GOES AGAINST ROADS
Winning for Wichita in Grain
Rates Ordered.
RATE DISCRIMINATION
Heretofore in Force Favoring
Kansas City Held to be Illegal

For years Wichita, Wellington, Win
field, Perry. O. T., Newton, Hutchinson
and HaIstead miIlers and milIers and
grain men Of Southern Kansas generally
have complained Of the discrimination
in rates TO Galveston and Texas points
against this section in favor Of Kansas
City and Kansas city points. For in
stance. the rates on grain from Wichita
10 Galveston have been from to 7 cents
more per hundred from Wichita than
from Kansas City. Car load lots from
Kansas City were sent at 2 cents per
hundred, whereas Is cents per hundred
has been charged from Wichita
More than a year ago steps were taken
70 get this discrimination removed, and
miIlers Of Kansas agreed to bear each a
proportionate amount Of the expense Of a
suit before the Interstate Commerce
Commerce Commission. The case was
taken up through the Kansas State
Board OF railroad commissioners. The
case involved diferentials and several
The Interstate Commerce Commission
yesterday announced its decision in the
case. which was brought against the
Atchison. Topeka and Santa Fe Railway
company and other carriers. The main
points follow:
The changes which have taken place IN
conditions governing the transportation
OF wheat and -four from Kansas points 10
destinations in Texas are not sufficient to
warrant interference in this case with the
diferential making the rate cents high
er on -four than on wheat. which was
approved by the commission in the
Kaufman Milling company Of Enter
prise, Kan, vs.. the Missouri Pacific Rail-
way company.
Carriers of corn and corn meal from
Kansas points TO destinations IN Texas
enforce diferential Of cents per 100
pounds more on corn meal than on corn,
and such difference prohibits the ship
ment Of corn meal ground at Kansas
points into Texas territory.
1t IS held that the difference in rate Of
cents again corn meal and in favor Of
corn unjustly discriminates against Kan
eas millers, and that the d8fferential
should not exceed cents per hundred
pounds.
Several different carriers engaged in
Transporting wheat and corn from points
in Kansas and Missouri and intermediate
points to Galveston and New Orleans
make lower export rates on thase com
modfties from Kansas City No. or points /
in that vicinity than from some of the /
intermediate stations on their respective t
lines. It is held that the higher rates I
from such intermediate points subject /
those localities to undue prejudice and /
that II the carriers are allowed 70 make /
these low export rates. they should in
making them treat all intermediate terri /
tory alike, and desist henceforth from /
charging higher rates from the nearer I
stations than those from the more dis /
tant points
