EDITOR ADVOCATE:-As a citizen of
our great commonwealth l feel humil-
lated and humbled to have the head
officers of our great railway systems
(citizens of other Ststes) "pOke fun at
u.s." First, 1t Is the president Of the
Santa Fe Railroad Company who gets
funny and smuses himself by writing
our Board Of Railroad Commissioners
letter replete with fairy tales which
would have made Baron Munchausen
turn over in his grave with envy could
he have read them; and now comes
w. H. TTuesdsle, general manager of
the Rock Island Railroad, and goes
Ripley several better. The smart
Alecks all over the East have for years
ridiculed Kansas methods, Kansas men
and especially Kansas POpulist State
officials, and l protest against this un-
fair and unequal contest. If these fel-
lows persist in wanting to battle
Kansas officials, or get In controversy
with them, why don't they tackle our
big gunsP Let them address their
communications to Judge DosteT,
Breidenthal OF Clemens, who are "foe-
men worthy Of their STEEL" or let them
try bout at "collsr and elbow" with
our "license.reVoker," Webb. He, too,
will be more than pleased to make it
pleasant for them.
But to the point. The statements
In Truesdsle's communication are so
glaring that prominent shippers in the
State are surprised our Board of Rail
road Commissioners should permit
them to go unchallenged. Mr., Editor,
being Populist whose sympathies are
naturally with the "under dog" / may
be permitted, presume, to show that
the request of the Kansas Railroad
Commissioners for a reduction of 20
per cent. upon existing grain rates on
the Rock Island Railroad in Kansas
was very reasonable demand. In
fact, had the Commissioners demanded
a reduction Of 40 to so per cent. upon
grain rates in the State of Kansas 1t
would not have been unreasonable,
when rates made by this railroad in
other States are compared.
Mr.. Truesdale makes special refer
ence to Illinois rates in his letter to
the Commissioners. He says:
"In addition to a 20 per cent. reduc.
tiOn on the grain schedule in the dis
tance tariff the commission asks the
railways to reduce it's terminal grain
rates Is per cent. These rates are al.
ready very much lower than the rates
in sLy Western State for like distances
to any important market"
Let us compare terminal rates in
Illinois on the Rock Island Railroad
with terminal rates in Kansas on the
Same road for like distances. The rates
are in cents per hundred pounds:
