BUILDS 500 CARS.
Armour Packing Company Embarks
in q New Branch of Business.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 20.-Three
hundred refrigerator cars, the first ever
built entirely in Kansas City, have just
been turned out of the car shops of
the Armour Packing company. For
years cars of all kinds have been re-
built in the Kansas City shops, but this
is the first time that brand new car
was ever constructed by Kansas City
Wor<men.
The Armour company was for years
a patron of the American Car and
Foundry company, but when the car
building companies merged prices were
advanced and the packing company de-
cided to BUILD its own cars. The re-
cent work in the Kansas City shops was
in the nature of an experiment, and it
was a successful one.
Two hundred men were given employ
ment, and with the exception of the pat
ented appliances, such as air brakes,
ETC., the material used was all secured
in kansas iCty. Refrigerator cars are
valued at about 81, 900 each. SO the first
output of the Armour shops in Kansas
City represents an expenditure of about
$500 900
There is no immediate demand for
new refrigerator cars on the Armour
company at this time, but 1t is an
nounced that the building of refriger-
ator and other kinds of rolling stock
will be a permanent feature Of the Kan
sas City shops in the future.

RATES TOO HIGH.
Wichita to Have Hearing Before
Interstate Commission.

Washington, Sept. 2O.-On Wednesday
the interstate commerce commission
will begin at Wichita, Kas., the hearing
in the cases of the mayor and city coun-
ell of Wichita against the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad company
for alleged discrimination in charges
on export grain from Wichita to New
rates are too high as compared with
those from Kansas City to New York.
1t Is further reported that the COM
pany permits shippers at Kansas City
other points indefinitely and f1rally
allows them to ship it from Kansas
City to Galveston or New Orleans for
Is cents hundred pounds, and that on
through shipments from Wichita to
Galveston the rates are based on the
local rate to Kansas City, plus IA cents
from Kansas City to Galveston. al
though the natural route for such traf-
fic is direct from Wichita and not
through Kansas City. The Wichita
council also says that the same situa-
ton exists with reference to rates on
flour and other products from Wichita
to Galveston and New Orleans.
The allegation is further made that
the same road has violated certain Sec
tions of the interstate commerce law
in that rates on coal and stock to Wich-
ita from Minden, Mo, McAlester. I. T..
and Russellville. Ark, are higher than
to Kansas City and ST. Joseph. though
Wichita is nearer the mining towns
named.
The next claim is that the Atchison
and the Missouri Pacific railroads have
been guilty of making unreasona BILE
rates on shipments of sugar to Wichita.
The commission also will hear the
case of Wichita against the Illinois
Central railroad involving rates on
bananas, the claim being made that
the rates from New Orleans to Wichita
are unreasonable as compared with
those from New Orleans to Denver,
Kansas City and Omaha.
The other cases to be tried are the
following: Mayor and council of Wich-
tia against the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific railroad, involving discrimi-
mating rates on lumber in car load lots;
against the Missouri Pacific railroad for
undue prejudice in the matter of rates
on flour from Wichita and other points
In Kansas and Missouri to points in
Texas, and against the st. Louis & San
Francisco railroad and others for the
Establishment of class and commodity
rates from Louisville and Cincinnati to
Wichita. 1t is alleged that these are
unreasonable when compared with such
rates to Oklahoma City, Okla
In answer to the allegations the rail-
roads set UP as a defense dissimilar
circumstances and conditions. such as

Santa Fe Extends Canned Goods
Rate to Kansas Points.
Important Move in the Western
Freight Rate War.
STARTED IN COLORADO
Seems to Be Extending to Kan
sas J0bbing Towns.
Cut Amounts to 12 Cents on
Each 100 Pounds.
STARTED IN COLORADO

An aggressive move was made Fri
day by the Santa Fe freight department
In the rate war which Is now raging
among western roads. Letters of In
sent out to all agents, notifying them
that on September % the Santa Fe will
put into effect a cut-rate schedule on
canned goods more sweeping than any
other road has SO far announced.
The reductions affect al Kansas
points of any Importance and amount
to about IL cents on each 100 pounds
A Santa Fe official, speaking of the
present rate war. said: 1T is impossi-
BILE to tell where the trouble started or
how it will end. 1t is simply the old
story of the roads getting mixed up in
scramble. and it would be impossible
to say what the effect of the recent ex-
tension of low rates by the Santa Fe
will have"
The fight started, apparent. in a bit
ter rate war on various classes of
On iron and similar products the rates
were slashed from 40 to SO per cent and
some Of the roads made contracts with
shippers and jobbers which will hold
the low rates until January 1.
The rates through to Colorado proved
to be Injurious to the Kansas City job
bers and others operating from Missouri
river points. They were unable to COM
pete in prices with the Colorado mer-
chants who were getting the advantage
of low rates. So to placate the mer-
chants at Missouri river points and
keep the hands of the Interstate Com
merce commission off of the situa-
ton, the roads were forced to grant a
low rate on canned goods to Missouri
river merchants. This rate amounted to
a reduction from % cents to 10 cents
between Mississippi river points and
Missouri river points.
The latest move of the Santa Fe is to
extend this reduction SO that it will be
of benefit to Kansas shippers and job
bers. The rates are made to apply to
nearly all Kansas points. The tariff
sheet giving the complete changes has
not yet been published. but from the
advance instruction sheet to Santa Fe
agents the following partial list Of rates
Is secured:

of honorable, clean politics. The lit
erature sent out and the campaign book
issued discussed state issues wholly.
The Democrats were challenged to
meet these issues and discuss the man
agement of state affairs by the Repub-
licans and especially Governor Van
SAINTS administration. It was felt that
this was the only legitimate issue and
Governor. Van SAINT wanted to come
before the people for endorsement
strictly on his record. The Republic.

avoided all personalities, all abuse of
candidates, and have even avoided the
use of cartoons.
I How has it been with our oppo-
snents? The Democrats have from the
first lodged all the. legitimate issues
of the campaign and refused to dis.
scuss Them Indeed, Mr.. Rosing's COM
mittee not only refused to meet these,
the only proper issues in state CAM

campaign by the rlarrowest appeals to.

bitterness among the voters of the
