Hope to Recover Millions for Illegal
Railroad Charges.

Chicago, Jan. 1S.As a result of the
testimony given before the interstate
commerce commission at Chicago, suits
aggresating between $1,000.00o and So,
O0ooo0 probably will be brought against
the railroad companies operating lines
between here and the Missouri river TO
recover charges Illegally made for the
shipping of cattle.
a movement is on foot to have the
various cattle growers and shippers as
sociatons combine with view of bring
ing test cases against the railroads The
suits which are contemplated will be for
the recovery of the difference between
the tariff rates and the rates paid on
packing house products since June 80,
1901, cattle being entitled to equal rates
with packing house products. The cat
tie men base their hope of recovery up
on the rulings of the supreme court that
the same rate must be made for the
transportation of cattle that is made for
dressed beef and the products made
from cattle.

But suppose it does hurt does any one
imagine the farmer is to be denied his
mail route? Is he to be obliged to get
mail once week or drive the long
stretch between him and the postoffice
oftener because some one wants trade?
There is no good to be found in sense
less opposition to rural delivery. Mer-
charts who fear its effect on their bust
ness might better be employed making
ready to meet the new condition and
cope with it successfully. For the uni
versal rural mail delivery is as certain
as it is that the farmer holds in his
hand the career of every congressman.

Marshalltown has five routes ramify
ing into the country in every direction.
and Marshalltown merchants are not
bewailing any loss of trade. The fact is
the routes bring trade. Cities like Mar
shalltown are not hurt but helped by the
mail delivery The trading point hurt is
The village where stocks are small and
largely staples. The farmer, relieved of
the necessity of going to the village for
his mail, drives to the big town on Sat
urday, selects from larger stocks. sells
bic produce at higher rate and buys
his sugar and other staples there. The
mail route does hurt the small town
somewhat.

a fair compensation would be $500

thru a civil service examination, ard
forfeitable only thru civil service

low, $1,000 higher than the same class of
labor would receive in any other bust

If the Fort Dodge Chronicle chronicles
the state OF affairs correctly, FIT. Dodge
business men are making a fight
against the free rural delivery. The bus
mess men urge that tine establishment
OF the free mail service in the country
will have an immensely blightng effect
on the town, and that the growth of FIT.
Dodge and the amount of business done
in the city will be seriously stunted. One
reason for this is that the big mail or
der houses will cut in with their
cataogs and practically control the
business with the farmers. who can or
der goods While at home and receive the
same at their homes The second reason
is that the farmers Will no longer make
weekly pilgrimages to the city for their
mail, and in this manner discontinue to
trade in the city to a great extent"
II is also claimed that Webster City
business men complain of falling off
in business since the free mail delivery
was inaugurated in rural districts. An
Algona paper thinks these very good
reasons for the business men to oppose
rural delivery.
Now it is true that the farmer living
six miles from postofiice does not come
to town as often after the mail delivery
is inaugurated as before. He stays at
home. reads his paper and looks after
his farm. He may buy more at the
crossroads store than previously, but he
does not send any more money to cata-
log houses than he did before.

There are two sides to the catalog
house question. also The writer has no
use for the catalog house, but the argu-
ment used by very sensible farmer in
northern Iowa is hard to get around.
Said he: why do 1 trade with catalog
house? Well, l use the home merchant
Just az he uses me- When I bring in APP
pies, potatoes or produce of any kind to
sell to him, and tell him my apples are
worth rs cents per bushel, he says, Why
man, I can get them from Chicago for 81
cents!' He puts me in competition with
Chicago at once, and that's what I'm
doing with him. I'll trade with him If
he meets the catalog price Meeting the
catalog price is just what Marshalltown
merchants are doing. The writer has in
mind hardware store where Montgom-
cry Wards catalog s handy for efer-
ence and the proprietor offers it to the
prospective buyer to make up his bill
from. He duplicates goods and prices.
Sometimes he cuts the catalog price,
and he tells me his Montgomery Ward
bills afford him particularly handsome
profit. goods for goods. That's what
every merchant should do. Every Iowa
merchant is up against the new condi-
tions. and the one who keeps up with
the procession isn't making much noise
against rural mail routes or catalog
houses He has too much else to do.
