Rejected by Commission
VICTORY FOR IOWA FARMERS
Dairy Commissioner Wright Saves the
Day for tho Farmers and lndepend-
ont reameries-state Concerns
Asked for No Reduction-Rates on
Wagons Reduced.
snecial to rimes-R Republican

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Feb. 9.--The Beatrice
Creamery company, which has driven
many Iowa plants out of business
failed to enter another wedge that
would give them control OF the entire
business Of tho state when the railroad
commission denied the application of
the Beatrice company for n change or
rates on railk and cream. This action
by the commissioners was largely the
result of the opposition by State Dairy
Commissioner Wright. He gave the
creamery company an unexpected jolt
1t had been getting along swimmingly
UP to the time of his appearance. Its
witnesses stated that the rate on
ten gallon can of milk or cream In
Iowa was from % to so per cent higher
than in adjacent states.
When Commissioner Wright took the
stand, however, he developed the fact
that the Beatrice Creamery company is
a Nebraska company and had but one
branch in Iowa, that it was central
lied" institution and since its coming
into this feld $50 Iowa creameries had
been compelled to go out of business.
He said of the 577 Iowa creameres
400 were operated by farmers cooper
alive companies, and that reduction
of rates would tend to build up the big
Centralized" companies. to the detrl-
ment OF the smaller institutions He
said so per cent of the butter manufac-
tured in Iowa was made by these CO.
operative companies. He produced let
tiers from fifty Iowa creameries and
only one asked for a reduction of rates.
The commission agreed with the dairy
commissioner and denied the applica-
ton of the Beatrice company.
The complaints of number of wag-
on manufacturers were then heard and
a change made in the classification OF
common or farm wagons, amounting
to a reduction of rates for 100 miles OF
one third. The commission then ad-
journed until arrangements can be
made to begin the investigation of the
whole freight rate question. AT that
time the BOARD Will take up the charges
filed by the Corn Belt Meat Producers
association that livestock rates, espec-
tally on cattle, are excessive in Iowa,
and much higher than in adjacent
states. The action of the commission
in taking steps for revision of Iowa
rates may head off legislative inves
tigation on that subject, at least until
it is apparent what the result Of the
commissions labors will be.
