consin Is Not Disseminated Aga

Madison. Wis, April 30.-Governor
Lafolette sent special message to
the legislature during the day upon
the freight commission bill. II is the
most exhaustive treatise upon the sub
ject of railroad freight charges ever
compiled. comprising 128 pages. many
of which are devoted to tables con-
tanning comparisons with railroad tar
ifs in other states in a way intended
to refute the statements and argu-
ments that were made by railroad men
and agents before the assembly com
mittee
If the legislatures of Illinois and
Iowa have given to the people of those
states laws which enable them to Sc
cure rates lower than the Wisconsin
rates for like service, then the people
OF Wisconsin are wronged, and it is
the duty OF the Legislature to remedy
| that wrong. These considerations
furnish the strongest reasons for crit
ical examination and comparison of
| transportation charges in and between
Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois.
The rates for wood for fuel. as
| shown in comparative table of rates
N Wisconsin and Iowa, show that the
| Wisconsin consumer pays an excess
! OF 1863 per cent.
A comparison of rates on cattle to
Chicago and Milwaukee from points
| in Wisconsin, distances in both cases
being about the same, shows Mlwau-
| kee to pay an excess of 25.9 per cent.
Grain Rates Very Excessive.
A comparison of rates on grain
! from points in Wisconsin to Mlwau-
kee with rates from points in Iowa to
the Mississippi river distances being
similar, shows the per cent of excess
for Wisconsin: Wheat 17.8; coarse
grains, 342
The average rate for ten classes of
| general merchandise in a comparison
of rates prevailing in Iowa and Wis
consin. show Wisconsin's rate to be
Is 66 cents per 100 pounds as against
14.10 cents for Iowa. or an excess foI
| Wisconsin of 1924 per cent
For agricultural implements there
are fourteen comparisons, and the
average for these shows that the rate;
in Wisconsin were 6.39 per cen
higher than in Iowa.
A table is presented comparing thu
rates to Chicago on wheat. -four. etc.
and on barley, corn, oats. rye, etc
from twenty-five points in Wisconsin
with the rates from an equal numbe
of shipping points in Illinois, the dis
