oucers furnish enormous shipments
ana their patronage is necessary;
therefore they are able to force their
own rates. And the rebate given to
these men must be made UP by the
general mass in demanding of them
higher freight rates. This is an impo-
sltlon which the American people will
not stand. They will demand fair
play, which is that equal rates be
charged to all. And congress should
nave the power to fix these rates.
Dekalb. on the negative, said:
The question of railroad freight tran
sportation rates is of deep concern to
the American people and on that
question requires profound study 1t
cannot be judged from a narrow
ditions. All students of political econ
omy are on the negative side of this
question. There is great deal of
merit on the side of the railroad. The
prosperity of our state is due to the
advent of more efficient means of
transportation. Less than a hundred
years ago it was said in congress that
the west could not be made an integ-
raj part of the Union on account of
the lack of transportation facilities.
Most people do not know the true
facts concerning railroad rates. The
freight rates in our country are less
than those in France, Germany, Aus
tria, Russia and other European coun-
tries, and the rates in this country are
gradually coming down until at the
present time they are only about one-
