket. If his decision was
taken to the supreme court
there is little doubt but that
that body would order the ticket
printed upon the official ballot.
Those silver democrats who desire
to be III line with the national or
ganization, and in whose behalf the

are now thoroughly aroused, and
understand this effort at disfranch-

about that speech. He came here
in company with Senator Fred T.
Dubois. They each talked the same
theory of finance that Senator Du-
bois advocates today. Who remem-
bers the slightest disagreement in
their theories of finance upon that
occasion? No one, for there was no
disagr cement. He was stumping
the state upon the republican state
platform of that year which declared
for Independent free coinage. To

Dubois standing by the principles
he advocated that night, while old

If the Democrats prefer Fred T.
Dubois over a populist for senator,
they sholld vote for the men who
can be depended upon to support
Mr.. Dubois. The legislative candi-
dates in this county who are pledged
to the rejection of Senator Dubois
are Simon p. Donnelly, for the
state senate, and George r. Gray,
Nathan G. Sisson and James A.
Keat, for representatives, on the
Silver Republican ticket. No other
candidates are so pledged or can be
depended upon. The silver repub-
leans are supporting William ].
Bryan, democrat for president;
Frank Steunenberg, democrat for
governor, and Simon P. Donnelly,
a democrat, to head their county
ticket for state senator. Why can
not the democrats consistently vote
for members of the legislature who
will give the Silver Republicans
the U. S. Senator-when that man
is Fred T. Dubois?
