These yards cost about $4,000 or $4,000
each and we are at some expense keeping
them up We spent $4,000 last year In
maintaining our yards-about SIG apiece on
the Iowa Central and $40 apiece on the
other road. Our road has added N,OO0OOo in
wealth to the northwest in the last year
by our continuing in the live stock freight
business. Our road has lost money. l be-
lieve the rate on live stock Is too low. II
VIC did not handle the live stock business
we could handle grain at a much higher
rate per car and much better for us. BY
adhering to the live stock business we have
promoted a diversity Of industries in Iowa
TO the great benefit Of the state. Iowa is
a stock state and it is better for the farmer
to raise one steer than to raise its value
in produce. The claim for damage against
our road for live steck products are few,
only two in the last several years on live
stock the claims are very much greater and
quite frequent"
