The Two.Cent Law.

Evidently the travelling public has
good and sufficient grounds for com
plaint against the railroads which
have not revised their schedules so "a.
to cause the new cents mile rate
to operate smoothly between points
in Iowa and Illinois. The Chicago
Tribune calls attention to the Difficult.
ty in an editorial in which it says:
Manifestly the travelling public ap-
preciates the 2 cents mile railroad
rate. Otherwise passengers would
not submit to the Inconvenience to
which they are put in their efforts
to get it when journeying between
Illinois and Iowa points. Each state
has the cents local rate. but the in
terstate rates based thereon have not
been put in operation by the roads.
Therefore. man going from Chicago
to some Iowa point on the Burlington
road in order to get the lower fare to
which he is entitled has to buy a
ticket to Burlington. There he
leaves his car, buys ticket to his
Iowa destination, has lis baggage
rechecked. and, if he has time to do
all that during the five minutes wait,
goes on to the end of his journey.
Burlington dispatches tell of the
crowds at the ticket window and
the inability of the ticket agents to
attend to all. Some have to miss
their trains or go without tickets.
The excuse Of the railroads is that
it is a difficult and complicated
matter to make out the new Interstate
rates. They say that if fares were
based exclusively on mileage the
longest route to competingEpoint
would charge more than it's COM
petitors. and hence would get no bust
ness. This means that some roads
will have to charge less than cents
mile to get their share of the traffic.
There has to be a delicate process of
intricate adjustment, it is said. to
meet the difficulties presented by the
existence of competing points.
All this does not alter the fact that
the travelling public is entitled to 2
cent interstate rates between such
states as Iowa and Illinois or Illinois
and Indiana and Ohio. The fact that
some roads may find themselves COM
PEELED to charge less than 2 cents a
mile does not affect the right of the
public to be carried at 2 cents. Let
the railroads begin by giving the
public what it has right to demand
and then settle at their leisure what.
ever questions there may be among
themselves.
Compelling passenger to stop at
the state line, buy another ticket,
and recheck his baggage in order to
get the lower fare the law entities

road to engage in. 1t is time for the
interstate commerce commission to
take notice of what is going on in
this part OF the country.

In view Of this contract, 1t is a Sc
rious question whether the w & A
lessees have even the right to to-
Join in the courts any lawful orders
of the state railroad commission, and
it certainly has not the right to open
ly violate its lease without the au-
thority of an order from some courts
of competent jurisdiction.
Rumors about the capitol are to
the effect that the state may move
against the lesses and its officers if
the order of the commission are not
complied with in letter and spirit.
AS stated yesterday, the Western
& Atlantic will selh tickets to Crays-

cents per mile, making the through

cable for the passenger from Atlanta
to Chattanooga to buy a ticket to

be checked. and disembark there and
purchase a new ticket check his
baggage and reembark on the same
