Reduction to Be Made in
Merchandise Rates.
AVERAGE TWENTY PER CENT.
Railroad and Warehouse Commission
Will Issue lis Order Within a
Week; Hearing Is Ended.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
Merchandise rates are to be reduced
bv the railroad commission.
Action will be taken within a week
The commission will wind up the hear
ing as soon as possible, hear the argu,
ments. and then make an order put
ting into effect the schedule drafted by
the commission and proposed on Jan.
l6 This makes an average reduction of
about 20 per cent in the existing rates.
The railroads will contest the order
in court, and will probably hang it up
for year or two by appeals.
The commission is heartily tired of
the hearing, which has been dragging
along since May ID, 1905. Lately it.
has been dragged into politics, and there
is some evidence that the democratic
managers are trying to have it kept go
ing till after election, in order to ac-
cuse the commissioner of dilatory action
and friendship for the railroads, during
the campaign.
The commission will cut the tangle
into which the hearing has been drawn
and silence the opposition by promptly
issuing the order reducing rates.
There is good authority for saying
that this course has already been de-
termined upon 1t will end all the rum
pus over evidence, which will doubtless
have to be presented in court anyway
The commissioners think Mr.. Mana
han has exceeded the purposes of the
hearing, by going OH fishing eXpedi-
ton to find rebates. He had a right to
cross examine on the railroads testi-
mony by examining the books from
which their testimony was taken. The
railroad officials say they gave hint
every book used in preparing their
tables, and that he insisted on going
through all their records. When this
was refused he started trouble and
wouldn't even glance at the books turned
over to him 1t was this failure to use
the books given him that Attorney Gen
eral Young criticized Manahan for in the
hearing The commission will end this
proceeding by closing the testimony and
ordering the reduction on the ground
that the railroads have not shown cause
why it should not be made
The reduction that will be ordered
provides for a table of distributing rates
according to distances, which will be
used as Il maximum. The railroads may
adjust to local conditions by making
lower rates, but cannot exceed the fig
ures prescribed in making rates and
from terminal points. Distance tariffs
between other points may be per cent
higher than the schedule.
The schedule has been prepared on a
scientific basis, similar to the Iowa dis
lance tariff, but quite different in de-
tails. 1t averages $50 per cent higher
than the Iowa tariff The existing
rates on Minnesota roads were tabulated
and an average taken. Compared with
this average rate, and with the Iowa rate
the new Minnesota maximum rates show
no as follows, giving the frst-class rate
in cents per hundred pounds:
