Mr.. A. S. DODGE SUBMITS A PROPOSITION
Suggests that the TexariSnnn Rate
lie Raised-whnt IA Local halfway
Man Has TO Say.

Austin, Texas. July 31.--The railroad
commission this morning resumed consid-
GRAFTON of the proposed rates suggested
by the Southwestern lines as cure for
the Texarkana situation, Traffic Manager
Dodge of the Cotton Belt having arrived
from st. Louis with the details. BY way
OF explanation he stated that the Texar-
kama Shreveport lines had decided to ad-
vance interstate rates to Shreveport re-
gardless of the New Orleans situation ana
submitted the figures resulting from A
working out of the proposed adjustment,
showing material advances on class and
commodity rates from the seaboard and
defined territories. Briefly explained sa d
adjustment increases first-class rates so
as to bring them within 10 cents of the
Texas common point rate, and makes Sec
ond and thirdclsss rates the same as the
Texas common point rate, other classes TO
be based on the Little Rock combination
According TO MIR. Dodge under the rates
submitted on this proposed adjustment the
adjustment of State rates by raising them
from TeXarkana suggested to offset what
little advantage may be left Texarkana
would not have to reach beyond twenty
miles from that point. Mr.. Dodge also
| said that the Texarkana lines intended
to put IN the proposed rates regardless
OF the certainty of being unable to obtain
an Increase pf the rates from New Or
leans TO Shreveport on concessions from
the Illinois Genital and other lines east OF
| the Mississippi in the matter of Shreve-
port differenuals. II, however, a sufi-
cient increase in the Shreveport rate is
not brought about other expedients will
be resorted to in an eudeavor to effect
1t. meeting of the Shreveport lines
will be held at Kansas City next week
at which the matter will be taken up, the
indications being that harmonious action
on the part OF these lines will ensue.
Finally Chairman Reagan announced
that the figures submitted by Mr. Dodge
would be compared with those at pres
eut in effect and that If IT. was found that
an honest effort had been made to meet
the situation the commission would make
point of doing all in its power to help
| 1T along.

According TO railroad men the Austin
hearing has turaed out as was expected,
almost barren of results, There are two
small words which are decidedly import
ant. One is 'if" and the other is "but,"
and into the Shreveport Texarkana sit
uation both of these monosyllables enter
in carloads.
/ The Post representative yesterday dis
oussed the problem with prominent
freight man and. he freely said that in
his opinion there was no solution of
the trouble. For decade or two the
brightest minds in the railway traffic
service had tried to settle the matter but
had failed, because IF Shreveport was
not entitled to a water rate she would
not have one, But as Shreveport has
water rate what can be done? Why re-
movo either the water or Shreveport
1t is no new condition, he said but one
which has confronted the roads for years,
and they have honestly tried TO solve
It, hut have failed. He stated that
Hampstead Navascta or any other point
might as reasonably ask to be put on the
same basis with Houston or Galveston MS
the towns raising the complaints ask
to be placed on a basis with Shreveport.
When asked as to the effect nf the pro-
posed 25 per cent reduction. the gentle-
man talking to The Post man said
ut is more far reaching than It APP
rears on It's surface. 1t was the evident
intention of the commission 10 bring
about a sweeping reduction in rates
generally.
The commissioners knew that their or
der could not remedy the Shreveport
situation, and they knew further that
1t is not the duty Of railroads to make
profits for jobbers. We cannot go beyond
the sum of the locals because the law
prohibits such action. and to relieve the
Shreveport trouble that would have to
be done. There is no other way around
It.
"Now. as to the 25 per cent cut In Tex
as rates Although it would be a hard
ship we might be able to stand It, Rut
as the Texas rates are reduced so are the
through rates, because they are based
on the Texas rates. And / will say right
hero that not one line in Texas drives
half its revenue from the local traffic
along its line We are dependent on our
through rates. SO you see that the 2
rer cent reduction in Texas rates cut;
all our tariffs becarse our through rates
must conform to the basing rates"

EXPANSION CONDEMNED.

Strong Resolutions Adopted by the Anti-
Imperialists.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 26.-The second
days session Of the Eastern conference
Of anti-imperialists was characterized
by the adoption Of a strong resolution
condemning the expansion policy of the
administration. During the discussion
President Mckinley was severely criti-
cised and held personally responsible
for the criminal aggression of the
country" Answering the objections of
those who favored striking out the
nam of Mr.. Mckinley, Frank Stephens
of this city said:
THAT murderer is the man who ie
chiefly to blame for the shame that
rests upon this country, and his name
should not be removed"
A further resolution was adopted re-
citing the cable report from Manila,
that insurgents were hereafter to be
treated as bandits and executed. This
action was compared with the policy of
General Weyler in Cuba.
