NO ROOM FOR COMPLAINT
INDIANAPOLIS GREATLY FAVORED
IN THE WAY OF Low RATES.
The Buying of Securities of the Wa
bash said 10 Have Been in the
Interest of the vanderbiIts.

IT have" said a general passenger agent,
been recently looking into the matter Of
low passenger rates. which are row given
or almost any pretext. and find that there
is mt a. railroad center in the country
where there were so many days in year
that loy rates prevailed as at Indianapolis
NO matter what the occasion is. the roads
are at once asked to announce reduced
rates, and with each year lower rate is
was very satisfactory. then half rate was
asked for and granted, and now the time
has come whe1 only one-cent-a-mile rate
IS satisfactory. ] know of no place where
there are so many societies and so many
conventions as at Indianapolis, and fully
two hundred days of each year, including
Sundays. low rates are given to parties
vestigation will show that this statement as
TO 1897 is true. and before the year is out
the same will doubtless be true of 1898; still,
people complain that the indianapolis roads
do not favor the travelling public with lower
rates. In August there were low rates to
Indianapolis. not including Sundays, thir-
teen days of the month, and on four Of
them but one cent mile, and already six
days of this month low rates are announced
for Indianapolis. and number of societies
are negotiating for reduced rates in and out
Of here. Investigation will show that but
few, If any. cities are more favored than
Indianapolis in this matter of low excursion
rates
