RAILROAD RATES.
Charges from Duluth to New Vim
the Same as to Madison,

The Minneapolis & St. Louis and
St. Paul & Duluth railroad COM
panies have fled with the State rail-
road and warehouse commission replies
to the citation based upon the COM
plant made by the Commercial Union
of New Ulm, that the rate charged for
the carriage of hard coal from Duluth
to that place is excessive, $3.50 per ton,
while the same rate is charged to
Madison, much longer distance.
The reply made by the Minneapolis
& St. Lonis railroad is signed by W. NJ.
Hopkins, general freight agent. Mr..
Hopkins says that the $3.50 rate is not
excessive and does not afford the car
riers undue revenue. "The distance
from Duluth to New Ulm, via the St.
Paul & Duluth, Minneapolis & St.
Louis and New Ulm & Southwestern
railways is $50 miles. For this dis
lance the charge is not excessive and
does not afford undue compensation to
any carriers. The New Ulm & South.
western has not paid since built and
has made no return on the capital in
vested. The reduction of the rate
would entail serious loss by reason of
reducing rates to a number of points
where the New Ulm rate now applies"
To Madison, Mimi, from Duluth, is
1888 miles, and Mr.. Hopkins says the
Minneapolis & St. Louis is not respon-
sible for the Madison rate. tits unrea-
sonably low for the distance that the
commodity has to be transported, over
the St. Paul & Duluth, Minneapolis &
St. Louis, Wisconsin, Minnesota & Pa
cifc railroads. The rate is made
necessary by reason of the rate prevail
ing at Appleton, opposite Madison, on
the Great Northern railroad, the dis
lance to Appleton from Duluth being
$50 miles. The same rate must be
made to Madison as to Appleton to
afford dealers opportunity to distribute
coal in territory equidistant between
Madison and Appleton. The rate to-
New Ulm is not excessive as compared
with the Appleton rate, about the same
distance from Duluth as New Ulm."
Mr.. Hopkins asks the commission to
let the rate stand as it is.

This amendment provides for State
aid according to plan similar to that
which was adopted several years ago
in New Jersey, where it has proved
very satisfactory indeed. By this pro-
posed amendment the legislature is
authorized to establish a State road
and bridge fund and provide for q
State highway commission, whose
members must serve without compeE-
sation, and which shall have general
supervision of the expenditure of the
State road and bridge fund. This
amendment does not contemplate that
the State shall actually build any
wagon roads, but it shall contribute not
to exceed one-third of cost of any road,
the other two-thirds to be paid by the
locality where the road is built. The
actual construction of the road so
built is to be under the immediate
supervision of the local authorities,
the State commission simply deter
mining, in general way, what the
character of the road shall be and re-
quiring, before the State pays any
money for the improvement that the
road shall be constructed according to
plans which it has approved.
The State road and bridge fund au
thorized by this amendment is to con-
sist of present internal improvement
