Chr Length Affects Prices.

In making the change from dollars per
car to cents per hundred pounds, it is i'm
possible to so adjust the rates as to make
the charges equal to the car rates. All
live stock is not of the same size nor Of
the same weight per head. AS a rule. under
the present basis of rates per hundred
pounds the charge for thirty foot cars ia
less than on the per car basis, both for
cattle and for hogs; for cars of thirty six
feet In length the charge is higher. on the
average, as we furnish at least 20 per cent
more space than in the thirty-foot cars.
although on the per cent basis only 10 per
cent additional was charged, During the
month OF December, 1899, we received at
South Omaha from Nebraska 500 cars of
live stock.
The standard car in use on western
roads is known as the thirty foot car. That
ia the unit. When per car basis was used
as rate basis a greater or less per cent
than 100 was used in asoertaining rates. ac-
cording to the length OF the car used. For
example, cars less than twenty-nine feet in
length took "a per cent; cars thirty four feet
In length, lO7 per cent and thirty-six feet
In length, 1lO per cent. In converting rates
from dollars per car to cents per hundred
pounds the thirty-foot car was used and, in
the case OF cattle, the divisor was LOCO
pounds and hogs $4,000 pounds"
Following the reading of this statement
which included a number OF xample and
several tables showing the comparative
rates under the two systems, General Man

The motive that thus induces are in many
Instances low and groveling and the parties
most actively engaged in again stirring up
this conflict are not actuated, | think. by
the highest motives. but by motives other
than those to which the attention Of the
board has been called by the very few shin
pers interested. Partisan newspapers and
politicians seem to be the most active in

7 state, that never during that time has there
becn less foundation for complaint and less
legitimate complaint than there has been
the last two or three years. Those who
complain have TO be dragged out and pressed
to make their complaints. and these attacks
that have been made upon the board and its
secretaries are not based upon any desire
TO advance the general good to the greatest
number OF people.
w have nothing to conceal. so far as
rates are concerned. There is every reason
for an advance, with everything else that
has advanced, rather thaa FOR a decrease in
rates. The advance on steel rails is from
SIG TO S33; the advance on oak ties Is from
43 cents to 81 cents per tie at st. Louis:
there arc consumed in actual repairs bv the
Burlington system $500, 600 ties per annun.
The advance in the cost OF labor upon this
system is probably somewhere ranging
from 10 to 20 per cent.
Now, under these conditions l think the
board viii hesitate a long while before IL
viii do the unfair thing that is suggested
by those who are interested not in the well
fare Of the shipper or the state. but a desire
to advance their own personal or political
affairs"
\ statement similar to Mr.. Crosby's was
Med by Charles J. Lane Of the Union Pa
cihc and b. F. White OF the Elkhorn closed
the defense with a few remarks in behalf
Of his company.
In response to an invitation by Sccrc-
tary Porter, w. e. Hubbard said that from
his home in lryington the rate per car was
$40 under the old system. while under the
per pound system the cost Ct transporta-
ton was increased 81 per car for cnly a
ten-mile haul. Regarding the reference OF
the railroad men to o~vercrowding cars Mr..
Hibbard said that it had been his expert
ence that overlooking was better for cattle
than undertaking.
