Gentlemen: Having examined closely
into the cost and earnings. Of the A6in-. i
neapolis q st. N Louis Railroad company
~ this state, We have become thoroughly
convinced that said railroad is charging
excessive and exorbitant freight rates,
ana this being specially true a 70 grain
rates. We: demand q reduction OF ct
least two cents q bushel on all distances
sef 100 miles or over. Such q reduction.
Gan be made and yet earn 81 reasonable I
nat profit On the actual amount OF capital
INVESTED In. said road. We further md
that said road. instead of reducing freight
Sratessas the patrons Of this road had the
moral and legal right 70 expect, taking
the earnings into considerations. they have
instead largely Increased the same with
ia the last eighteen months. We there
fore demand that you take such action

Now. under the law, any citizen OF this
state has 9 right to make 9 complaint to !
this commission whenever ne has any
grievance. and this complaint was made
more than twenty months ago; yet the
commission up to: this time, from some
reason unknown to me, have not vet
taken one step toward prosecuting the
company named ~ Senator HaMssr and
myself I mention this simply 70 show
that the commission has, not done as X
ought % have dome. ~ When I complained

Of one month e-om the time made the

commission took action and prosecuted

ONCE ofthe commission for twenty months
before Il has summoned q Jingle witness

ments. It Is not all as you thought Il
would be two years ago, before election.
IN q good MANY departments It has sim
ply been failure So I say again, II
there any reason why we should con-
tanue In power these Metals !? Is there
any reason when We vote the rest of the

serve the support Of any Republican?
