he characterized the rates charged by
Inc roads south of the Ohio as exorbt
tant and inimical to The business inter

part:
To my mind the information you
FURNISH points conclusively to the fact
that the direct roads from this terri
tory are losing business which should
accrue to them. As matter OF
fact l believe You will agree with me
that the rates charged south of the
river as rule are exorbitant and act
as barrier to the Interchange of pro-
ducts between the West and South. I'm
doubtedly II the Southern roads would
open UP and show the same splri. to
productive industries as is shown by
cur road and the roads OF the North

stimulated and the Southern roads in
the end would be benefited. {,
