see how they compared with the Kansas
City rates.
The original switching charge of the
Kansas City Belt road was 81 per car,
which was later raised to 50. About the
first of the year all the other roads
raised the rates to 50, and this has been
paid by the shippers without serious
protest, as there were other matters of
greater magnitude which have claimed
their attention. But now that another
dollar has been added. every shipper III
Kansas City is ready to protest.
1t is taken for granted that the 81
rate established by the Belt line is only
forerunner of what other roads will
do. If allowed to stand, this increased
rate means many thousands of dollarS

be inaugurated against it. 1t is pointed
out that the Belt line has always led

When the question of admitting to

the Rock Island, Santa Fe, Missouri
Kansas & Texas and other large sys-
TENS entering the territories directly or
connecting with the centers of traffic

bring about recognition. After the
question of statehood was taken up for
consideration at the last session of con-
gress those who favored the move pro-
fessed to feel certain that the next ses-
sion would act favorably on it,
That the railroads are taking a lively
interest in the matter is evidenced by
the fact that President Henry c. Rouse
of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas mas
included in his annual statement TO the
directors an extended reference to the
statehood question. President Rouse is
of the opinion that both territories will
be admitted when the matter is again
taken up and he assures the directors
that such action would mean increased
prosperity to the road In like manner
competing lines would be benefited
President Rouse points out thar
thousands of people from all parts OF

Oklahoma or Indian Territory just as
soon as the state governments were or
ganized on a substantial basis and by
such movement to the southwest the
railroads would be greatly benefited.

roads at this season have been taken

In anticipation of favora BILE action the

Much of this work had to be done be-
cause of the fact that lines owned by

President Rouse assures the directors
that the money expended in this work
will be amply repaid when the territories
