GAIHEAEN PROTEST
Live Stock Association Sends
Out a Petition.
WOULD HAVE SIGNATURES
Cattle Shipping Rates Are to
Be increased.
WOULD HAVE SIGNATURES

Emporia, Kas., July 23.-The Live Stock
association of the state Of Kansas, with
headquarters here, George Plumb, presi-
dent, and Senator L. r. Wright, secretary
is sending out the following petition TO
all the county live stock associations for
signatures. The petition here is being
signed by all the live stock men in Lyon
county:
TO the Honorable Board of Railroad
Commissioners:
Gentlemen: We, the undersigned cat
tie shippers of Kansas hereby desire to
enter our protest against the increase
Of cattle shipping rates to be put in eff
feet by the railroads of this state on Sep
TENDER l, 1903.
About two years ago the Kansas rail-
roads changed the method of charging
for cattle shipments, from the car load
rate to a rate per hundred pounds; al
though the railroads declared at that
time that they wanted no more money out
of the cattle men, but simply desired to
change the method of charging for cat
an average rise in cattle rates through
out the state of about twenty per cent,
and to make another increase of over
fifteen per cent just al the time of year
when shipments are heaviest and the
market the lowest, is more than the in
dustry can stand.
No business in the state today is Ia
boring under the depression found in the
cattle business. Added to the increase
In the price of feed and pasture is a
decline of nearly two dollars per hundred
in the price OF cattle on the market,
and in the face of this condition, and in
view of the raise of rates of two years
ago, to permit the railroads at this time
to increase the present shipping rates
we hold to be most unreasonable and IN
just.
I'VE respectfully petition your honor
able board to give US a hearing upon this
question at the earliest possible date and
in ample time TO prevent the enforcement
of the contemplated raise in rates.

The new Locust street cars which
were brought back to Rock Island
and stored at the Fifth avenue barn
during the week have been put into
commission again, the repairs to the
track which compelled their retire
ment having been completed. The Lo-

portioned off to the South Moline,
Elm street and Watch Tower lines,

be last to receive the long cars.
