Severance Says They Will Prove
Proposed Reduction Is
Unreasonable.
Country Merchants Would Get
the Only Benefit stickney
First Witness.
The railroads have calculated
that the proposed reduction in state
merchandise rates would cut their
revenues $75,D00 a year.

G. A. Severance, attorney for the
Minnesota railroads sin the hearing on
merchandise rates, opened the case to-
day with memorandum stating the
railroad position and the line Of proof
they will use to show the proposed
schedule unreasonably low. He an
bounced that it would take, about all
the week to present their testimony.
The first witness presented was A. B.
Stickney, president of the Great West
ern, who took the stand at o CLOCK,
and the long delayed hearing was finally
under way. IL -
! According to the statement Mr.. Sew
erance made to the commission, the rail
roads will offer a vast amount of evil
dence, much of it in statistical form,
to show the following things: ~
What Railroads Will Show.
Fhat the schedule of rates proposed
by the commission is Hinadequate and
unreasonably low. -
That it is an innovation and would
disturb the existing equilibrium be-
tween centers. -. .sFr
|: That it would make it. impossible for
the long Gneato compete with the short
line to comnlon points and thus remove
competition In service for the business
at such PLACES. =. .......e. = -
/ That the consumer would get no bene-
fit from reduced merchandise rates, as
the country merchant and saloonkeeper
would absorb the difference, and would
not reduce the price of his wares at all.
That the comparison of Minnesota
rates with those of Iowa and Illinois
is not fair one. ~ u.
That ON business actually handled
within the state rates in Iowa are
actually higher than they are in Min
nesota, as Minnesota rates are lower
than Iowa on the short distances.
That local rates in Minnesota are
lower than the Minnesota proportion of
interstate rates. ~ :. - =
That the extra cost OF handling loca
business is much higher than generally
supposed, according to tests recent,
madeSfor ,thaannrpose of the hearing.
That the. present, earningssof the Min
nesota roads arernet excessive. =
t. RI Puts Burden Oh the state.
| Mr.. Severance opened with the prop
osition that the burden is on the stat
! to prove that existing rates are to-
high, He supported the statement thus
| In a statute enacted April IA, 1905
the legislature declared existing rate
to be just and reasonable. The resolu
ton ordering the railroad commission
| to revise and reduce rates was. intro
4 duced prior to that time, on April 6
| The latest declaration Of the legislature
therefore, upheld the present rates. il
its resolution the legislature ignored tn,
fact that before a reduction is made
the commission must first find the OK
listing rate unreasonable. So the com
mission is not obliged to reduce rates
The resolution Of the legislator
amounts to complaints only. Mr.. Sew
erance intimated that the railroad
would have made no appearance unles

BRJDGE LOOP COMPLICATIONS.

Elaborate as has been the discussion of plans
for linking the Williamsburg and Brooklyn
bridges for transportation purposes, the subject
has at least one phase which has escaped gen.
eral notice Controller Metz presented 1t at
the last meeting OF the Rapid Transit Commits
sion in the form of question. Are the peo-
pie of Brooklyn" he asked. ito be compelled to
pay second fare in getting to New York;
II was evidently the intention OF Mr.. Metz to
suggest if he did not explicitly say so, that, If
the new route would accommodate the trains Of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, the loop
service would involve no extra tax on the pas
sengers, whereas the construction OF a subway,
TO be operated by another corporation. would
lead to the imposition OF an additional charge
The awkwardness OF the dilemma IN which
the municipal authorities are placed by this In
quiry needs no emphasis The Rapid Transit
Commission must be fully awake 10 the popular
.sensitveness about anything suggestive of ex-
tortiOn in the matter OF carfares. Quite aside
from the legal rate 20 Coney Island, which is
still 10 be determined by the courts, there has
been a general demand for free transfer from
one trolley line in Brooklyn TO any other under
the same ownership The same thing is true in
Manhattan. In both boroughs moreover. the
public has regarded with manifest impatience
the precautions which the transportation com
panies have proposed TO adopt to prevent fraud.
Another concession which has been made within
few years is a free ride over the bridge 10
patrons OF either the surface or elevated roads
Of Brooklyn. Not so very long ago 1t was nee
eSsary TO pay an extra fare 1.-TWO and a half
cents for bridge service. The reduction we
believe. was compulsory by law, and a restora-
ton OF the old rate now would be difficult. If
not impossible. In fact. the merest hint that
such thing was meditated would excite gem
eral indignation.
There would be a similar Outburst of resent
ment if the Rapid Transit Commission adopted
a plan which put It in anybOdy's power TO ex-
act further payment for transportation over the
proposed loop In the latter case however
popular opposition would be futile, for If an
Independent corporation controlled the loop, It
would, OF course. charge the legal fare Of i've
cents. Is the city government willing 10 bring
about such a situation?
The advocates OF the subway-or at least
some Of them-have suggested that It might be
used by the trains OF the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Company. Several objections have been
raised TO that proposition. One Of them Is the
difficulty Of making the requisite connection in
Park Row A more decisive obstacle is the fact
that the cars now in use on the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit roads could not run IN the subway, and
the cost OF a new equipment is prohibitive The
only alternative TO the elevated loop would seem
to be a road on which an extra fare can be
legitimately demanded

tion and arbitration do not altogether meet the
needs OF the case and that the problem OF
industrial strife is not yet solved, even In that
paradise of labor in the South Seas. And,
strange 10 say. both employers and employed
unite ia condemning the act though for differ

by a New Zealand correspondent Of 'The Times -

seddon the demands of the unions were Kept
within reasonable bounds and the indusuiai
millennium was TO be reached by tho process
OF evolution rather than of revolution Under
Sir Joseph Ward the socialists evidently are
inclined TO set faster pace. They frankly say
they have had enough of the present competl-
tive system, and they point 10 the revelations
Of the Beef Trust, the New South Wales lano
swindles etc. and firmly declare that they
want an altered system and will not rest con
tent until they get 1t. 1t is plain that even IN
Gods own country the labor agitator ana

earners how they are being robbed does the

wage Garner. of course. is always open TO an
argument of that kind. but when finally, spurred
on by the Unsuitable Mr.. Tregear and other agi-
tators of a similar type. he has at last reached
