THE RAILROADS ARGUMENTS. |
Vice President Morton Talks to the
CattIemen.
IF CARS WERE UNIFORM SIZE

Topeka, Feb. ga large number OF
cattlemen and railroad people had a
conference in the supreme court room,
Governor Stanley presiding.
Vice President Paul Morton, of the
Santa Fe, was called upon to open the
discussion. He said that the 100 pound
system was not new or untried. The
railroads appreciate the live stock in
dustry; they recognize it as the leading
industry of the West, and one which
brings them in large portion OF freight
receipts. The change from the car
load rate to the 10o-pound rate was
made for the purpose of fairly asses
sing the transportation charges 1t is
| indefensible for the railroads to charge
a shipper as much for %, 600 pounds as
| for %, 600; for nineteen steers as much
as for twenty-three steers. The 100
pound rate prevents this discrimina-
ton. It has been in use in the East
for years, and has been in use in Kan
sas City on all interstate business for
a long time. The system works no
hardshfps to anyone. The shipper
| simply paws for what he ships. I'm
Kansas there has been some complaint
that the system raises rates" said Mr..
SIIc-~ton. eve think this is mistake.
when carload rates were adopted
cars were twenty-eight feet long.
Later they were built thirty-two to
thirty-four feet long. Now they are
tl1irty-six feet long. The increase in
the carrying space of the thirty-si2
foot car is about 20 per cent; the in
crease in rate only 10 per cent. The
great trouble abott the car rate is tc
.ell what a car is. They vary SO in size
that it is necessary TO adopt some Other
system as basis for charging. The
IOO-pound rate is the equitable an6
fair one. The interests of the railroad;
and cattlemen are mutual. The road:
want to do everything they ought tc
do. Live stock is carried at less profit
than any other class of freight. The
rates are lower for the services per
formed than on any other class o
freight. The service generally has no
b>en good during the past year. The
ucLudHO 1OE cars WAS greater C1dA CI1'
supply. The roads should give bette1
service and they will do it from nov
on. 1t was not our purpose in thu
adoption of the new system to rails
rates. In many instances the rates ar
lower; in some they are higher, but il
The aggregate they are the same. Rail
roads are now required to pay higl
prices for all material. Rails and lum
Der alone have increased enough to ad
vance the cost of maintaining tn
system over $500 mile per year.

ure. An excellent and well rendered pro-
gram was furnished. which is worthy the
highest commentator. and reflects much
credit on those who had il in charge. and
through whose untring efforts the sue
cessful result was accomplished.
The initial number on the program was
beautiful piano solo "Printemps ID Am
our" by Mrs. Brainard. who plays well.
Miss Edna Hopkins. of Baltimore. gave
a number Of delightful recitations. both
humorous and pathetic delineations. in
which her expression and gestures were
true to life. and held the rapt and de-
lighted attention of her audience. OF
Miss Hopkins recitals too much COM
mendation cannot be given. She is ex-
ceedingly clever and talented. and her
exquisite charm is her na,uralness. which
with her winsome personality. makes her
an artist. and one of the best elocutionists
ever heard here.
Miss Augusta Smith rendered very
sweetly beautiful vocal selection, MIR.
Orem played in his inimitable style sew
eral choice solos on the claTionet, OF
which instrument Mr.. Orem is master.
and DR.. George Feldmeyer gave two
songs in his full. rich and melodious
tenor. The crowning feature of the en-
tertainment was National Drill by
fourteen young ladies. dressed in red
skirts. white bodices. blue boleros. white
sailor caps with red. white and blue rib
bons. and carried American flags. Their
marching, evolutions. figures, attitudes
and posing were all executed with grace
and precision, and showed careful and
painstaking training on the part OF those
who coached them. namely Mrs. ames
Brashears and Miss Katherine Parlett, of
whose efforts too much praise cannot be
said. and to whom the credit of the sue
cessful entertainment of the Juniors is
largely due.

Chesapeake to the head of the tidewater
in the Susquehanna short distance

Just now the taking of the FISH is con.
fined to the gill net fisherman. Later on
