TEXAS
WICHITA is GIVEN MISSOURI
RIVER RATES TO ALL POINTS
Wichita's Big Tonnage Is What the
Railroads Want.

me grain men in this city are feeling
especially happy now. II seems that the
railroads have taken notion to ship
wheat to Texas. They Will no longer
compel them to pay rate equal to the
rate 10 the Missouri river and back 10
Texas.
The roads have given Wichita the same
rates to all Texas points as Kansas
City gets. 1t seems unreasonable that
Wichita should pay the same rates on
from Kansas City, but the grain men
here seem TO think that is good enough
and they are satisfied with IL
When talking about the rate on -four
to Texas points some time ago. J. +.
Howard. of the Union mills. said that
all the millers here asked was an even
show in rates and they would fight their
way into all the markets OF the world
with Kansas hard wheat -four. The
grain men seem to ask nothing more
than an even show with Kansas wheat
TO reach the markets of the world and
when they do not get that they are
entitled 20 howl like coyotes. until even
the Interstate Commerce Commission
can hear them.
When asked yesterday how the rail-
roads came to put in this Texas rate.
~ n. Jones. traffic manager of the
Kansas Grain and Livestock Association
said that 1t was not because Of those
cases filed with the Interstate Com
merce Commission. eli said the real
reason was that Wichita is coming 10
the front as garin center and the roads
are looking out for the big tonnage that
they see centering in this city.
He said it is often remarked that all
things come to him who waits. He said
that might be true in a spiritual sense,
but in business the things come TO the
fellows who get up and rustic. The peo-
pie of Wichita have done a good deal
Of kicking about railroad rates. but they
keep right along rustling while they
were kicking until this has become a
great commercial center The people
have something to ship now and il is
the big tonnage that is bringing the
railroads this way.
Mr.. Jones said the railroads honestly
wanted TO be fair with Wichita and
when shown that we were not getting
just rates the roads were inclined 10
correct the injustice. He thought the
roads would yet do more for Wichita.
He said the thing to do was to get A
big tonnage and then there would be no
trouble with the railroads
Mr. Jones said the organization Of the
Board of Trade here, composed Of grain
men and millers, convinced people all
over the country that there is grain here
to handle and that Wichita is the place
to come TO get it. He showed letters
from men lin southern cities Chatta
nooga, Birmingham. Atlanta. Nashville
Memphis. St Louis and New
Orleans were all asking what the show
was 70 get wheat at Wichita
