Say Railroad Rates Are Too High.
The Wisconsin railroad rate COM
mission gave the Wisconsin Cheese
makers association third hearing on
it's complaint that the rates for the
transportation of cheese, whey butter
and materials used in the packing and
care of these were excessive and I'M
reasonable. The cheese men have been
fighting for lower rates on their prod
ucts for years The complaints were
particularly directed aginst the Chica-
go & Northwestern, the Chicago, Mil
waullee e st. Paul and the Illinois
Central. 1t was complained that the
rates for transporta ton of cheese were
excessive and enabled the eastern
manufacturers TO compete with the
Wisconsin manufacturers in the large
markets of the central west. The rate
on butter made from whey, which
brings about seven cents per pound.
is about the same as that on dairy
butter which brings 20 cents per
pound. The rates on tin foil which
1imberger cheese is wrapped, on cheese
boxes and other materials were ex-
cessive, the compliments declared.
The railroad representatives contend
ed that the rates were not excessive,
that the products were unusually val
liable, requiring special care and at
tention, that the rates compared ia
voraEly with those charged in other
states and that the railroads as a
whole were doing the best they could
to derelop all of the industries of the
state. The cheese manufacturers were
represented by Attorney John Luch-
singer, of Monroe, Edward Wittwer,
of Monticello, and H. G. Davis, of
Plymouth. The representatives of the
railroads were: Illinois Central, Burr
w. Jones and General Freight Agent
Font; Chicago & Northwestern, Attor-
ney S, A. Lynde and General Freight
Agent f. 3. Lyman; Chicago, Milwau-
kee e ST. Paul, General Freight Agent

Washington. - President Roosevelt
Friday transmitted to congress the re-
port of James r. Garfield, commission
er of corporations, giving the results
of his investigation of the subject of
transportation and freight rates in
connection with the oil industry.
In his message the president ex-
presses the view that the report is of
capital Importance because of the eff
fort now being made to secure such
enlargement of the powers of the in
terstate commerce commission as will
confer upon the commission power in
some measure adequate to meet the
clearly demonstrated needs of the Sit
uation. The facts set forth in the re-
port, he declares, are for the most part
not disputed. That the Standard Oil
company has benefited enormously up
almost to the present moment by Sc
cret rates, many of which were clear
ly unlawful, the president says the re-
port clearly shows.
Abolish Secret Rates.
The president then says:
A very striking result of the inves-
tigation has been that shortly after
the discovery of these secret rates by
the commissioner of corporations the
major portion of them was promptly
corrected by the railroads, s. that
most of them have now been done

Attack Civil Service Law.

Papers have been served in a suit
brought by the state banking depart
ment attacking the constitutionality of
the new state civil service law. The
intent of the law, it is claimed, was to
exempt the banking department, but
the attorney general held that the de-
partment is not exempt. Points urged
are that the commission usurps the
powers of the secretary of state in
auditing vouchers, that it employs leg
islative powers in making rules and
bylaws, and illegally seeks to hold
jurisdiction over the banking depart
ment

FOR GOTHAM. 100000 COWS
Vast Number Of Bovines Which Sup
ply New York with It's milk
and Cream Products.

1t takes 100000 cows to supply
New York city with milk and
cream, and other cities in about
the same proportion to popula-
tion. If it were necessary to de-
liver this quantity in wagons,
bread and milk would be a greater
luxury than terrapin in all large
cities. But the miIk-train and the
refrigerating process bring city
and country into surprisingly
close relations. Every New Eng
land state pours milk into Boston.
Each day trains start from points
in Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont. more than 100 miles
away. Philadelphia's nilk-routes
radiate for distances nearly as
great in all directions. like the
spokes of a wheel-obviously not
a waterwheel. And Chicago
draws on the great dairy states Of
the middle west. New York, with
its enormous population, receives
milk from close to the shores of
Lake Ontario and the River ST.
Lawrence; certain of these routes
are nearly 400 miles long. Parts
OF New Jersey and Pennsylvania
also contribute. Maps of the
watershed Of great areas appear
in the biographies. The milk
she'd" or the directions in which
streams Of milk flow to the con-
suming centers. is hardly less
definitely established. Milk-trains
run on passenger schedules, often
IN connection with passenger
cars. Their receipts are carried.
on most railroad accounts, as pas.
senger earnings. Strong locomo-
tics are required to move milk
trains, for they must be on time.

drift means suffering for city chill
dren. The world wants milk with
great regularity; il is hard to ex-
plain to babies its absence, or to
make tEem take substitutes good
naturedly.

New Equipment for Railroads.

CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-Startling totals
are in the dgures which the Railway
Age prints in its issue Of today, show.
ing its annual statistics OF the car aud
locomotive business. The figures show
that in the II months just closed the
railways Of the country have ordered
34l, ,3l5 freight cars, 6,285 locomotives
and $3.50 passenger cars. In 1904 the
figures we're: Locomotives, 2,53S; pas.
senger cars, 2,2l3; freight cars, 146,.
561.
In commenting upon the matter the
Railway Age says: 1.-THE aggregate
capacity of the car and locomotive
plants aud the railway shops which
build new equipment is not sufacien,
to produce in IL months the large re.
suits represented in the footings. l,
therefore follows that the orders here
recorded will, in many cases, carry
the builders far into the present year,
and possibly in some cases it will be
the end of 1905 before deliveries are
completed. 1t IL not likely in view oi

Debate On Philippine Tariff.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Debate on
the Philippine tariff bill was contin.
ued today. MIR. Clark Mo. J, speak.
ing OF the area and productiveness OF
the Philippine islauds, said he had
never been 90 much surprised since a
republican beat him 10 1894. Stating
the democratic position, he said his
party would vote for It, although In
committee the democrats had voted
against it, simply because the demo.
cratic substitutes for absolute free
trade had not been supported by the
republicans.
BY producing figures showing the
acreage production Of beet and cane
sugar in this country in comparison
with the corn crop, Mr.. Clark reported
the conclusion that an acre in sugar
produced two to three times the rev.
enue that an acre OF corn would.
MIR. Clark spoke from the forum In
front OF the speakers desk and as be
proceeded he went across to the re.
publican side and emphasized his
statement with gestures directly in the
faces of his political opponents.
Having his attention called to the
question of the sugar trust by q
question from Broussard (Lal. he
declared dramatically, 'I'll tell you
about the sugar trust - II you bee,

of 264 cents on refined sugar, we will
