YOU, FARMER, ARE INTERESTED.
Central Kansas Wheat Belt Asks Some
Pertinent Questions.
To the Editor Of the Capital.

some of the letters that have been
handed out in reply thereto. and
it occurs to me the more he writes
the worse he makes his case.
There are several things | think
he should explain.
He says in his first epistle, to
quote him literally, The Santa
Fe desires to conduct its business
fairly and with due regard to the
rights of the public"
Let us see how he is carrying
out that desire. A car of wheat
from Mcpherson to Kansas City
pays right at Is cents per hund-
red. That car of wheat is carried
over the Santa Fe railway from
Kansas City to Chicago for s
cents per hundred. according to a
tariff in force a short time ago,
although the distance of the latter
haul is more than double the dis
. lance of the first haul.
Again, at the present time and
for years past, the wheat producer
in central Kansas has paid IL
cents or more per hundred
to get his wheat to Kansas City
| from whence the same car Of
what can be shipped to the Gull
/ for about II cents per hundred,
more than three time the distance
Of the first haul.
Once more, the rate from Nc
Pherson to the Gulf is about 81
cents per hundred while from
Kansas City to the Gulfiti is about
II cents per hundred, as ha'
been shown.
What reason can Mr.. Ripley or
any one else give for making
Kansas City a basing point fol
millions of bushels of wheat rails
ed two hundred miles or more
west of Kansas City, that is seek
ing the nearest outlet to the Gulf
We are told that Pitsburg Penn
has the benefit of the lowest rates
from that city out, of any city il
the country, all because of tn
immense tonnage furnished the
railways. On the same principl
why should central Kansas, that
furnishes the largest wheat ton
mage of any like area en- earth
not be used as a rate basing point
instead of 6lching from the pro
ducer the Is cents per hundred t
ship the wheat to Kansas Cit,
that said point may be used as
rate basing pointl Highway rob
berry is a mild term to apply t.
this sort of manipulation.
Aagair, | am told by merchant
in Mcpherson, they have paid i
some instances more freight t
Z
get goods from Kansas City t
, Mcpherson, than was paid on tn
same goods from New York t
Kansas City.
Once more, will Mr.. Ripley in
r form us why his ana other road
maintain a prohibitive rate on OF
that the independent oil produce
wishes to ship outside of Kansas
Is it owning to his great desire t
treat the public right, or, is it /
the interest of the Standard 0
Coz The facts are the passenge
rate is as nothing compared wit
the feight rate question and Nj
Ripley's attempt to make so muc
out of it is simply desire" t
mislead the public, in MY juds
. ment.
y When one reads some of ii
" replies to Mr.. Ripley they ca
not avoid thinking that he
rapidly getting into the same elias
with the Hydes. Alexanders, Mt
Curdys and NLcCaIls, who, whe
It they were being lashed by NJ.
c Thomas W. Lawson, gave on
= some very plausible letters in sci
n defense. In the light of late
0 history their defense vanishe
and Mr.. Lawson failed to te
