Carr ". TayIOF's Views on the Work
OF Railroad Commissioners


Topeka, Sept 1s-Carr ". Taylor,
attorney for the board OF railroad
commissioners, yesterday declared
that the commissioners should be i'm
peached because OF alleged derelic-
lions in their duty In not enforcing
the laws OF the state and not taking
action which would lead to an eQuit-
able adjustment Of freight rates
1t Is worth I'VE million dollars a
year to the railroads to nullify the
transportation laws Of the state" said
Mr. Taylor. The laws are ample to
meet all situations in the state and
give the commissioners the power to
NIX equitable rates. But the present
board does nothing and practically
effort to enforce them II the board
would exercise its discretionary pow
ers in fixing freight rates Il would not
be long until Kansas would have
freight rates that would compare with
the rates in other states. Then we
would see many towns in central Kan
saS built up to populations Of forty
and fifty thousand people where the
population now is ten and twelve
thousand
''I have tried to do my share to Sc
cure equitable freight rates for Kan
sans but have been handicapped by
the lack Of funds with which to gath
er testimony The board has five
thousand dollars at its disposal and
has refused to permit me to use it
What we need to make q good fight
for better freight rates is a large con-
tingent fund and have IL available for
use. The board has failed to enforce
the transportation laws OF the state
and has failed to give the people fair
and just railroad rates that will per-
NIT Kansas people to compete with
those Of other states"
