FRISCO RATE IS OFFSET
Memphis Equalization 0Ountsractsd by Low
Tariffs East from River.
BOYCOTT STILL ON AGAINST ROCK ISLAND
Reduced Schedules Will Protect
Omaha from Discrimination Until
Expiration of Former, Which
Falls on August 10.

One result of the low rates which have
been made on grain from Missouri river
points is a counteracton of the evil effect
on Omaha of the Frisco's Kansas City
Memphis "equalizatio ton" tariff, calculated
to give Kansas City an immense amount
of grain which has always moved through
Omaha. When the rates were cut from
Missouri river TO Chicago, they were also
cut to Memphis, the tariff to that point
being cents from Omaha and cents from
Kansas City. AS the cut rate from Kan
sas City is l cent under the Kansas City
Memphis proportional under the equaliza-
ton plan, the grain naturally goes by the
cut rate and the 'Frisco's equalization"
is noneffective.
1t is said but a small amount Of grain,
in comparison with what the railroad peo-
pie expected to get, has gone to Kansas
City from what is regarded as Omaha 5
territory. From the time the Frisco s
plan went into effect, the Omaha grain
firms determined to hold their own, paid
. to 3 cents more for grain than the mar
ket warranted simply in order to hold
prestige and bring the grain through
Omaha. They have handled large quanti-
ties Of grain without any profit.
The cut rates will keep Omaha from
harm at the hands OF the Rock Island
and Frisco until August 10, when they
become nonefective. In the meantime
the boycott on the Rock island by Omaha
merchants is in effect. and it is said the

proposition to build a new electric light
plant separate from the present water
plant and to issue bonds in an amount
