1,11uols Grange OF, Railroads.

In the matter Of the communication OF
the secretary Of the State Grange OF Ill
nois. dated Jan. /, 1897, embodying a
resolution of that body adopted at its
December meeting, 1896. asking the
Board of Railroad and Warehouse Com
missioners to reduce tho passenger rate
from 3 cents to 2 cents per mile.
The commission is OF the opinion that
to do so at this time would be unwise
and unwarranted. anu would be unjust
to the railroad Interest Of the state.
While some OF the great Trunk lines in
Illinois might be atle to stand such a
reduction, yet the smaller roads and
! those which do almost wholly local
business and when are now and have
been for the last two Years struggling
for existence, would be most seriously
affected by it.
Such action on our part would simply
increase the heavy burdens under which
they are staggering now. 1t is we'll
known fact to those who have taken the
trouble to investigate the amount OF
passenger business dnne by the railroads
in Illinois during the past two Years.
that there has been a large decrease in
the number of passengers ctrried. This
is due, in oul judgment, not to the
amount charged for such service, but to
the general depression in all lines OF
business, the low prices oil farm products
and the unsettled financial conditions
which have had their effect Oh the pas
scnefr as well as ti,eilricht business.
And il is al5o a ruc;. as Ehu"a b, ,i,e
sworn reports OF the railroads OF Illinois,
that the capital .,.., stel iii such proper
" has not even paid fair interest 10 the
stockholders. This ,aestion WAS before
us when we revised the freight schedule
IN 1895, and the whole question was
thoroughly considered. We did not
think then, and neither do we feel now,
that. in justice to both the public and
the railroads, because each should stand
on the same equality before the law, this
reduction should be made at this tina
II the country was prosperous our con-
clusions might be different.
The statistics in our office show that
for the PAST three years, 1894, 1885 ant
: 1886, the average amount charged by til,
! railroads per passenger mile Is a frac
/ tion above two cents. although the maxi
mum allowed them was three cents pc
d mile.
y For the reaaon abo.e stated, we do DO
n feel as though this reduction should b
made at this time We are also asked L
/ recommend this reduction to the legisla
. turc. In view Of our conclusion we d
: not feel that it would be consistent to d
i o;however. the legislature has Tho powe

be charged for passenger service, ard W

In conversation with lady from the

asked why she didn't save her eggs when
they were cheap and sell them when
they We're dear. She replied: II tried

each egg in Il newspaper, and put them
in the cellar. The cellar was pretty we'll

the clocks got to stopping. Each made
a trip to the jewclry store, jeweler said
they were al. right, brought them home
and they would step. Finally my hils-
bands watch got to stopping. We he.
gan to think we were btwitched. This
continued until one day. | heard pop

showed that those eggs had been saving

Of their condition by stopping The clocks,
