NO KANSAS 2-cENT RATE.
Mr.. Grattan Deems II Prudent to
Wait Until the Other States Have
Found What power They Possess.

Topeka, Kas., Aug. 15.---Kansas will
not get fiat 2-cent mile passenger
fare, not for time, ateleast, and the
letters asking the railroads to put in
the rate under the threat that the
commissioners might take action
leading to forcing the rate has come
to naught.
Some time ago the board sent out
letter to all the larger railroads ask
ing for the lower rate. Two of the
lines have made replies saying that
they would not put in the rate, as such
action would mean that the fights the
companies were making in other
states to prevent the enforcement of
the 2-cent fare was fraud and that
the companies were not in earnest
in opposing these bills. Then the
members of the board asked the at
torney general for an opinion as to
what should be done. Mr.. Grattan
prepared yesterday the opinion, in
which he recites some law and ex-
plains to the board why it should not
take any further steps in regard to
compelling the. railroads to nut in q
fat 2-cent fare.
