tance of 160 miles, at the same rate
required Of Aberdeen wholesalers.
who are only forty miles from Red
field. In other words, Sioux Falls
can ship four times as far as Aber-
deem at the same rates.
Another example is seen In the
articles imported into Aberdeen
from the Gulf ports. Aberdeen mer-
chants can better afford to have their
consignments come to Sioux Falls
and reship them from there by local
freight than to ship them straight
through to Aberdeen at the through
Aberdeen rate. The difference In
rates between Sioux City and Sioux
Falls is only five per cent, or one
cent on a twenty cent rate, which is
hardly noticeable and really only
nominal. But between Sioux City
and Aberdeen the discrimination is
so great that it is cheaper for the
Aberdeen dealer to reship. his con-
signment at Sioux Falls.
The cause for this is alleged by
some of the members Of the associ-
alton to be due to politics. II Il
said that the railroad lobbyists at
Pierre have been more kindly dis
posed to towns in the southern part
Of the state than they have to Aber-
deem. Whether there is anything
to such an allegation will be seen
soon beyond all doubt.
